i hate, hate, hate your guts

"i hope this song touches you like your father does."

so i have an ear infection - i got it on sunday while taking a fucking bubble bath.
yeah, a bubble bath.
here's the lowdown: it was sunday evening with a few hours before the oscars and i'm bored out of my mind because i have no life. so i was sitting in my room, wondering what i could do to kill the time before the awards came on, and then it hit me:
why don't i take a bubble bath? i haven't taken one in so long...
so being the cool person that i am i dig through the cabinets in the bathroom to find some bubble bath mix, and i pour the shit into a tubful of water and hop in. it was probably the most relaxing 45 minutes i have ever had in years, seriously.
but then when i get out, i realize that i can't hear out of my left ear. somehow water had gotten into it, and now i feel like half of my head is underwater.
a day passes and my head starts to hurt, so my mom gives me this oily shit and tells me to put five drops in twice every day - it's supposed to stop the infection or something. so i do that, and the pain intensifies, and i still can't hear properly.
yesterday i had an hour before i had to leave for school so i decide to play a bit of guitar. of course, being half deaf, i can strum the chords properly but i can't hear myself sing at the same time, so i'm guessing i sounded pretty bad. off-key singing to me is just like nails against a chalkboard.
today, when my parents came home my dad took me to the doctor. the doctor said that it's just your regular ear infection and that if i keep taking those blasted drops i should be fine in a few days. at least it's nothing serious, but those drops are a killer. what the hell is in it anyway? it feels like dropping sulfuric acid into my eardrums.
oh well. i guess i won't be singing any time soon...but i can still play guitar, i think. it sounded on-key to me...

anyway, who watched the oscars on sunday? if you didn't that's okay - i'm like the only person i know who watches the entire thing anyway, haha.
kate winslet FINALLY won best actress, after 39847239487239 past nominations. she totally deserves it - i saw the reader a few weeks ago, and it was amazing. that brit sure knows how to act, and she uses nakedness to her advantage (for those who don't know she appears nude in nearly all of her movies) - work it, girl!
and of course the late heath ledger took best supporting actor, and the speech his parents and sister gave was touching - there wasn't a dry eye in the house; even brangelina was crying!
and i've officially added hugh jackman to my list of celebrity crushes (others include tom delonge, edward norton, gerard way, brad pitt, ewan mcgregor, jackson rathbone, dallas green, and many others that i can't think of at the moment) because he was probably the best host thus far - actually he's right up there with ellen degeneres from last year, haha. his opening number with anne hathaway was great, and the whole 'the musical is back' thing was superb too, minus the zac efron, the vanessa hudgens and the lipsyncing beyonce. even seth rogen and james franco reassumed their roles as saul and dale to perform in a small comedy skit! great stuff right there. slumdog millionaire won a billion awards, including best picture, which was expected, and curious case of benjamin button won quite a handful as well. both are great movies, which i recommend to everyone, and they deserve it!
all in all, pretty good ceremony this year - expected it to be a little bleak because of the recession, but they recovered nicely. they showed a brief preview for movies coming out this year, and it only makes me more excited for half blood prince =) go harry potter!
