something strange and unexpected is happening. at 5:32 i turned on soapnet to catch the second half of an episode of 90210. it's currently 5:34 and i haven't been able to identify the exact episode yet. i mean...we're in the collin era which puts us in season 6 (right?) and claire and steve are dating. and brandon is with susan...at susan's parents house. they just got in trouble for being caught in bed together. it's slowly coming back to me...sort of. does anything really happen in this episode? i haven't seen donna or kelly yet...maybe that will help with story line. i'll keep you posted.
i've had a pretty fucked up day...which is now only highlighted by my inability to quickly recall 90210 story lines from 10+ years ago on a moments notice (it's one of my truest talents). i went in for my mri this morning. initially ABN was going to come with me, but last night his week officially got interesting and i decided it was best for him to have the entire day to take care of things on his list. so i drove myself and apart from needing to pee a number of times due to pre-mri coffee consumption, i was fine. i take off my jewels (all three rings) and lie down with my noise cancelling headset (um...not so much) ready to listen to a little Tom Ashbrook. the machine starts up and i start to feel a little tingly. the next thing i know the attendant man is standing next to me helping me sit up and telling me to put my head between my legs. i'm a huge sweat ball, my limbs are shaking and i can't see much other than stars and other space-age images. i'm dizzy and i feel like i might puke. but the attendant assures me that if i'm going to faint this is the best place to do it (i'm in hospital after all) and we go back to the mri.
this isn't the first time this has happened. once i was on the T (it was SUPER embarrassing and involved an ambulance and being asked if there was ANY chance i could be pregnant one too many times for my own sanity) and once it happened on an airplane to LA (today my theory of being triggered by transporting from one place to another having something to do with it was totally blown).
OH! let me interject with a 90210-update...kelly is in rehab with her roommate tara....and donna is dating joe whose brother is in town and they are arguing over joe's upcoming experimental heart surgery and kelly's doc thinks she's pretty cute and tara starts to become the sketchiest sketch EVER......oh i feel so much better already. these are the really important things after all.
needless to say i came home after the mri...i've spent the afternoon watching tv and trying to figure out if this is something i should be more worried about. i did make an appointment with my primary care doctor...it's been awhile and now that it's happened three times i feel like i have real info to tell her. for now...i'll just let dr. house take care of me (the season finale made me cry...robert sean leonard has always had that power over me).
ABN just went out to cvs and brought me a diet coke...what a good husband. he also said he'd make turkey sandwiches for dinner tonight...i'll keep him. and for those who are interested, i'm still without my new flat iron which i assume is lost somewhere in cyberspace...mragh.
oops...and for those of you keeping score...collin is now in a high speed chase with the LAPD. i can't wait for the new class :)
