in case you don't see me next week, I'm on a movie binge

Donnie Darko: with Frank the Bunny (James Duval) - February 10th 9:45pm
Would you believe I've never seen this film? I know. I don't know why I never saw it either. I'm kind of scared of the bunny, and a little worried Duval is going to come to the theater dressed in the bunny outfit. Eep.

Love Bites: Power Ballad singalong - February 15th 9:45pm
I have my fingers crossed in hopes that they play all my favorite songs. Does Cherry Pie by Warrant count as a ballad? probably not but I have just admitted to the internet that I loved that song and owned the tape.

Master Pancake Theater: Titanic - February 17th 10:00pm
Somehow, they have pared the film down to 90 minutes. (Praise Jeebus!) Since the Sinus Show is no more, I hope MPT can take up the torch and continue providing us with hours of hilarity. I shudder to imagine what sort of bad jokes can be made about this one. (Another embarassing confessional moment: I actually saw Titanic in the theater on a date.)

Moulin Rouge singalong - February 18th 7:00pm
I forgave Baz Luhrmann for many things when I finally got around to seeing this film, and I'm excited to see it on the big screen finally. The copy on the site for this event is hysterical and sweet.

You know the movie: Christian moves to Paris to pursue a Bohemian lifestyle and then of course falls into a doomed love affair with the most beautiful girl at the Moulin Rouge. But until you've seen the movie and sung the songs and learned that lesson in a movie theater with 200 other heart-swept people, you've never really known what it's like to be in love. Your heart will swell. Your lungs will burst. Bring a date, or else make sure you choose who you sit next to carefully, because you *will* end up falling in love with that person before the credits roll.

where is my damned vicodin?

The pain continues this morning. I made it through the night thanks to a sleeping pill. The over the counter painkillers aren't doing shit for me at this point. Where is House when I need him? I could use some vicodin. The left side of my face hurts, and my ear is starting to hurt. I am wondering if I have an infection, as someone suggested yesterday.

I just have to hold out until 1:45pm, as I can see my doctor then. I called out from work, because I'm in way too much pain to even think about talking to clients on the phone. My hands shake a little from it.

TMJ or TMD, either acronym will suffice

Over the past four days I have been to the doctor twice and picked up five different prescriptions. (I think we know where my tax refund is going.) So, my kind and soft spoken doctor says the agony is tempromandibular joint disorder. This is the part of the movie where I pitch and unnecessary and childish tantrum over having such a ridiculous problem, using every curse word I can remember in English, French, Spanish, Czech, Russian, Chinese and maybe that awful Serbian thing I used to know how to say.

I'm going to try to eat something so I have food in my stomach for all the medication I need right now.
