oh man, i'm really sick. i have a terrible cold and it's draining me. the knickers was nagging at me this afternoon to buy some coldfx, but it's too expensive. she said "it doesn't matter, when you have a problem just throw money at it". SEE!?!? that's why i hate her advise, it's so contrary to my perspective on life. besides, this is coming from a woman who makes 3 times more than me AND has her husband's pension. thankfully i didn't have time to go to the drug store, so tomorrow i have a legitimate excuse.

tonight my family gathered to celebrate joelle's 6th birthday. it was fun. we ended up having this lengthy conversation about michael jackson where i found out that he wore a wig because of that fire that burned off all his hair in the 80s, and we discussed the possibility that he was castrated before he hit puberty – which would explain why his voice never changed and why he didn't father his own children. my mom's housemate doesn't believe he's dead. she thinks he's just in hiding. conspircy theories are weird. i remember watching a documentary on the lunar landing hoax, it almost had me convinced for a while. sometimes i get annoyed by people who are so skeptical of everything. sometimes things really are what they seem.

anyways, afterwards i brought joelle and caleb to my house to see my kitties and we played at the park across the street from my house. they're both very sweet. i liked having them in the car with me, caleb was quite the little talker, which was nice because he's sometimes really hard to get a word out of.

i'm really pooped. so i'm going to get into bed now.

when i go south again,
he'll be waiting at your door.
