Randomness

Another week went by, almost in a breeze… or is it in a storm? Anyway, there was so much to accomplish this week.  

-  I had to submit the outline for this book that I am ghostwriting and I am now waiting for the approval. They better not return it with a jillion notes for revisions. It was tough enough doing research for that thing. And to think it wasn’t a branch of law that I am particularly fond of. I would love to talk about this book, because hey, I am getting published! But I am only ghostwriting it. When it comes out it’s going to be under the name of one of my law school professors. That person is actually a very good writer. I was supposed to just do research but the person has like, three other projects to attend to. It’s okay, just as there won’t be any hassles with the payments! 

- I had to inquire about to cost of an MRI screening. I almost fainted when I found out. It’s going to set me back fifteen grand for a single session, and there is only one hospital in the country that has the machine so I’m left with no choice. It’s actually fine with me, just so I would stop worrying and just so I would be able to find the proper treatment for my migraine, which has been a major biatch for the past couple of months. I was able to find a good neurologist highly recommended by friends. And good thing I thought about consulting first, because the referral would actually save me a lot. For now though, I am under observation, was given minor sedatives so I would sleep on time, and for at least eight hours each day. Who would’ve thought there will come a time when I will actually ask for sedatives (a.k.a. sleeping pills)? I never liked being dependent on any drug, but this one’s necessary. It’s just for two weeks though. I hope nothing’s seriously wrong with me. I would joke a lot about it, you know about being literally sick in the head. Hehehe Anyways… 

-  I have a new favorite TV show. So for the past couple of years I have stayed away from the TV because I know I am easily distracted. But now that I am free of law school guilt I have started reacquainting myself with the TV again. I love Nip/Tuck, Queer Eye, The Ellen Show, CSI, everything on ETC and… okay, so I was never a fan of reality TV shows, much more of talent searches. But this one I just instantly got hooked into because it reunites me with old school rock. Yes, I am loving Rockstar: Supernova now (http://www.rockstar.msn.com/) and I already have a favorite – she looks scary, she’s amazing onstage, she’s got character, she did a fab cover of one of my favorite Nirvana songs (Lithium) and style and the Supernova guys adore her, she’s Dilana (http://rockstar.msn.com/rockers2/dilana) !  Yay! On week 2, she rearranged a classic Johnny Cash song (Ring of Fire), I never actually imagined the song being done in another way, so I was quite surprised that Dilana’s toned down version actually sounded good. I am so looking forward to future episodes. I am not sure though if I wanted her to win. I would love for her to win but not as front woman for Supernova. I mean, with Tommy Lee there? Hello? I’m sure that guy wouldn’t use the show to look for someone to screw, and I’m certain if ever, it won’t be Dilana. Much as she looks quite fragile offstage, she doesn’t look like someone Tommy would want to mess with.  Anyway, aside from her, my two other bets are Storm (who looks a lot like Ginger Spice!) and Patrice  

- I have two new books! Both by Jonathan Lethem. Both are anthologies. One is called The Disappointment Artist“ and the other is the one I’ve been wanting to have since I read about it in Fudge magazine “Lit riffs”. They were sent to me by my lovely friend over there in BC, in exchange for some Filipino chick lit that I got her. I already started TDA and am enjoying it.  

- What else? Hmm, that friend I was talking about in a previous entry (Story of My Life…) finally, sort of admitted that yes, there is something going on between her and “that“ guy. But she was quick to disclose that she knows whatever they have won’t last. At least that’s what she believes. It’s kind of sad. I wish she would let go of her worries and just…love him, you know? They look good together.  

Anyway, here’s wishing everyone a happy weekend!
