my head is pounding like rolling thunder

i am sitting in the library at mason, wasting time until it is time to go home. it's ten, so there's really no one on campus to amuse me. all my emails have been checked, facebook has been checked, blackboard has been checked, the option of starting any of my assignments has been scratched off my to-do list and the list has been thrown away. i come to blogger, thinking that i'll read some blogs and live vicariously through other people's days, but do you know how many blogs i follow were updated recently?? not a lot, i can tell you that. i read all of them in ten minutes. why has everyone decided to slack off on blogging when i need amusement?

here's my story of the day that you guys can live vicariously through if you want to, though why you would is beyond me:

so i was sitting in the dentist's office waiting room this afternoon for over an hour. they had this really nice tv about a foot away from where i was sitting playing a slideshow type advertisement for their office over an over and over again. the thing was about five minutes long and just repeated nonstop. at the start of the "show" for lack of a better word, a question comes up on the screen asking the viewer "are you anxious about visits to the dentist?" with the words fear and anxiety flying around the screen in a million different fonts. from a strictly IT point of view, a lot could have been improved from the design angle, but i mean, whatever. then, the screen fades to black, and in big silver letters in the middle of the screen pops up "your not alone." if you don't see what's wrong with that sentence, then i'm pretty sure i hate you. okay, so not really, but i think you should go learn grammar. your/you're confusion gets under my skin. i realize that slip-ups will happen, but in something that you are using to promote your business, in an ad that you will subject your patients to watch on repeat while they sit in your waiting room, you would think that you could get someone to edit it a bit. or at least just read over it. gah, it annoyed me so much. and, i dunno, i dont think i wanna go to a dentist that doesn't know the basics of english grammar.

oh, and my head hurts. stupid contacts.
