This Day is Made of Suckage...

Yesterday was pretty much the worst a day could have been short of Hiroshima. Exaggeration? Yes. But painful, nonetheless.

On my way to taking Sophie to get fixed-- something I've felt somewhat morally opposed to, despite all the self-righteous shouts of fix your dog or you're going to HELL that I've been hearing from every corner of the globe-- my car died. At a stoplight. Just as the light turned green and several cars pulled up behind me. Awesome. We were late to the appointment, by the way.

My car apparently has a million things wrong with it just in time for my grad classes to start. In other words, when I need it in order to bounce between two different schools and work during the week.

Worst of all, I was at work when a migraine chose to rise from the depths of my shrinking capillaries. I was blinded by an altogether new kind of "floater" in my vision. Instead of the usual fuzzy white spots in my vision giving me that courtesy twenty minute warning to get my ass to a bathroom in case it's time to throw up and before I lose the power of coherent speech-- the new floater more resembles what I imagine having kaleidoscopes for eyes would be like. Over ten years into the game, and my migraines decide to change the game now?

So, now I'm in the migraine next-day hangover phase. And I haven't had a full night's sleep in a week. If somebody doesn't hand me a cookie soon, I might snap.



In Heroes news, I'm still not sure if I'm going to be continuing to write the weekly meta. I caught the second half of the premiere, and I was so ridiculously bored I had to fight the impulse not to re-watch episodes of Glee instead. I really think my investment in this show is as dead as Nathan Petrelli's corpse. My love for the show has always been based on a love for the Petrelli brothers, so what am I supposed to cling to now? Matt Parkman? Ando? The excellent, coherent, continuity-respecting writing? HA-- just kidding! I wish. But I love [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and my fannish friends, so we'll see.

In other news, Glee is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Makes me happy times a thousand.

Yaaaaaay Glee! It's sad about Heroes but understandable, I shall still be watching for I am one of the meta editors and I too love reading what people have to say :D

No matter what, I will continue reading [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] because it is made of win. :)

I actually liked the Heroes premier.

Kinda dull, but it wasn't offensive at least. And Samuel is pretty cool.

In good news, I like Glee too, so if you do meta on that then I'll still have something to read from you! :D

I was offended by a few things, but nowhere near as many as they clocked in last season! Better than nothing, I suppose.

Cookies!!! Many cookies. :) Hope your car gets fixed. Maybe it's a sign that you're fixing the wrong thing(your dog instead of your car).

Aw, thanks!

And I agree! Car over dog.

Migraine auras are lame as hell. I get them with nausea, but no headaches so far. Except once, but it wasn't the headache that was bad so much as the nausea.

So I don't really feel your pain, but empathize greatly.

Also the most frustrating thing ever is care trouble. It can ruin your whole day. =(

Ouch. Sorry about the aura nausea. Sounds like a bitch.

I hate migraines - I get them way too often, so I definitely sympathize. And being stuck in a dead car in traffic with a scared pet? Not fun. I hope your weekend is better and whatever made the car conk out is not bank account killing. I hand you a big pile of warm, freshly baked internet cookies.

A fellow migraine sufferer! I accept your internet cookies and return the favor! :)
