From the Orifice of the Playpen
It would have been so easy to go off on a rant this month. I am taking a new medication called Ro-Accutane. For those who don’t know R-A is an acne medication that is about as strong as you can get. The doc who prescribed this drug claimed in his infinite fucking wisdom that the most I should expect in the way of side effects is a little dryness of the lips.
Well so far and considering I have only been taking the wonder fucking drug a week, I have lips that look like they have been ripped from a dead guy and licked and stuck on mine. I am sure the human lips don’t have that many layers of skin and losing three layers in one day is a bit extreme. OK so we did the lips, then there is the stomach cramps. Now if you take a look at the pic provided on this page you’ll notice that I am not a small guy. Imagine getting a stomach cramp in something that big. Oh yeah throw in a headache that feels like it was caused by Sammy Sosa using my head for home run batting practice and you almost get what I am going through at the moment, but probably the worst side effect is the irritability. I get as pissy as the next person but when you ball out the TV for playing the wrong ad, now you know I am having issues with this drug. But hey who cares really I get too have the male version of PMS for the next year. So all in all things are not too bad.
On to other news: Linda survived the opening of the new store, but only just. She has worked double the amount of hours in the past three weeks than she was scheduled for. And I at times, have forgotten what she looks like. Unfortunately in a freak shellfish attack Linda slipped and badly hurt her knee (and in front of a store full of customers could only say “OH FUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK”) and needed a week of work, which just so happened to coincide with my week off so in a twisted kind of way that worked out well. Although in the week she has been back at work she almost had a nervous breakdown through people quitting on her and asshole specialists getting on her tits. But some light comedic relief once at home soon sorted her out.
Other than that it’s been pretty quiet around here. We finally got a new computer, Dell gave us credit… bless em and the fool that agreed to that.
Before we head out of this month we just wanted to let ya all know that if you don’t have the new Bruce Springsteen CD, The Rising, you should be ashamed of yourself, but once you stop beating your naked bodies for not having it go out and get it. At 50+ Bruce has put out his most inspired collection of tunes to date. 1st time since 1984 he has recorded with the E-Street band and he has a new producer too. I bought this and haven’t had it out of the CD player yet. Top-notch music that will not only make you wanna dance but it will make you think on a totally different wavelength on some issues. Well it did me.
Anywhoooooooooooo folksy dokes time for me to go and assume the position again. The mistress is calling.
Until next time,
Keep your cuffs on the bedpost and your eye on the door.
Linda and Paul.
