2005-04-08 7:16 p.m. I think I'm having one of those sinus headache things. Annoying. I'll just ignore it because there's really not a lot I can do about it. I can't take a lot of over the counter medications without feeling funky. Which is kind of funny considering how I used to down Benadryl and Tylenol PM just to get a couple of hours worth of sleep a night. I had weird dreams last night that I know stemmed from reading The Bookseller of Kabul a couple of weeks ago. One of them had me as a modern western chick visiting a friend of traditional Afghan background. She'd somehow been promised to two different families for marriage. The first family became the rejected family and upon hearing the news stole the bride away and she married her first intended husband. Strangely enough this family ended up being very liberal, all things considered, and my friend visited around as she pleased and continued her education. Even the oldest female of the house, a grandmother, was taking advantage of the wealth, relatively speaking, of learning about the house. She was studying Russian of all languages. She asked me how to spell consummate in Russian. Of course I only speak English. Consummate is kind of a weird word to really stick out in my head, huh? Huh.
