Cats and friends and seatbelts. We're going to cover a lot today.

Hello friends! Or acquaintances... (I guess I don't know you all too well.) Oh what the hell, let's just be amigos! We'll see where this crazy friend-SHIP takes us! Gosh, I hope we don't hit an ICEBERG. AHAHAHAhahahahahaaaa I am just sooo funny...

Moving. On.

I am very happy and very sad. Want to know why? First off, I'm very happy because I have a bunch of friends all visiting right now from various places out of town, which makes me all smiley. (Polethene Pam, Miss Mixie, the glorious sister of Miss Mixie) :) I am sad, because one of these aforementioned friends (Miss Mixie) is terribly ill with suspected food poisoning... :( I feel so sad that she's all sick and icky feeling while she's supposed to be enjoying her vacation!! You know in the Peter Pan movie when tinker bell gets poisoned and everybody claps really hard at the same time and thus render her healthy and glowing again (still don't understand the science behind that btdubs)? Well I figure our dear Miss Mixie is quite an awful lot like a sparkly, flying fairy thingy herself, so perhaps if we all clap really hard, she might just get better? So clap, my minions, CLAP YOUR HANDS!! This is totally going to work.

Now that I've shared with you my ingenious plan to restore Miss Mixie to perfect health, I'm going to share some stuff with you! First off, an adorable cat picture. Because I am a very original blogger who posts very original material. I mean, please, name one other blogger who posts cute cat photos! I dare you. Bet you $5 you won't find one. Oh. Oh, really? You found one? Well I guess I owe you $5...... What a surprise.

Anyways, here's the photo:

Heehee. I took this pic of a cut out magazine picture that was hanging on the wall in this really cool barbershop. Miss Mixie's sister got her hair dyed today (AHH!!! :D) and I was chillin' out with her while she got it done. We got it done at the "original rock & roll barbershop" which is this super cool place only a few blocks from my house. It has magazine clippings and stickers and stuff literally plastering the walls and it's super cool. So yeah. That's the explanation behind my discovery of this adorableness.

The next thing I wanted to share with you is the purchase I made earlier this same day. It. Is. Spectacular. I probably haven't mentioned this before, but lately I have sorely needed a fun, casual belt. I probably have mentioned my love of dinosaurs. Yes, now that I think of it, yes I have. Well today... I found the greatest belt in the whole wide world. Or at least a pretty cool one. 

Feast your eyes upon it's glory:

Since you can sort of see it, do you like my shirt? :) My brother gave it to me for Christmas. <3

IT'S A SEAT BELT. COVERED IN DINOSAURS. IN PRIMARY COLORS! <3 I just love it so much! And it's super adjustable and comfy and awesome. While it holds up my pants quite well, it really knocks of my socks if you know what I mean...

Now it's super late, so I best be going. I've got SO MUCH to do and break is fast coming to a close, so it's best that I get my sleep. Don't forget to clap for my poor, sick Mixie! Pozegnanie!

Calypso's guide to curing the sneezles.

The following is my guide to feeling better when you're sick in that really urksome way where you feel like crap but there's nothing seriously wrong with you (or, as I call it, when you're sick with the sneezles :P):

