Final entry of 2005
Unless something major happens, this will probably be the last entry for 2005. Kind of a bummer of a year, though not as bad as 2001-2002 I guess. My stomach is still fucked up from whatever happened to it back in June. Doctors still think food poisioning, but this sure is a long time to be recovering from food poisioning. I haven't eaten regularlly since the summer. On the plus side, I have lost a lot of weight this year that I need to. I guess not eating much will do that. Only downside is that I really have to go shopping for new clothes soon. Everything's too big now and my pants barely stay up even with my belt on the innermost loop. My jacket almost looks like a tent on me now. Still, a good problem to have I suppose.
In a bit over a week I'll finally get to leave the hell that is Texas and go back home for a couple of weeks. Nebraska will be cold, but at least I can relax for a while and do nothing but veg out and watch movies. Time to catch up on my reading as well. I have a bad habit of starting a book, then getting distracted by another one and starting it as well, then distracted again by yet another. So I have a lot of books I've started that I need to finish reading.
It's been kind of chilly here in Dallas lately. I hate the cold weather! One of the reasons I moved here was to get in a warmer climate. Anything below 55 F is too cold. Last week we actually had an ice storm. Back up north that's no big deal, but here in Texas they treat a little ice like a major disaster. Considering that Dallas drivers aren't the greatest to start with, put them on ice and it almost is a major disaster. When there's snow or ice out, it's best to just not go out, less you get run into by some idiot driving 80 miles an hour on solid ice. Unfortunately I have too much work to do before I go on vacation to stay home. At least my new apartment seems to stay warmer than my old one.
So that's about it for the rest of this year. I'm sure I'll post an entry after the start of the year when I get back to recount the exciting goings on of Lincoln, Nebraska. "Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine." A shiny new nickel to the person who can identify where that quote is from. :)
