Just finished reading all of Jorge Garcia's (aka Hurley from Lost) blog (which also has an LJ feed). It's really funny and amusing. No Lost spoilers, but that's okay.

As I was adding the feed to my LJ I heard the sounds of a cat about to throw up (which I know so well from the hair balls that Boris occasionally gets). This time it was not Boris but a very perturbed and somewhat frightened Natasha. I acted on instinct and grabbed her to get her onto the tile (so much easier to clean than the carpet). However, unlike Boris who calmly lets me move him, Natasha was not so happy. She flailed. A lot. I got her in the kitchen, but ended up with some nice gashes across my knuckles (we can't cut her nails...neither can the vet. the last time a vet tried she ripped the clipper out of the vet's hand even though she was being held down by the vet's assistant). Then after she threw up, she threw up just a little bit more on the couch arm. Thanks a lot kitty! Cleaned that up too and then cleaned out my scratches.

I'm actually a little worried about Natasha. She didn't eat much of her lunch (and now I know why), and I've never seen her throw up before or even have a hairball. I guess we'll just have to watch her over the next few days. Maybe she's allergic to queencimmy ;)

you're watching Lost and ( cut for minor spoilers )

So brain dead. Had a mid-term for Organizing and Providing Access to Info class, which is one of the most disorganized classes I've ever had. Was not so much fun, but I got through it. Bleh. Brain dead now.

Last night was also not so much in the fun department. After getting home early from study group, I decided to make dinner. Dinner invovled chicken cooking in crushed tomatoes...which is very soupy and will boil. Flipped chicken, chicken came crashing down, made a splashed and burned me on the arm. Ran it under water, but it still blistered just a little bit. Put ice wrapped in paper towels on it.

Just after this happens I get a call from lordaerith saying that he stopped to get the mail and now the car won't start. Run out (with ice on arm), to deal with him. Help him figure out that it's electrical (the automatic locking wasn't working). Make him call AAA. Run back home because stove is on.

Aerith get car jumped by AAA and brings it to Toyota people. He just misses the bus that comes by there. I call a cab for him. Cab doesn't show. He catches the next bus (an hour later). My cell phone almost dies so lots of calling is done while it's on the charger. Not fun. Also, am trying to study for test. Call cjovalle and qyandri and tell them not to come over due to everything.

Aerith gets home around 8:30. We watch the second half of Lost while eating (dinner, at least, came out well). Then I watch Project Runway. OMG, Laura, WTF!

Got to bed. Get up, Aerith has co-worker pick him up, so this is good. Walk to bus stop. Bus is v. late and Mopac is v. busy. Get to class JUST in time. Stop and go traffic combined with anti-bacterial medicine (did I mention I have a bacterial infection...it's treatable, but not fun), makes me nausious. So, right before test I am stressed about test and getting to class on time, nausious, burnt, and worried about car/cost of car.

Test=not fun.

Now, work.

Later reception for grad students. There will be food and drinks, but no drinking for me due to medicine. Then there will be Whole Foods and making breakfast for tomorrow and finishing paper due tomororow. Edit: Ha, finished paper and e-mailed it to prof!

Even later there will be reading and 8-10 page paper for Tuesday and project for Thursday. And possibly (but not likely) Vamp Larp.

Saturday there will be Ren Faire. So says I.

Friday lordaerith and I finished watching Lost season 2. Damn those fucking writers, we hates them my precious!!!!

Saturday lordaerith and artemis42 and I went to breakfast at Sylvester's then we headed over to Amherst and hung out with kjpepper and sundart for a little bit. Headed back to pick up daobear.

In the evening we met up with dawnfeather and her father and saw Cars. Dear lord and lady that was a funny movie. I think the parents were laughing harder than the kids! I know I missed some good lines because I was laughing over them.

Then the 4 of us went out to Packard's for food. I had a DEEP FRIED CHEESEBURGER! It was soooo good!!!!

This morning Aerith and I picked up dawnfeather and then met up with daobear and artemis up in Vermont. We hiked up Wantastiquet Mountain. We took it slow and easy and even though I was the slowest person, no one made me feel bad about it, which I liked. We got a decent way up, but we didn't get to the top. I wanted to, but I knew better than to over exert myself. We came back down and stopped to eat at a really nice outcropping of rock that had a really nice view of Brattleboro, VT. Took lots of pictures and hopefully I'll be able to get them uploaded soon.

aerith and i got primo's for dinner and finished watching all the episodes of Avatar that have been aired on tv. My feet hurt. and my back a bit. and my legs. But i had a good time.

Slept like ASS last night. Had to get up this morning to get my car inspected. Ran into deravyn and his ~l.

In the past 30 hours or so lordaerith and I have watched 8 episodes of Lost. Yup, we're addicted.

My whole house smells like chocolate cake. mmm...cake. made by me from scratch.

Over the weekend we saw the pilot and 3 more episodes of Lost. I dreamed about it! Was tempted to skip work to watch more Lost, but am not.
