The One With The Flu, Nick, and Jessica

For the past week, I had been careful to avoid my dad's nasty bout of influenza by carefully disinfecting offending faucets, refrigerator handles, etc with rubbing alcohol. I've been spraying Lysol into the bathroom at regular intervals and was actually going to purchase something similar to a surgeon's mask or what those Chinese people donned during the SARS outbreak. Uhh ... yeah. None of that worked. I've got the flu. And it couldn't have come at a worse possible time, when it's bloody freaking hot out! This is just great. I can battle this nasty virus AND die of heatstroke at the same time. Huzzah!

Well, good news is I can catch up on loads of tv, and I have. I haven't picked up the remote control in months and was in awe of what I was missing.. namely the Nick and Jessica show on MTV. Previously, I detested every single thing on MTV (except for Punked, that Ashton Kutcher guy .. yaya um yeah YUM) but this show is good. Correction, it's train-wreck good (there is a difference). I love shows which prove that blonde pop stars are complete idiots. Whee! Chicken of the Sea .. LOL!!!

The One Where It's Freeking Hot

Good lord it's hot. It's so hot, I feel like taking another shower even though I took one 2 hours ago. It's so hot, my room feels like an oven. It's so hot, there's a stream of sweat flowing from my bed to the bathroom. It's so hot, I feel trapped in a bottle of that spicy chili stuff they serve at chinese restaurants. It's so hot, I burn my tongue every time I open my mouth. It's so hot that I actually can say I know how a jalapeno feels. It's so hot, that the devil is thinking of moving up here. It's so hot that all my broiled, desiccant brain can do is upchuck stupid one-liners depicting HOW HOT IT IS HERE.

It's so hot, it's hotter than Prince William. There. I said it. Now do you believe me?

The One With Jack Tripper

'Three's Company' Star John Ritter Dies

My heart did a kind of sinking when I read that headline this morning. It's strange, you've never met the man, but he becomes a part of your life.

The One Where It's Summer In San Francisco

It's September, which means us San Francisco folk get to enjoy a radiant Nor-Cal summer for 9 whole days! Furthermore, lucky students of quarter-system universities (like moi) get to enjoy a brief 3 week bout of unabashed lethargy during this time. What have I done so far?

- visiting GORGEOUS model homes with bathrooms bigger than my whole house :-o

- playing "girl eye for the fashionable challenged guy." If you can't afford to buy yourself clothes, the next best thing is picking out clothes for others! HAHA

- learning how to cook. It's been surprisingly fun. I actually cooked bibingkang malagkit (coconut rice cake topped with buttery brown sugar syrup). OH IT IS SO GOOD! I surprise myself sometimes.

The One Where It's My Parent's Anniversary

I was conceived 25 years ago today. The fact that I know that is disturbing. What's even sicker is that I know what city and hotel this took place at. Ugh, gross. Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary, Mom & Dad! In completely unrelated news, photo fragments (no, you can't click them!) from a recent rendezvous in Carmel:

The One Where My Tolerance Goes Up

Speaking of alcohol, I have a complaint. Why was I able to down 2 kamikazes, a "purple hooter" and a shot of Hennesy and merely be buzzed and not completely wasted? Why is that? That's over 25 dollars worth of liquor, and it used to take about 7 (2 beers) to get my 110-pound ass good! Poo.

The One With The Asteroids and Earthquakes

There was another freaking earthquake today. I was sitting in my room when it hit, and I actually threw my laptop down and ran out to the hallway. To do what, I don't know. All I know is I was shaking for a good 30 minutes after it hit. If there is one thing I'm scared of more than anything else in this world, it's an earthquake. I think if I was ever at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I came across a stray boggart in a wardrobe or something, the floor would start shaking uncontrollably.*

* this would only make sense you've read Harry Potter.

In other scary ass news, an asteroid might hit earth in 2014. March 21, 2014, to be exact. Yep, yep, this asteroid is said to "have the effect of 20 million Hiroshima atomic bombs" on impact. Bad news is, everyone would die. Good news is, I probably don't have to finish school or get a job! Would a college degree and a six figure salary be important by 2012? I think not! In fact, I think the most important thing would be lots and lots of alcohol. Who wouldn't want to be completely wasted/passed out at the sight of a giant rock falling down on top of them from the sky? Oh no, and by 2012, our supply of liquor will have diminished due to everyone wanting to be wasted. Time to quit school, stock up on the vodka and learn to become an alcoholic - right now!

Ah, leave it up to me to see the brighter side of things :)

The One Where I Should Be Studying For Finals

I think it's just me, but when I stare at my backpack long enough, when its pouch is open and all, it looks like it's talking to me. "Study for finals, Nancy or else you'll fail!"

That being said, I'm stressed, sleep-deprived, hallucinatory, and I hate school.
