So I know I haven’t been whining about it much lately — it’s been a conscious and strenuous effort — but I’m still sick. My life has become rather small. I sleep, I blog, I eat oranges and cereal, and I watch DVDs of Heroes. In fact, today was notable because I managed to drive my car for the first time since Friday. My dad wasn’t home and I absolutely had to have a chicken sandwich from Burger King. I was in no condition to drive, but I had no choice. So I hauled my ass out to my car and drove the three miles to the nearest Burger King. I nearly passed out from the effort, but it was totally worth it. Definitely the most exciting moment of the past week for me. And I was talking to my boss on the phone yesterday, and I told him I hadn’t showered in like four days and he was like “You should shower” and I was like “I know, it’s on my To-Do list for today,” and he’s like, “Wow, your life isn’t very exciting right now, is it?” No, no it isn’t.

But back to Heroes. I never watched it when it was on TV, but I’ve become totally hooked on the DVDs. I’m about halfway through the first season right now, and I’m absolutely obsessed with Ali Larter. I always thought she was a cutie — Blonde Ambition, anyone? — and she has a body for which I would happily shoot a homeless man, but she’s also, it turns out, an extremely talented actress. I just think she’s phenomenal on that show. She’d be my new lesbian crush, but she’s a little old for me.

Also, she’s engaged.

Here she is at the Ungaro show in Paris with fiance Hayes MacArthur. Check out the bling.
