bubbles83Man, having a crappy internet connection at home sucks. This is going to be long so I'm putting it behind an LJ cut.
So I'm going to start slightly before Thanksgiving to give you all the full effect of the weekend.
On Tuesday morning I got up and had a slightly stuffed up nose, and I freaked because no one wants to be sick over a four day weekend, but it cleared up and I figured it wasn't much of anything. On Wednesday I started my period. That sucked the big one. I mean, yeah, it's not a big deal. I'm used to it, but it's a pain to have to deal with. Literally. I get horrible cramps. So I went home that night on the bus, my uterus cramping the whole way. I did get home in time for CSI on Spike though, and a Lady Heather episode was on, so Greg and Nick fetish talk makes cramping not as sucky.
Thursday was crazy. We had Thanksgiving at my house again this year and when I got up at 9:30 my mom had already cooked two hams and a turkey. By 3:30 we had 22 people at my house. It was crowded. I felt claustrophobic most of the night, but it was fun. I love my family, they are a crazy bunch. My uncle spilled red wine all over the table, but the table cloth was plastic so no harm done. We all watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles together. I always think I hate that movie, but once I start watching it I get pulled in. Like most Steve Martin movies actually.
On Friday I woke up and I couldn't breath because my nose was stuffed up, and my throat hurt so bad I could barely swallow water. It sucked the big one. I was supposed to hang out with Mary, but I couldn't do it, I felt too crappy. So I lounged around all day trying to breath and playing Buffy on X-Box. I don't know if you guys know this, but shedding your uterine lining and being on mucus overload makes you slightly emotional. I got very frustrated with my entire family for not realizing that I was on my death bed and all I wanted to do was play Buffy in peace without everyone trying to help me. I snapped at everyone, it was completely uncalled for. I'm horrible when I'm sick. I don't know why people put up with me.
Saturday and Sunday were spent laying around, I got to watch Thursday's CSI on Saturday and being emotional is NOT a good way to watch that episode
So, I watched CSI. Umm. Yeah. The writers of this show are so fucking stupid. I don't need you to create drama by adding new characters and splitting up the ones you've got. You were doing just fine to begin with. Well, Ok, I could use some more shared screen time for Nick and Greg, and basically leaving one person out for an entire episode sucks, but this isn't going to make things better. This had better not be permanent. If it is, I will kill you. Sofia? Sucks! She gained some points by proving not to be Ecklie's puppet, but I still don't like you. CSI doesn't need fresh blood, they just need to use what they have in a good way. They have a great main cast plus the most awesome tertiary characters of any show on TV. Jacqui, Bobby, ARCHIE? Hello. These people are so cool. Use them! Will someone who knows about these things please tell me if this is permanent. Not that any people on my flist really obsess over CSI like me... Well, maybe one or two, but that's another story. And god, don't get me started on my hatred of Ecklie and his holier than thou attitude. He is the douchiest douche who ever douched. I despise him with the fiery passion of a thousand STDs. Although, I did like that we got Cath and Warrick backstories, dating wise, and they left Nick out of that. I mean I could always find a way to work with it, but they just made my shipping job that much easier. Ugh. This paragraph isn't even coherent, but I just can't bring myself to go through and fix it because that's how frustrated I am with this show...
Note: I started this entry at 7:00 and am just now finishing it. Want to know why? I'm telling you anyway. I got a call from my mom telling me there was an "emergency." Apparently, my sister put too much detergent in her laundry and it was making a HUGE mess. There was soap everywhere. I had to go over there and help her clean it up and sort everything out. I called her and she was having a panic attack, so I told her to meet me outside to let me in when I got there. She was crying and freaking out. When I got there I saw it wasn't even that bad. Her laundry was WAY too soapy, so I took it out of the laundry and put it in a new washing machine and ran it without any soap. Yes, some of the soap got on the ground and we had to clean that, but it wasn't anything like what I was expecting. That was my adventure of the night.
