The doctorb (actually her assistant) said I had a virus, and sent me off with some prescriptions. I've now discovered in the latest attempt to screw us, our insurance has added a co-pay in addition to raising our prescription rates. Cost of 3 prescriptions (including 2 generic replacements)= about $75. Suck. But I did get 60 of the sudafed-guifenasin doodads, so I should be good for... well, forever. And she says I ought to be feeling better today and over the worst of it. Also, in case you're interested, I found out that wheezing is officially noise from your smallest little lung baggie things; I thought I was wheezing because crap in my lungs was making noise, but apparently the crap is not far enough into my lungs to count as actual wheezing. Er, okay then.
I've been dicking around with S2, and changed the look of my journal. What do you think? I'm pretty happy with it.
I finished Harry Potter 5. I hate to say it, but Harry is an idiot. I understand that he's 15 and full of angst and shit, but there were about 400 times when he could have just told the right person what was going on, and saved his fool self a lot of pain and misery. Maybe it's a British thing, or the fact that I was raised by therapists who always impressed upon me the value of communication. Ah, well.

But I think the only redeeming thing about it is that it reads to me as a very accurate snapshot of an angry, hurting teenager caught up in very bad things. I know when I was that age I was in a bad situation that could have been resolved much faster if I had gone to someone for help. But I was fifteen and determined to do it all on my own and I was scared.
Umbridge frightens me horribly in that book. She's the icon of all seemingly normal people who harbor terrible ideals and fanaticism.

You see it in the pics without the bowl cut and the glasses. It looks like Hollywood's already managed to give Emma Watson an eating disorder though... she looks awfully thin. *sigh*

I suppose one of the good things is that the kids on that film are required to have all their schooling done before they can work, which of course slows down the filming. Hopefully it provides some normality to their lives too.
