last night’s soup:

*gulp* this is sour. *gulp* is this sour? *gulp* i think it’s sour. *gulp* yes, it’s sour. cream of corn soup shouldn’t be sour. *gulp* i think sour means it’s spoiled. *gulp* it shouldn’t be spoiled, it’s only been sitting on the table for 24 hours. *gulp* it’s not that sour. *gulp* … *gurgle* ok, time to throw it out.

on this day, the fifth anniversary of our unholy union (half a decade!), it brings tiffany and me great joy in announcing that the end of the world is nigh. again.

that’s right, we are expecting our second child, hereforth known affectionately as ‘demonchild, testosterone edition’ (it’s a boy), towards the middle of october.

for those that i haven’t seen or heard from in a while, this is what’s new with me. what’s new with you?

so we’ve been potty training ada for a while now, and at this stage since she can’t actually walk on her own, it’s more like we’re the ones being trained as we regularly stop what we’re doing to bring her to the potty. or so i thought. Read the rest of this entry »

another headache. dull persistent pain that started in the middle of the day while watching ada. tried to wait it out but eventually gave up and took medicine. it was gone within 2 episodes of charles in charge (i was watching them on my roku netflix box). for breakfast i had sesame chinese-style pancake and egg. lunch was instant noodles, but i’m pretty sure the headache started before lunch. i think this headache might have been caused by the constant smell of cigarettes which was around since i woke up. nothing else i can think of.

recently i’ve developed a weird… development. Read the rest of this entry »

in regards to the sandals… final answer: Read the rest of this entry »

woke up 9/14 morning with a slight throbbing on the left side. it somehow switched to left right side later in the day, and then after some time it wasn’t really localized on any speficular side. it was minor, so at first i didn’t take any medicine. it started getting worse in the afternoon, so i decided to take some medicine. i was second guessing whether or not it was an actual migraine and finally decided that it wasn’t since it wasn’t affecting one particular side and i wasn’t experiencing photophobia. i took excedrin sinus on a hunch that it might have been a sinus headache instead, but found that the medicine had expired. i knew that medicine doesn’t actually go bad when it expires, it only loses its potency, so i took a bit more than directed. the medicine didn’t help at all, so i went to bed early-ish (around 10pm?). woke up 9/15 2am with a really bad headache and nausea, so i took excedrin migraine, and it went away within a few hours (just in time to start getting ready for work).

surrounding circumstances: i don’t remember. nothing that stands out in my mind. i’ve been pretty bad about keeping this journal. i’m only recording this to remind myself next time not to second guess my headache and go straight for the excedrin migraine. i had tried excedrin sinus & excedrin tension before with no effect. stick with what works!

i’ve been watching videos from this guy, sxephil (pronounced: sexy phil; real name: philip defranco), on youtube. he does a news commentary thing that’s hilarious. makes me proud to be a philip with one l.

setting: it’s early morning and i’m driving tiff to her bus stop. the sunlight is glaring against the partially fogged-up windshield as i deftly maneuver around 3 city buses and a school bus. i play the role of tofu and tiff plays the role of tiff. Read the rest of this entry »
