unfortunately, i'm not going on my holiday. apparently, i'm not too fond of diseases, especially those that don't have names because no one seems to know what they are. grand, isn't it? instead, i'll be labouring away at work the next two weeks. but it's okay, i wasn't looking forward to the 12-hour flight to japan to begin with.

it's good to know that when the leader of your country threatens to invade another country, that your homeland is ill-equipped to protect itself from a deadly bio-terrorist attack. good job, dubya! i feel completely safe, oh yes i do. (i hope that screamed "SAR-FUCKING-CASM" at you)

it'll cost me $150 in penalties to refund my holiday plane ticket. i guess it's better than wasting $675 for the whole lot. unfortunately, i had to drive to work (21 miles) and then drive back home (21 miles), then drive to my travel agent's office (3 miles) and back home (3 miles) to turn in my ticket by 2pm today. what a complete waste of gas? i just blew $3.00 on it today, and "it" was hardly satisfying.

but, the redeeming point of the day was when i received the dvds i'd sent for in the post. i finally got coupling, a bbc sitcom, somewhat like friends meet sex in the city. pretty funny show, and sarah alexander is quite the looker. gotta love the british for their wonderful shows.
