STILL SICK!! My throat hurts again today and
I don't feeeeeeel good. And I'm coughy. Blech. I have to get
better by Wednesday so I'm alright for New Orleans!! Today
was an okay day at work. I went in a tanning bed for the first
time in my life. I always said I would never try one, but Summer
had a few extra sessions and she offered two of them to me
for free! So I tried it, and it wasn't bad! It was pretty relaxing!
I would never actually buy tanning sessions, I'd feel too guilty,
but I can justify these two because they're free, and in preparation
for my vacation! This way, hopefully I won't burn the second
I start running around in the hot Louisiana sun. So I had that
appointment today, and I have another on Monday, and then that's
it for tanning beds for me!! I must say, I enjoyed it, though!
So after work I didn't do much, I didn't feel so good. Jenny
Wray was coming tonight, so I was all prepared to go out even
though I knew I shouldn't. Well she just showed up at about
10:15, and I actually decided NOT to go out. I'm very proud
of myself. It sucks that I don't get to hang out with her since
she's only here for one night, but I have GOT to get better
and that would've been extremeley counterproductive. Hey, she's
crashing here - I'll see her in the morning!
I watched The
Little Princess tonight. Every bit as good as I remembered
it. It came with two extra "shorts" on the DVD - "Dora's
Dunkin' Donuts," and "Kid Goes to Africa." The
Africa one was REALLY weird. It was Shirley Temple, in the
African Jungle, by herself. She was hanging out with a circle
of little African children (there were no adults in this movie),
when they suddenly start screaming "CANNIBALS!" and
a group of slightly larger African children jump out from behind
bushes and trees. These children have war paint on their faces.
They sneak up behind the non-cannibal kids, and begin pouring
salt on their heads, as if they're food!!! It's so weird! Then
they chase everyone around, and eventually it cuts to a scene
with Shirley Temple in a big pot of water, and the cannibal
kids are cooking her. They keep sampling the water with a ladle
to see if the stew is "done." Shirley is just sitting
there yelling "HELP! HELP!" the whole time. Then
suddenly a little boy in a cheetah skin appears in a tree.
He yells a couple of times (in a man's deep voice, which is
pretty funny), and eventually comes and saves her. She's really
happy. Then cut to a scene of them in normal clothes and he
says he wants to go golfing this afternoon, and she says "absolutely
not. you're going home and doing the dishes." THE END!!
It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo weird. It didn't
make too much sense. It was funny though. Oh, at one point
the leader of the cannibal group picks up his coconut shell
phone and calls the leader of another group and invites him
to the feast, and the second leader goes, "If there's
one thing I like, It's missionary stew!" I thought that
was funny.
So, um I need to get some sleep for once. I'm going to go
try and do that now.
