Can't talk, must write

[vivien]

Larygitis again. You know, it's probably not healthy for me to have it so often. Another reason to try and find something other than working with children.

I trimmed my friends list a bit. No offense to anyone who I took off.

I am kinda blue tonight. Not only is my voice gone, but all my pictures of Beth's visit seemed to disappear from my crappy little digital camera. And now I am missing my friends in Hawaii. A lot.

And Friends and Will and Grace weren't very good. I didn't even bother with Coupling. We're watching to Elvis Costello on Live By Request. Very cool.
