Current Ramblings

Blargh.
I feel terrible today. Got another sinus infection. I'm desperately hoping I'll feel a little better before Ohayocon tomorrow, but these things usually take a couple days to run their course. I took today off in hopes of keeping my voice, unlike last time this happened. I think a lot of you know what I'm talking about. I still spent most of yesterday sounding a hell of a lot like Raven from Teen Titans, though. I think the moral is that I need to find a new doctor, one who doesn't just throw antibiotics at all my problems and will actually take a look at why I get these messed up infections all the time. I mean, who even GETS inner ear infections? I'm still not even 100% better from that one; I still veer violently off-course if I close my eyes while walking. I should probably just go straight to an ear-nose-throat specialist, if my insurance will let me circumvent the referral process. I think part of the problem is that I haven't had a regular doctor in over 10 years, and it's been about 12 since I had a proper physical exam. So when I tell the doctor that I've been having regular sinus and breathing problems "for a while now," he's probably thinking "a couple months," not a significant portion of my lifetime. I need a fresh doctor who has time for me to sit down and say, "Look, I have had these problems since I was a teenager and they've never been properly checked out. Please look into it." And then maybe I can climb the stairs to my apartment without panting.
Hopefully I'll have the new version of my web site up tomorrow, with or without a mascot graphic. Don't expect it to be more technically sophisticated than the current one; I still don't believe a person needs a web site that can't be coded in Notepad. I'm launching it with the Ohayocon report, which will ideally have a little bit of information from Scott and Kirby about Energon and possibly Gundam SEED and stuff. And picutres of the hot, hot voice actors. I'm going to assume I'll be feeling up to it.
For the, like, two of you who haven't stopped reading and skipped this entry now, let me take a moment to angst at you: Graham and I might be going to England this summer. The problem with this is the "might". It'll depend on him getting one of a shrinking number of research assistanceship grants from his school, because otherwise he'll have to teach. If we could go, it would be one of the happiest things ever for me, and I wouldn't be able to thank his parents enough for making it possible. But the uncertainty is driving me crazy. I already let my hope gets raised a little bit, and now I don't even want to think that we might not be able to go. It'd just be too great if we could, even if I'd still have to put a good chunk of money toward a passport and more memory cards for my camera.
