Happy Halloween or Samhain

It all depends on what type of Pagan you are.

Since I have no kids, don't get any kids, and am not trick or treating myself, I had decided to go out tonight. I can't think of anything much more fitting than going to see Sweeney Todd. Normally I simply ignore the stream of junk e-mail that comes in to me, but I got one e-mail from ticketmaster about the special deal and decided to take them up on the offer. I have several friends who also wanted to take part so it will be a nice night out.

So yeah the blog had been kind of slow lately since I never know what to talk about anymore. I don't think anyone wants me to lament about my love life anymore, and I know sports is out of the question (eventhough I really did not consider it), what do I have left? How about my health. Yeah thats been bothering me lately. Not that I am going to keel over next week or anything but nothing is more distressing than going for a physical (as I did a couple of Fridays ago) thinking that everything will be ok and then finding out differently. Now I know that I have basically turned myself around and have become healthier all around so it would figure that I start to fall apart at the same time. Basically a couple of tests came back a little wonky about my kidneys. I am far from needing dialysis but it did warrant more testing. Which is why today I found myself getting an Ultrasound.

As ultrasounds go this one was disappointing. I am sure the sonographer is well trained and qualified in her field, and I know that she really is not suppose to be telling me anything specific but she did not have to be so frigid. It was not my idea to be laid out on a gurney, jellied up and proded all morning. (snicker away Elizabeth and Melanie). Could you have least had a bed side manner? Would it have killed you to be a little nicer. Anyways I guess I won't find out anything until my Dr. reviews the findings. Hopefully this was just all a false alarm. Anyways more tomorrow I promise.

5 Days and Counting

Wow its another Sunday already so I figure I should write something down. Its not like I haven't wanted to its just finding the time sometimes. First off I will start by saying that I have heard the comments and the e-mails and I will not talk about sports ever on my blog. I thought I could incorporate a little but that doesn't seem to be very popular so the last thing I will say is "Go Sox".

Ok so what are the 5 days for? My vacation. Not that I'm going anywhere special I just get to get a break from everything. Which is going to be most welcome at this point. I may still travel around on day trips to places but I most likely won't decide that until the day of. I'll enjoy the time away from work. You know what they say whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well I'm thinking I should be a bit mightier in the near future.

A Funny Sunday

Well its a damn good thing I got those shots on Friday. I don't know why but the combination of Flu shot and Tetanus shot threw off my system. So much so that I could not do much of what I wanted this weekend. Oh well it did allow me to rest. I never did get to that Vegetarian Festival (sorry Nikki and Mario) maybe next year. I did get a chance to e-mail several peop;le I had been meaning to talk to.

I watched a couple of games: Game 6 of the Alcs series. Pretty much after the 3rd inning I knew we had it. We had 10 runs and the Indians went through two pitchers. The Patriots performed equally as well against Miami. Their streak of 30+ points a game continues again. I'll take the wins bet there was almost no contest. We'll see how tonight's game goes. I'm not expecting any JD Drew Grand Slams but maybe Dice-K can prove his worth. Ok I know this isn't a sports blog I'll stop now.

So right now I am sitting outside what I call the Gay Man's McDonald's. Yes I am at Panera Bread. The one in Marlboro to be specific. I am waiting for Seth to arrive so we can get dinner. Unfortunately it seems the Indian Restaurant that we intended on going is closed. I don't know why and perhaps I don't want to know. I guess we'll find some place else to go. It's a nice night though and cooling off rather fast. It was rather warm today. I was out exploring Memorial Forest Reservation in Marlboro. Why? Because It was a nice little walk and since I have started up my Letterboxing hobby again. It was fun and I worked up an appetite. Tomorrow brings work but I rather not think about that yet.

What What WHHAATTT!!!!

Thanks to my friend in Vermont for pointing out this little tidbit. Apparently Dumbledore from the much beloved Harry Potter series was gay. Definetly puts a an interesting twist on everything. Not that the story changes any but at least it gives you more insight to the character. I am sure this is going to cause some backlash but to be honest the crazy Christians already deplore the series so this will be just one more thing. I applaud JK Rowling she's provided a role model of a character that isn't know for being gay, he just happens to be a gay. The more exposure people get to this kind of thing the better.

So I went to the Dr's Friday and received my flu shot. I have never in my life reacted to it, but sure enough last night as I was thinking about heading out to the movies I started to get a fever. By 2AM I was shivering. Crap! I took some Tylenol and headed back to bed only to be woken at 4Am needing to get some water. At this point I was sweating I was so hot, so much so that I actually had to turn my AC on. Fortunately I had not removed it yet. After getting comfortable again I fell back asleep and woke up at about noon. There went half the day. I had so much hope for last night and today, but oh well.

What was I planning on doing? Well my friends Nikki and Mario were going to meet up with me at the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival. I may still make it there we'll see. There is also an open art studio event going on that I was considering going to as well in Fort Point. One of my coworkers uncle's has a display there.

What else is going on. I know a large Yard Sale is going on in Newton at my work. People have been donating a lot of goods to it and the time is finally here so this Weekend get yourself over to 156 Oak St. Did I mention we also have discounted shoes?

Since I just got rather tech savvy and started to see were people where coming from to get to my blog I should mention that its also time for the UnderBear party at the Alley 10 PM to close. Hows that for knowing your audience.

Do you drive stick?

You know whats worse then dealing with a shitty situation you created? Dealing with one someone else did.

Well my friend would be disappointed if I did not mention her today in my blog. Her husband was trying to decide what kind of car to get, but he didn't want to get "the gay car" so whats the solution to that. She asks me, I'm not quite sure why she was so embarrassed about asking that question considering the ones thats she's whipped out before that one was utterly G rated. Well I offered up my advice saying that I did not think the car he was looking at was "a gay car" and told him what he should steer clear of because you know once you get "the gay car" there will be someone who will want to stick his tongue down your throat just because of your car. We should all be so lucky.

Anyways this led to an interesting 5 seconds of surfing the web. I figured with blogs and all someone must have a list of the top gay cars and sure enough there is. Of course my future auto purchase (Honda Element) did not make the list. It made it on last years list. LOL Surprisingly the Dodge Charger made the list this year, now I guess I don't have to feel guilty about liking it.

Well E I hope you're happy you provided the only topic for my blog tonight.
