bronchitis. it sucks. i totally thought i had strep throat. i can handle that, i can't spell it, but i can deal with it. but johnny was right, bronchitis it is. and as if johnny being right wasn't enough to piss me off, i can't breathe, i can't sleep cause i can't breathe, and quite frankly, consumption is sounding like a pretty great alternative right now. i just need to get a handkerchief to store in my lace-trimmed sleeves. so, actually, i need a handkerchief and lace-trimmed sleeves. i'm on it.

i'm sorry to do so much whining, but from what i hear, i missed out on what seems like it was an awesome weekend. good thing i didn't go to j&a's on friday. nothing says "we won't be inviting you back" like coating a place in germs. and i missed out on superfuntechnonight. btw, h, he wants to sleep with you.

but something good did come out of all of this! i've watched 17 episodes of the "x-files" in the last 3 days. and i've loved every minute of it. i still can't watch "squeeze" though because the thought of a man that can fit through my heating vents just makes me want to cry. in fact, when i was 13 and saw the episode for the first time i was home alone (well, maddie was there, but she was 3 and asleep so she was no help) and then the heat came on and it was clunking and i nearly had a stroke so i called my parents and made them come home and now, 13 years later i still can't watch it but the other episodes are great. oh scully and mulder, it'll be so much fun watching you fall in love and ignore it and then eventually jump the shark. and it's also funny how big cell phones were back then. dude - they look like bricks with hot dogs on the end!

so, in the end, let this be a lesson to you - if you're at a friend's house for a major sporting event that you know nothing about but they have an awesome dvd collection pillage it for all they're worth - you never know when you might be stuck on a couch for an extended weekend.
