Lili – still not eating

Aside from the two or three mouthfuls she had last night, she’s had nothing more. I’m really starting to panic now.  I just don’t think this is going to end well. I’ve tried to stay upbeat for four days, and now all I can see is horrendous vet bills I can’t afford, a decision based on that, which will be full of guilt, and a life without my noisy monster. Back to the vets for her 3rd antibiotic injection at five, and we’ll see what they say.

less panicking

ok – so she’s had another injection, and once again, she had a mouthful or two when she got home, but it’s obviously causing her discomfort as she digests it. However, she’s developed a taste for whiskas treat biscuits so he had about six of those. We’ll see how she goes. I’ll get some blood work done on Thursday if she’s not much better and see if there’s something sinister going on. I apologise for the wail of despair earlier. Those who know me well know how rare I do that kind of thing in public. I’ve had a bad week.

I also went to the hospital for my start of warfarin. I was supposed to start it tonight but I want to have a drink tonight, so i’ll start them tomorrow. Looks like I’ll have to be a moderate drinker from now on. Good Lord. Is that possible?

No writing today, for obvious reasons.

it does get better, and some of it is fab.

Just seen that the Ginsberg film – Howl, has had a hugely disappointing opening – just barely breaking a quarter of a million over 18 theatres. (the “obscene” quiz is frankly wrong and baffling, don’t go there)

I wonder if it’s because, frankly, people want something a bit more upbeat for a fucking change when it comes to GLBT films. With the meteoric rise of gay romance in the last few years – and knowing that more and more gay men are enjoying the genre – perhaps more people are wanting something more enjoyable. I love stuff like Changeling, and Girl Interrupted, for example – but I’ll watch Tomb Raider over and over and over and over. Why can’t we film stuff like The Steel Remains – rather than GLOOM AND DOOM. 

In the flavour of UK Coming Out Day, let’s all consider how we want a more positive attitude to gay issues in the next year. Why does it always have to be gloomy?
