we got much further than i thought we'd get tonight

I've been watching tons of Intervention lately. The A&E channel is OnDemand and they've got a few episodes on there, plus reruns are on often. I literally can't get enough of the show - some of the episodes are ridiculous. Rarely do I feel any sort of sympathy for the addicted person in question, as most have gotten into the situation with an incredulous "WHATEVA I DO WAT I WANT" attitude. But the story of Derek really hit me hard... the poor guy has such bad depression that he can't see how great his life really was. It surprised me that no one had him committed to a psych ward - I know common misconception is that you CAN'T have someone over legal age committed without their consent, but if there is obvious reason to have them put in (like such bouts of depression, suicidal talk, etc.) they can be held for 72 hours against their will. Why didn't anyone do that for him?

I don't know, the episode just really hit me the wrong way. I love Intervention and the whole concept, but if someone is in too deep, they should get help right away. The guy is drinking non-stop, sitting in the same spot for the whole episode, talking about killing himself and, at one point, even cuts his knuckles - does the show's crew not understand that even a relatively moderate cut can bleed uncontrollably when the body's BAC level is as high as his was?

GAH.

Sarah is going to build my bunny a new fancy cage =) We went out Monday and bought some new bedding/litter and food for Wombat and a new bowl and litter pan that attaches to the cage so they don't get knocked over. Wombat ate dinner with us on the couch but then she peed - usually she doesn't pee except in one spot in her cage so I don't know what happened. I think she was just excited to see me because I'm never at the apartment (Joe's place has air-conditioning... end of story).

I can't get any thoughts straight today... people keep asking simple questions like "What's in my account?" and it takes me a good five seconds to comprehend what they're asking. I don't think this is good... maybe I should take a nap later.

The Mets game may have made me so tired. They seriously suck all the energy out of me sometimes. At least they won, despite Heilmann's shitty performance. Tatis totally gets MVP from me - he accounted for 4 out of 5 runs scored (he had two homers and drove in two other runners). And new beautiful boy Dan Murphy had a pretty awesome catch, as did A. Reyes. Love the Reyes's. So maybe the dramallama of the game led me to be so tired today... I don't know.

I do know ONE thing though: that I love Rihanna. Don't ask me when this happened. I used to be okay with her but didn't like to watch her perform (she has the same facial structure as my BFFE from high school [needless to say we had a falling out and aren't BFFEs anymore]) but now that she's chopped up her hair it's okay. OnDemand (LUFF) had a live performance of her and Maroon 5's song "If I Never See Your Face Again" and I thought I was gonna lose it in my panties...

Speaking of losing it in my panties, I made the Polish dinner last night. We had golobkis (which took GODDAMNFOREVER to cook, but I thought they were delicious), pierogies and kielbasa (from this meat place on the North side... the pierogies were great and the kielbasa SMELLED good but the texture was funny =/), rye bread (OMNOMNOM) and omg hot pickles the best pickles ever. I could eat a whole jar of those damn $5 pickles... I can't stop thinking about them.

Maybe I need an Intervention?