1. If you're up to it, take a bath. Or a shower. People tend to ignore their personal hygiene when they're sick. I totally get this and sometimes I do it too cause I just hate the idea of dragging myself out of bed... But if you can, I would seriously recommend cleaning yourself. It makes you feel sooo much better! Being sick sucks by itself, but being sick AND stanky?? Horrible!
2. Put on your favorite, most comfortable PJs! Now that you're all squeaky clean, it's time to get this party started! Fuzzy socks are good too btw. :) Sorry, I'm just a big believer in the power of socks. With a good pair of socks, I feel that you can accomplish anything. I mean.. think about it. Abraham Lincoln was wearing socks when he abolished slavery. And Einstein? He wore socks almost every day of his life, and probably when he came up with the theory of relativity! Rosa Parks? You know she was totally wearing socks on that bus. Michael Jackson? Wore socks every time he danced. ALL GREAT MEN AND WOMEN WEAR SOCKS. They all breathe too. Shut UP, italic me...
3. Now since you're sick, you really don't want to infect all your friends and family, and you're probably not up for entertaining people anyways, but that doesn't mean you have to spend the whole day all by yourself!!! That's what we have cats for! And stuffed animals! And don't be such a drama queen, this isn't the Velveteen Rabbit. You don't have to burn all the toys you touched while you were sick... I mean seriously, what the hell was that doctor thinking? Hasn't he ever heard of a washing machine?? Ummm Calypso, they didn't have washing machines. And the kid was sick with scarlet fever, not the "sneezles". It's kind of different. Ahhhh go away, italic me. Anyways, after you've gathered all your plushy bff's or whatever your equivalent is, it's time to...
4. ...pick a location to totally take over!! You either want a room with a TV and a super comfy couch/bed, or your own bedroom, with access to a laptop or television as well. TV is, for me at least, the greatest thing ever when you're sick. I wouldn't survive my sneezles without it. If you want to check out some of my fav TV shows, check out this post. When I'm sick, I like to watch: the early seasons of "The Office" and "Grey's Anatomy", "House", "30 Rock", "Psych" and "Frasier". I also like to veg out to movies! Likeee... "When Harry Met Sally" or "You've Got Mail" or "Sleepless in Seattle"! I don't know why, Meg Ryan just makes me feel better. :) Fun Fact: she's my dad's celebrity crush! How adorable and hilarious is that? Also, if all you have is a laptop, might I recommend Netflix Instant Streaming? Totally great and so worth the monthly payment. And very handy when you're sick! http://www.cucirca.com/ is good too if you don't have NIS but still want to watch some good TV shows.
5. While TV and movies and stuffed animals and socks are all very awesome, there's nothing like the loving care of a family to get you feeling good as new! Make sure they all know that you're horribly, and on the verge of TERMINALLY, ill. ;) That way, you know they'll take gooood care of you and bring you all the weirdly specific snacks and beverages that you demand! I have a really weird and sporadic appetite when I'm sick. I'll be hunger-strikin' it out like Gandhi for the first few days, then all of a sudden I'll start craving the weirdest foods and drinks. Luckily, I have an awesome Maman who supplies me with all my weird dietary desires and a lovely Papa who makes me all the tea I could ever need! Oh, and a beautiful brother who brings all of this stuff right to my room! ....for the low, low price of $2.99 and the promise that I won't disturb him while he watches his precious Doctor Who... :P
6. After you've done all of this, don't forget to get your vitally important beauty sleep! Really, sleep is sooo important if you want to make a full recovery. Just sleep whenever you can, whether that be 1 in the morning, or 1 in the afternoon. If you're like me though, sleeping will be very hard when you're sick... so the second best thing is rest! And TEAAA!!! With honey, for your throat. MMMmmmmmmm :) No coffee kids! Coffee is BAAAD for your sneezles. Bad! Don't you go sneaking it behind my back now... It's for your own good.

Nobody reading this is probably actually sick but it is that time of year so you might be very soon... You never knoww... So yeahhh.. If you do get the sneezles, that's my advice. :) Hope it helps! 

My poor Thanksgiving week is falling to shambles!

I have to say, this whole sick thing is getting kind of annoying. It makes it very hard to do all the things I had planned for Thanksgiving break! Urgh. I promise my posts will start getting more interesting as soon as I get better, but until then you'll just have to put up with whatever I come up with. Sorrrrry! The good news is that though the posts might not be as interesting, there will probably be a lot of them today because I'm finally done with rehearsals for the week and confined to my room to keep from getting my poor relatives sick. Soooo... yay? I dunno, just trying to find a silver lining.
Now, I will give you a hint about the project that I've started working on. It's very exciting in my opinion. :D Are you ready? Okay: lego shoes. Yeah, I know that hint sort of gave away the whole thing but I suck at giving hints, okay?? Deal with it. :P Anyways, it looks like I'm not going to get to finish or share it with ya until Friday, so hang tight--OH NO! I have to make a mix tape! I totally forgot! Blerg. Better start thinkin' about that I suppose... Well, bye for now. Wear scarves! And coats! And drink tea! And stay healthy! I'm telling ya, having the sneezles at Thanksgiving sucks.

SICK!

Yup. I'm sick. :(
At the worst time possible, since I have to do all these rehearsals for the play I'm in... Yesterday, I was at SCHOOL on a SUNDAY for 10 HOURS. And all I wanted to do was lie in bed and watch episodes of Psych and Spongebob and Grey's Anatomy and Star Trek and gahhhh...  I have to go in again today at 12 pm for 3 hours. And again tomorrow for another 3 hours...

Stupid immune system! MAN UP. You're such a wuss! If you don't start doing your job I'm gonna have to fire you and find a new immune system. And you know how tough it is finding a new job in today's economy..... So I better see some marked improvement. x(

Apparently when I talk to myself I speak in italics... But really, my white cells are such sissies! Woah SEXIST REMARK THERE, BUDDY. Buzz off, italic me.
You see how weird I get when I'm sick? My brain gets all fuzzy.
