Holy Wow!
I was looking at pictures of cats on the internet, as I often do, and came across this incredible site for Bengal Cats! Mrow!
It doesn't seem like much until you click on the photos of each cat! Then you are presented with an ACTION SHOT! Just to give you a taste...
My favorite part is how they pick up the cat, hold it up in front of some "exotic plant" like a palm leaf, and stretch it out so it looks like the cat is pouncing. Priceless.

Yesterday...
I spent nine hours in the emergency room with my grandma. She had been sick all weekend with a stomachache, so Sunday morning when she was still in bed at 7am, I knew something was wrong. So I took her to the emergency room at 7:30. For some reason, the emergency room was filled with senior citizens! There are a million stereotypes that come to mind, but out of respect for my grandma, I shall refrain. Although, it was interesting to note that - thanks to hospital gowns - I could see that, yes, grannies really do wear 'granny underwear'.
Anyway, my grandma was put on an IV drip that made her a bit loopy, so I did my best to construct a pillow for her out of her shirt and to make sure she had a sheet over her. The awesome doctors were so negligent as to let her IV run out for an hour and let her heart monitor wail an alarm of malfunction. There weren't any rooms available, so we had to hang out in emergency for said nine hours. I told the nurse that my grandma was diabetic and she needed to eat. The nurse replied, "Well, she should have eaten before she came to the emergency room!" My jaw dropped and my brain bled from her stupidity. Ok, let's say I just cut off my arm. Better head to the emergency room... But wait! I might be there for a few hours and I'm diabetic, so I'd better go get a happy meal first. Needless to say, they call it an emergency for a reason. Idiots...
I hadn't gotten any sleep the previous night, so I fashioned a bed out of the two chairs in the room and tried to sleep. It didn't work, but you can't blame me for trying. I felt worse for my grandma. She felt horrible, but was on a stretcher for so long...I was relieved when she finally got a room. I hated seeing my grandma hooked up to all these tubes and monitors...
The doctors wouldn't tell us anything that was going on, but through the occasional nurse, we learned that something was wrong with her heart and that she was being admitted to the hospital. She's still there today. I don't think its anything serious, but she's my grandma. Those who know me know that we are extremely close. I couldn't sleep last night, knowing that she wasn't in her own bed. Hopefully she will come home tomorrow.

Inter-racial dating...
Boy oh boy am I playing with fire! I was raised in a household of PC's...but tomorrow after the trial, I'm heading to the Apple store to buy a MAC NOTEBOOK! My mom will never speak to me again (she's a computer programmer, of sorts). I've done my research. I've made my decision. Yes, I'm using part of my student loan to buy it, but I consider it an investment for my future. The computer I have has been in service since 2000. It has Windows ME for christ's sake! It crashes multiple times a day, its SLOW, I can't upgrade anything - worst OS ever! Besides, I'll be entering grad school in a couple years, and I'll be leaving for Japan in a matter of months. I need a portable computer so I can work anywhere. Now I can be one of those fuckernauts who cruises Myspace while sitting in class. Or not...because my BRAIN IS SO BIG IT WON'T ALLOW IT! I kid, I kid. Anyway, this bad boy comes with a free IPOD NANO! Not only will I become a more efficient, productive, academic-in-training, but I will transform into a well-oiled machine (listening to my nano while running will keep me motivated to exercise). Also, having both laptop and nano in tow will make my 14 hour flight to the land of the rising sun MUCH more bearable.

Belated photos from 4th of July...

With a tummy full of matzo balls, I bring you some photos of my 4th of July celebration.
I think of it more as a gathering, because there were NO FIREWORKS! Fireworks are my most favorite non-living thing. I was more than disappointed...But I made up for it by eating until I almost threw up and had to sit in a recline chair because the deck chair was too sharp of an angle! haha..
The day began with Aaron and Adam playing basketball. Lisa and I didn't want to get sweaty, so we sat it out.

Why do I have to do this again?
In the beginning of May, I had to testify against a doctor for sexual misconduct. I was cross-examined for four hours and was left considerably shaken. I couldn't sleep for days, hearing the voices of the court preceedings echo in my head. I was told that I wouldn't have to testify again. But tonight I received a voicemail from the detective telling me he had a subpoena for me to appear in court next Friday. I was cross-examined for FOUR HOURS. What else could I possibly have to say? I cried the entire way home. I'm still recovering from my nervous breakdown last November. I cannot do this again. I can't. I fucking can't.

Pictures from Tastefest...
I had to snap these really fast because my friends kept leaving me in the dust! Plus, I couldn't get that many, because I forgot that Detroiters are just really pissy people.



I got my samosas and my british cider, but the samosas had no curry and the cider was watered down!



And last, but not least, a bike for Jaclyn:
