Lord of the Rings redux.
Last weekend I made Jimmy watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. Extended editions, even. I guess I shouldn't say I "made" him because he willingly entered into this endeavor, but nevertheless it feels like a huge imposition to ask someone to watch an 11-hour movie. Especially when you've constantly raved about how it's the greatest movie ever ( Read more... ) -
showers be damned.
Okay, so maybe I'm annoyed by this because I am not married nor do I have children of my own... but damn, am I sick of showers ( Read more... ) -
Random.
1) Aaaand I'm done. Yesterday was my last day at my job. And even though I am going to miss my friends there, I feel absolutely no guilt or remorse for leaving. Every time I've left a job, I've been kinda sad and teary-eyed as I walked around to tell everyone goodbye. I've usually felt that fear of the unknown; questioning whether or not I've made ( Read more... ) -
2011: already infinitely more awesome than 2010.
Well, I'll be damned. Jimmy won us tickets to see Weezer play the Blue Album in Chicago this Friday, as well as pre-show Meet & Greet passes ( Read more... ) -
New Year's Resolutions
I never really like the idea of New Year's resolutions -- mainly because I believe that if you want to change something about your life, you shouldn't just wait for some arbitrary date to try -- but I'll join the masses this year and post a few goals I have for 2011:
-Update more. Even though Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr have leeched off many ( Read more... ) -
Post-Accutane, Day 4
So I'm done. I made it through, for the most part. I hadn't updated since August because there really wasn't anything new to talk about. Same old side effects. Same clear complexion. I thought I was starting to sound like a broken record. I did get lax and reduce my dose to help some of the joint pain subside (instead of 80 MG every day -- two 40MG ( Read more... ) -
Accutane, Day 94
So, the joint pain is bad. Moreso than it has been. It's gotten to the point where I think that I will have to reduce my dosage. I don't notice the pain when I teach -- maybe because I'm so distracted by everything I have to do? -- but I am now noticing it during regular workouts. My back hurts pretty much all the time. The lower back has a dull ( Read more... ) -
Hanson at Headliner's in Louisville / Accutane: Day 87
It might seem weird to bundle together my Accutane update with the Hanson show in Louisville last night, but the two may be related to my current issue so I'm combining ( Read more... ) -
Accutane: Day 58
I'm two months down (or close enough). That's two-fifths of the way done, since my derm has me on a five-month course. It feels like I've been taking these pills forever and it's a little disheartening to think that I'm not even halfway done ( Read more... ) -
Accutane: Day 37.
So it's not been so bad, yet. The side effects of Accutane, so far, are just mildly annoying as opposed to being a pain in the ass or worse, dangerous. A quick rundown:
*Dry facial skin, obviously, but I've even managed to keep it under control for the most part. I switched from Cetaphil moisturizing cream to Cerave moisturizing cream on a nurse's ( Read more... )
