SHORT/cuts

- Was sick for a few days, but better now. A slight annoyance as opposed to full blown pain in my upper throat and around my tonsils. This is not a new development; I get it every year. Every year I go to a doctor and am told "it's not strep." A lot of water, tea, lozenges, and awful menthol throat spray, and I feel almost to normal.

- Went to the Connexions drag show yesterday. It was a fun show; I was surprised they reprised a few numbers from last year, but they were fine. A couple of the songs were way too long, but the concepts were for the most part pretty incredible. Made me want to appropriate a few ideas for our preshows, although nothing directly.

- I haven't watched any of Veronica Mars, Desperate Housewives, or Grey's Anatomy this year, although most of those series have run at least 3 episodes already. It just didn't work out, taping them. Genevieve and I are watching season 2 of Housewives on DVD during our lunch hour, meaning we get about 3-4 episodes a week. Next up is probably Grey's Anatomy, and that won't be til deep into fall. Meaning it's distinctly probable I won't be seeing any of these shows' third seasons until after they've aired and are released on DVD, next fall. Ah, well. Unless I really manage to take advantage of the repeats and actually keep them on a tape and not fuck it up, I probably won't. I just hope I don't screw up the first 6 weeks of Lost, because Matt and I don't intend on waiting much longer than after those premiere and the show goes on hiatus til February.

- Sleepy. Think I am going to shower and get to bed early. Matthew worked without sleep and has already gone to bed to make up for only a few hours he's lost (he's getting back up at 4 a.m.). I think I'll catch some body heat time.
