Back to the Doctor's Office

I went to see the doctor again. He said that the blood and urine tests came out fine. My glucose levels are a little high and my cholesterol level is a tad high. Otherwise, I'm okay. My poo samples were screwed up so I have to drop off my poo at the doctor's again.

I asked him, "Why am I going to the bathroom so much?"

The doctor thinks it's because I have anxiety.

But, I wake up in the middle of the night to pee. I'm not anxious when I'm sleeping. Or is it because I'm generally anxious all the time?

My symptoms have gotten worse over the last year or so. Maybe when my troubles that are stressing me out go away, I'll be in better health.

I must have gotten the flu yesterday after I got food poisoning. I've got the chills, sweats, and fever. I feel terrible.

DAVIDy KIMet's A Series of Unfortunate Events

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain was pouring cats and dogs. The wind was howling loudly. I couldn't sleep all night because of food poisoning.

I ate some cereal yesterday after work. I put some golden raisins in there. I was on the computer while I was eating and I didn't look at what went in my mouth. After a bite, I tasted some nastiness. It tasted like a really bad burnt rotten raisin. I also took a whole bunch of vitamins afterwards. I'm not sure what caused the food poisoning, but I was sick all night. I'm still sick now. All the toxins seemed to be spewing out of every orifice I have. I had diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, chills, cold sweats, hot sweats, and general overall pain.

I was puking and crapping all night. I was so tired, but the pain prevented me from falling asleep. Plus, as I've mentioned before, I have to keep going pee and poo for some reason. That kept me up too. I'm going to see a doctor today for those yucky symptoms. I'm a walking zombie these days.

I went to work today, even though I'm feeling worse than last Thursday. As you know, I've puked my guts out at the office party too because of too many drinks.

My right wrist is acting up again. It's hurting so bad without me even moving it. My right leg and hip is still scarred up and scabby. They're getting really itchy.

Then, my Honda Accord started acting strangely too. It's making this rattling noise from somewhere in the engine bay. Dang! I thought Hondas are the best cars. This Accord is really letting me down. I used to drive my Mustang really hard and she took all the punishment I gave her without any problems until at least 100K miles. I hope the Honda gets fixed under warranty. It seems like everything is a money pit these days. No matter how much we struggle to save, there's always something that's draining away our money.

I'm still nauseated as I'm typing this. I had to puke a lot several times at work. I was making loud horrible regurgitating noises. They echoed throughout the halls. Fortunately, no one came in to the bathroom as I was blowing out all my chunks. That would have been embarrassing.

I don't know what's wrong with me. It seems like everything is going downhill for me. Not in a fun skateboarding way, but downhill in terms of everything's falling apart in my life.

These health issues combined still don't bother me as much as the serious crap I'm going through right now. I might tell you later if everything works out. Right now, don't ask me what's really bothering me, or I might bite your head off. I'm still in an extremely bad mood over my serious nonhealth-related problems.

Just Read My Blog




Sometimes, when people ask me what's new in my life, I just want to tell them, "You haven't been reading my blog, have you?" Hello, people, I'm writing practically everything that's going on in my life on my blog. If you want to know, what's going on, then just read my blog. Thanks.

I don't want to have to tell you in person, since I don't like repeating myself. Well, sometimes I do, like when I want to say, "I told you so."

Due to the internet and other technological changes our society is going through, I feel that there's less need for social interaction. Pretty soon, we'll just be IM'ing each other instead of talking. I think that's going on already.

Whatever happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but whatever happens in L.A., stays in my blog. Or, whatever happens in my life, goes in my blog.

Okay, I'm insane. Forget everything I said.

