theantijoss | CPAP - Respiratory Therapy or Secret Torture Device? And other ponderings.

Ugh. I ended up taking it off entirely about 4 am, because I had to get up early for an appointment, and I just COULDN'T fall asleep. The mask is still uncomfortable, I couldn't find a good position for my neck, and worst of all, I spent all day yesterday feeling like a frickin over-inflated balloon. I had to take like two doses of Gas-X to stop feeling like I'm going to pop.

I feel like shit again today, of course. The lack of sleep (or weird sleep) is really wearing on my already shaky sense of well-being.

I just turned away for a minute to address some cat disaster, and I completely forgot where I was going with this TMI.

I'm actually looking forward to Vampire Diaries in the fall. And just for anyone who's not aware: THIS SERIES OF BOOKS CAME OUT LONG BEFORE TWILIGHT. I can already hear the whining about VampD being a "rip off". Also, Elana is not NEARLY the useless whinebag that Bella Swan is, and the creepy brother is SUPPOSED to be creepy, unlike Edward Cullen.

Yes, I am biased, as a matter of fact. Thanks for noticing! I'm going to have to give the first few episodes a try and catch Bones online, I think. I'll see how I feel when it happens. It would be fun to have a Thursday night CW lineup again.

I just got a Robocall from the National Organization for ~~Bigotry~~ Marriage, and I actually TOOK the stupid survey just to make sure someone who thinks they're batshit actually made their dissenting opinion clear. Of course, after it asked me, "Do you believe blah blah we hate gay people and you'll go to hell if you don't marriage between one man and one woman ONLY?" And I said, very loudly, very clearly, "NO." It said, "Thank you for your time," and hung up.

Hm. Methinks they weren't interested in my opinion. I'm just glad I answered the phone and not my folks. They're both of the "Civil Unions Yes Marriage No" crowd. Which I vehemently disagree with, but considering they're both not nearly as gay-positive as I, is a fairly good thing.

Trying to get gay marriage rights in New York State is going to be a long, possibly futile haul. For all that we have NYC and several other large gay enclaves and are a SCREAMING blue state, there are also places like HERE where I live, where there is ONE gay bar, and it constantly gets its windows broken out. (And yet we once had a gay mayor. Weird. Of course, he turned out to be corrupt, but... that's neither here nor there, just indicative of the bizarness that is the EXTREME up of Upstate New York.)

We'll see. I only wish the NOBM had been a live person, so I could demand they send me my Ghey Repellent Umbrella to make sure I wouldn't get any of that nasty Ghey on me during the GREAT GHEY STORM that's a comin'!

BLEACH DOESN'T GET THAT OUT, YOU KNOW. But the Tide stick might.

Been watching Generation Kill. What I've learned: War is stupid (which I already knew) and Alexander Skarsgard is hot (which I also already knew.)

In conclusion: Adam.
