i woke up about twenty minutes ago feeling really sick. it's strange to be ill again after such a long stint over wellness. i was just commending my health a few days ago since i've been basically ailment-free since my kidney infection this winter. meh, hopefully it's just a touch of the flu.

errol took me to see must love dogs--he has a thing for john cusack. :) we had a good time, and the movie was funny in a lot of parts, but we decided that it wasn't very plot-driven. it fit more in the "we should rent that sometime" category. we saw a lot of previews that looked good though. hello, holiday season. will be here soon!

after the drama with my college best friend this summer, i've concluded that for the most part (ian excluded), old friends really are the best friends. katie kerr, who i went to preschool with, is doing me a huge favor and picking up errol, chris, and me at the omaha airport at 11.40 thursday night, and she's letting all of us stay in her apartment too. isn't that incredibly sweet? i only get to see her twice a year, and she shows me unbelievable kindness.

making this post in the middle of the night reminds me of horrible desk shifts that would screw up my circadian rhythm, leaving me nothing to do but make random blog postings instead of getting much-needed sleep. man, am i glad it's not then. the desk pays less than j.crew. hanna, i really hope you haven't decided to take any night shifts next year. they're deadly.
