usmcsis's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- best novel of the century last night my mom told me to get lots of rest so that i would hopefully feel good enough to go to the movies this weekend. so i asked her what she wanted to see and she said national treasure. which kind of surprised me but then again it didn't in a weird way. anyway, so i've been wanting to see this movie since i first heard of it. i mean, come on, it stars nick cage. he is only one of the sexiest men ever. i don't know why. and yes, i did see him in peggy sue got married. and yes, i know he is going bald. but he is still hot. he is, by the way, number one on my list of famous men i would scrump if i had the chance. anyway, so today i feel a hell of a lot better than i did yesterday. i still feel pretty much like shit but, i have a feeling i'm going to feel that way for a while. i'm also going a little bit stir crazy and i want out of the friggin house. so i checked out the movie times and such online and told mama that the next showing was at four-ten. let me hop in the shower and get dressed and i'd be ready to go in plenty of time. to which she replied that i looked awful. i explained that this was probably because i have not bathed since wednesday. she laughed and said no, other than that. and, well, i do kind of look like shit. i'm pale as a sheet. and i have these big purple circles around my eyes. and my lips are chapped and cracked. but these are not things that are going to magically heal by tomorrow. i feel as good today as i am likely to feel for a couple of days. if she wants to see the damn movie we need to go today. alas, she said she is taking a nap, i should do the same, and if i still feel like going when we wake up, maybe we can go later. *pshaw* at the moment, i am working up the energy to get in the shower. i will probably have to rest before that and i know i will need to reast after it. eventually, it is my plan to shower, brush my teeth, comb my hair, get dressed in something other than pajama's, and get the hell out of my house for at least one hour. even if i just go to grandma's and check the mail. which i totally need to do because i haven't been over there since wednesday. ironically, the last day i bathed. ha. so, yeah, i really need a shower. but it is going to hurt. my skin is extremely sensitive for some reason when i'm sick and the water hitting my body actually hurts. i'm such a wimp. today, on my page-a-day desk calendar it states: best novel of the century. yes, the librarians of the united states voted to kill a mockingbird best novel of the century. and we think they were right on the money. it's a brilliant novel, made richer by it's dead-on dialogue, and the trial that teaches the kids an invaluable lesson about moral courage is unforgettable. to kill a mockingbird by harper lee is my favorite novel of all time. perhaps this is a good omen for 2005. we shall see. i know one thing though, i'm going to have to re-read it as soon as possible. it's been a little over a year since i read it last. if you've never read it, shame on you. toodles 1:25 pm - 01 Jan 2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