Overlooking the valley near Charleton Flats. This is up the mountains near my old place in La Canada. It's up Angeles Crest. I used to call this my backyard since I went mountain biking here all the time back in high school. Posted by Picasa

Near Mt. Waterman. We went hiking in the snow. Sarah needed to get some fresh air, since L.A. is a smog pit. Whatever happens in L.A., stays in. . .my blog. Posted by Picasa

Breathe in all that clean mountain air. This is near Snow Crest. Posted by Picasa

This weekend, Sarah and I went up to the mountains to see some snow. A lot of it melted since it didn't rain in about a week. Maybe we'll go again next weekend since it's supposed to rain a lot this week. I reinjured my right wrist again trying to change the water on our water dispenser. Ouch! Fortunately, Sarah is a pharmacist who gave me Motrin for my inflamed muscle tissue. I hope the pain goes away, b/c I need my right wrist to do stuff. I'm right-handed and therefore, left-brained. At church, I told the story of Noah's Ark and all the kids were skeptical-even at that age. I couldn't finish my story without them interrupting me with questions constantly. They're a hyper bunch of kids anyway. I've told you about them before in my previous posts. I should use the catholic method of corporal punishment when they disrupt the class. Muhahaha! Oh, by the way, I've went back and read some of my past posts. I've noticed a lot of grammatical and syntax errors. If you spot them, please let me know. I need to fix them, b/c I'm anal. I don't like to write low quality crap. I like to write high quality ones. ;p Well, sometimes, if there's too many, I get overwhelmed and might get lazy. I don't want to go back and rewrite every single post I've written. We'll see. Posted by Picasa

Corpse Bride Posted by Picasa

Corpse Bride

One of the best claymations I've seen in my life, if not the best.

This little animated film is like a dark gothic kids' movie just like Tim Burton's other film, "A Nightmare Before Christmas".

Victor and Victoria are supposed to be wed the next day through an arranged marriage. Both their parents want them to marry so that it would help them out financially. Victor's parents are fish merchants and have risen to the ranks of the nouve riche. They think that Victoria's parents are "old money" and can help them rub elbows with the snobs of society. Victoria's parents are on the verge of bankruptcy and need Victoria to marry so that they won't be thrown out into the streets.

Victor bumbles his wedding vows during the wedding rehearsal and is told to come back once he memorizes his lines. He walks into the forest alone. While he recites his lines, he puts the ring on something he thinks is a dead twig on the ground, but it's actually Emily's finger. Emily rises from the dead and says, "I do."

Victor says it's all a misunderstanding, but Emily believes that they are legally bound forever and takes Victor to the Land of the Dead.

I like the way that the color in the real world is dark and dreary while it's very colorful in the world of the dead. The color contrast is a good use of irony. Why would anyone want to go to the land of the living when they are dying to be in the world of the dead?

It starts off with a good musical number by the parents trying to marry their children off for financial motives. I liked the music and the songs in this film. During one of the skeletons' dance and song, it reminded me of the song, "It's A Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo. After all, Danny Elfman did write the songs in this movie. Fortunately, he came up with better songs that matched the tone of this movie.

Victor looks like a clay model of Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands.

This is a cute kids' story in a creepy way. I didn't know the dead could be this fun and charming. There's a lot of witty little jokes and remarks.

Tim Burton makes necrophilia fun and interesting.

Victor later falls in love with Emily because of her great personality. Being dead is not going to set her back. Victor and Emily start playing beautiful music together on the piano. Victor becomes torn between 2 women. He also wants to go back to Victoria and the land of the living.

I'm not sure if this is suitable for young children, but I thought it was fantastic.

One of the skeletons informs Emily that there is a problem with her marriage. The old line, "Til death do us part" nullifies her marriage because she's already dead. The only way to solve this is if Victor dies. Then, they can be bound in marriage forever. Emily says she cannot give Victor poison, but Victor overhears this and chooses to go through with it so that he can get married to Emily.

This film's dead characters remind me of the great videogame by Lucasarts' Grim Fandango which is inspired by the Spanish celebration of Dia de los Muertos.

This film features a tightly written script and great animation. It's everything you can expect in an animation and more.

It's wholesome creepy fun.

Who knew that being dead is more fun than living? It's good that this movie was an animation. You couldn't see this story any other way. It wouldn't be good with real actors. I thought this was brilliant and beautiful. The dead can be very cute.

My rating: A, 93.
