Why don't they sell 220000mg Midol?

Started out the week feeling stressed, tired, cranky, etc. By Tuesday, I had started my period. I only menstruate 3-4 times a year so I never know when it's coming (though usually at either the full or new moon) and it tends to kick my ass. Had a day or two of light spotting then nothing. This afternoon I felt kind of crampy...sure enough it was back full force. An hour later, I passed a blood clot that was literally bigger than a golf ball. Scared the hell out of me, frankly. Last time I passed a clot that big, I was having a miscarriage. So, I'm crampy and tired, feeling like ass, and wearing black sweatpants just in case. I should probably see the doc as I haven't had a pelvic in a long, long time, but I can't really afford it. Plus I feel like I'm never away from the doctor.

The Book. It's pretty good, though I maintain that my medicated sanity really is keeping me from achieving perfection. I wish I had a lot more time, as I'm still ripping out chapters and replacing them during editing. As you know, it's taken me a long time to decide conclusively on a theme and therefore on various plot and character elements. I know where everything needs to go and be, but it's not very close to being there. I wish it wasn't coming out so soon. Plus, I still haven't heard from my new editor.

JoJo's new favorite thing in the world appears to be chinese fortune cookies wrapped in plastic. JoJo plays fetch, which is fucking weird for a cat, and aside from ponytail holders and milk cap rings, fortune cookies are his fave thing to fetch.

Was thinking of seeing Public Enemies today. Now that I know they've wasted both Johnny Depp and Christian Bale making a fucking action movie, I'm not going to bother. Methinks Michael Mann may have gone the way of John Carpenter--where there's virtually no way to tell if their latest film is going to be decent until you actually pay big money to see it.

Seeing absinthofheart tonight, possibly with mguto751975 who I haven't seen in ages. Plan is to get some nosh, play some Xbox360, and hang out. Should prove delightful. We may also check out the Hung pilot, as it's supposed to be awesome.

Okay, so back to the editing.

3-4 times a year? Eek. I'm sure I'd be popping out clots the size of a football.

Aksu played fetch when he was little. I read that it's not rare for his breed, but it took a bit of getting used to. :-)

JoJo is part abyssinian and has largely that temperament. He acts much more like a dog than a cat. Except the loyalty. He hasn't really developed that yet. ;-/

Johnny Depp was good in the movie, I believe it is worth seeing. I wouldn't call it so much an "action" movie. But our agreement on movies is always hit or miss.

Golf ball clots suck.

As we don't have a very large entertainment budget *snerk* I decided that the money would be better spent seeing Harry Potter. I'm gonna need to see that one twice because of the whole thing with holding back the IMAX print for 2 weeks.

oh no no no no i cant wait an extra 2 weeks!

Apparently it's so they can keep the ridiculous, sucky Transformers sequel 2 more weeks.
