So its been a day since my last post...in that time, i watched the entire Godfather trilogy from start to finish...this is what being sick will drive you to--like how I watched The Bachellor finale tonight...it was funny really, when you deconstruct just how serious people take themselves to be. I can't believe that its really that easy to find your "soul mate" as determined by ABC...crazy stuff.
The doctor has advised that I am on the mend...I feel a bit better, more like myself. I have been drinking lot of water and started eating solids today--had an odd, odd, unhealthy craving for Count Chocula cereal, so I of course went out and bought some, it was good...

Remember Boo Berry Cereal? I think they all come from the same mother.

Anyway, my disposition hasn't changed but I have learned to just make do with what is given...who knows what this year will bring...maybe i'll try my hand at the TAL internship again...tough to say.

I am going home next week for a week. My mother's surgery, seeing friends, my dad...sans my little brother who will still be in Denmark. However, when asked by my father what he intended to do in Denmark on this very American holiday, he said, and I quote (per usual) "I don't know...maybe i'll volunteer at a homeless shelter here..."
and he wants to join the navy?
Such a peculiar time to want to join...if its structure he craves, why not missionary work (as much of a bad rep as it has in some circles) or just something other than a realm that could, feasibly in some time, send him to Iraq, with the rest of our tax dollars...
its tough to say.

I will miss him alot over this Turkey time...family is such an odd solar system. I just hope he navigates his way back home for Easter, since Christmas is his holiday in Hawaii.
