I don't update as much as I'd like to but life has been pretty slow for me lately.
The past week has sucked though. I got really sick starting on Monday and it's only really ceased up now. Fever and body aches, the whole works! And it's summer! WTF! And to top it all off, I severely fucked up my back on Thursday just by sleeping in my crappy old bed. Like, it was so bad that on the first two days I literally could not stand for more than a minute and could hardly work. I was in so much pain that my mom gave me the vicodin she had left over from her almost-surgeries a couple months back. Two of those only worked for about 2 hours (>.<) Anyways, I've been feeling better now, just pretty sore. My parents bought me a brand new bed and mattress set today so hopefully that helps!
I really don't like the fact that I got sick in the summer. I know that I caught it from a friend at my brother's party last weekend (he got it too, probably worse than I did, and got prescribed an expensive swine flu medication XD) but still, this is generally the time when I'm the healthiest. The past two years I've been getting sick for long periods of time (refer to old posts, but it's been for 1-2 months at a time in the fall/winter) and I don't like the idea that my immunities are so shot and I'm not yet 20. I've been seriously considering starting the Master Cleanse. Basically, it's a detox diet where you're supposed to drink nothing but a drink mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, cayene pepper, and water for 10 days along with a salt water flush (figure it out) each night. I've met two people who have done this diet before. One was a girl in one of my classes last year who, on her 5th day, looked like she was ready to keel over at any minute and appeared to be on the verge of tears every second from how hungry she was. The second was my friend Donica who admitted it was difficult but was in nowhere near as bad a shape as the other girl. I tried some of the drink and it's actually not as bad as it sounds, it just tastes like a spiced watered-down lemonade. I know it would be really intense but I want to give it a try. I don't think I'd go all out on the first time so if I do it I'm also going to incorporate soft fruits into the diet. I've never done anything like a liquid diet before so I don't think it's something I can jump right in to on the first try.
So have any of you ever done this diet before or tried a detox like it? Have you read some obscure medical journal that says all people who try this diet mysteriously die within 2 years? Any and all info if welcome while I'm still researching ^^
In concert news, I have tickets to see The Killers twice this summer in Santa Barbara and San Diego but I think I'm going to skip on their show at the Hollywood Bowl. The tickets are $125 (!!!!!) and the venue is entirely seated so I don't think it's worth it. Howeverrrr, Franz Ferdinand just announced a gig at the Hollywood Palladium in August and I'll most definitely be grabbing tickets to that on Friday! ♥
I've been listening to a lot of The Smiths and Silversun Pickups recently. It's really good to see that SP has achieved a lot. Carnavas was a great album that took a while to get noticed and I'm just as impressed with Swoon.
I leave you with a shirtless Morrissey:
My biggest regret in life is that I was not born in London in the 1960's so I could have spent my teens and twenties as a British punk in the 70's and 80's.I actually get quite depressed when I think enough about how I'll never be able to experience that (>.<)
