excuse me ma’m, but this little girl needs to use the computer now

July 7, 2008 Crystal im cool, short

so i think i need to get my very own laptop.

with a wireless card.

because blogging at random places sucks.

I’m currently blogging at the Byron Public Library and the countdown clock at the top of the screen is driving me crazy.

great writers should not be expected to work under these conditions.

seriously.

did Hemingway have a “12-minutes-remaining” clock flash at HIM when he wrote “for whom the bell tolls”

does Steven Colbert work with a seven year old sitting next to him playing ‘bejeweled”?

did Nora Ephron have a big “TEN MINUTES REMAINING” announcement pop up when SHE wrote “when harry met sally”?”

no. no. and NO. (at least as far as i know.)

the only reason i don’t have my very own laptop (with a wireless card) is that i don’t make any actual money in my line of work.

in conclusion: if you’d like to give to the “help-crystal-get-a-laptop-so-she-can-blog-more” fund, just e-mail me at the information listed on the contact page of this site, and i’ll be sure to dedicate an upcoming post to you in honor of your donation.

i feel like crap

June 18, 2008 Crystal im cool, short

so a couple weeks ago, i was like ‘my throat hurts’ and my friends were all ‘eww, get away from me. you’re sick’

and four and a half days later i was like ‘my ear really hurts’ and my friends were all ‘oh, just blow cigarette smoke in it and it will feel better’ and i was all ‘hmm. no.’

and then finally today (Wednesday) i went to the d*mn doctor. because my ear was hurting super bad and i couldn’t really hear too much of anything that happened to the right of me. and my throat hurt so bad that i was spitting into a rag at night to avoid the pain of swallowing.

and the doctor was all ‘how long has it hurt?’ and i was like ‘since thursday.’ and he was all ‘THURSDAY!? why did’t you come in sooner?” and then i was all ‘because i hate going to the doctor.’ and he said ‘oh, don’t worry, so do i.”

and then the nice man gave me a prescription for some supa large pink pills. and told me that my ear infection was spreading into my throat so i need to make sure i take every single one.

wish me luck on getting better. and i promise to blog more when i don’t feel like crap and my hearing and swallowing abilities have been fully recovered.
