I have been fighting off a bit of depression the past couple of days. Two weeks of being stuck indoors, unable to eat anything and walking around our one bedroom apartment for exercize finally got to me. Yesterday I broke down and Jake whisked me away to... Best Buy. I bought Romancing The Stone/Jewel of the Nile, Independence Day, Speed, Alien, Aliens, Silence of the Lambs and Down Periscope. I may not have a great taste in movies... but at least I have more to watch! It felt soooo good to get out for a bit. I am hurting today because of it but that's okay. I go to the doctors on Thursday for my first check up. This should be fun. The only good part about an all liquid diet is that I've lost 21 pounds in 2 weeks. It's amazing what a 125-150 calorie a day intake can do for a body. :p

I never noticed how much I would miss food until I can't eat it. I have one more week of clear liquids before I can start on foods. Even then it's going to be a slow process. But ANYTHING is better than Jello, water, popcicles and broth. Watching movies are really hard when it gets to the food scenes. I was dying for a salad with tomatoes... and sure enough that's what they were eating. I want a potato so bad... and still do even after watching an actor throw it up in another movie.

Speaking of movies... I am very annoyed at Columbia House. I ordered five movies on August 31st so they would be here in time. I get back from the hospital and still no movies. I found Columbia House's phone number via the Get Human site and they assured me it would take 7 to ten days. No fair! I can't sit at the computer long and can't walk far... I'm bored out of my mind. My love affair with CH is turning into a 'eh, they're okay'. Entertain me, damn it!

I have finally listed about 98% of my movies on DVD Spot. I still miss Guzzlefish, but oh well. I like how DVD Spot has an owned and wish list section. I finally have a list of the VHS I still need to buy as DVDs. I'm still going to replace that old cabinet with something a little larger and more stylish. I just loathe having to do it before we move into something larger. A nice two bedroom with air conditioning would be nice.

Jake's last day on his temp job was Friday. He did one interview with a friend of mine, but it's still iffy. I'm not counting on that one, so I hope he has more soon. At least he finally signed up for classes. I'm annoyed that he's still going parttime, though. *sigh* I just want to move on with my life to something better. I can wait 4 1/2 years to move, but that's it. I wish we had a Plan B.

I joined Columbia House DVD club last week. I am trying to upgrade all my VHS movies to DVDs. I've got about half of them done so far. It's going to take a while since I have over 100 movies left. Even at $10 each that would be about $1000 bucks. *shudders* If they come out with something else to improve DVDs I'm going to scream.

Jake bought Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. I think that I am becoming a Vin Diesel fan. I really enjoyed his character. I thought he was going to be another Van Damme. Full of ego and short on personality. Instead he was confident, funny and kicked ass in the fight scenes. I look forward to seeing more movies with him in it.
