Cuts like a Knife

Wow, I must be in a weird mood if I am busting out the Bryan Adams references. I am two days post ACL surgery and boy does it hurt. Imagine - hot poker in the side of the knee while it is being squished in a vice. Unpleasant. Plus I have to wear the bitch ass Immobilizer which is like the most annoying thing in the world. I feel like there could be a cartoon about the Immobilizer. Where it is generally good natured but is always doing to wrong thing and getting its ass kicked through no fault of its own.

I know I shouldn't hate the Immobilizer, it keeps my knee from buckling. Yet I do. Its a punk ass bitch. I feel bad for not immobilizer recycling though. It occurred to me later that I could have brought the one from my last surgery with me to reuse, but I didn't do that. Now I have two. Maybe when I have my return to rollerskating birthday party in august, I will burn them.

Fuck that, it is all about the Cabbage Patch

The Running Man is on right now, even though the movie is total shit I can't help but love both Richard Dawson and Jesse Ventura in it. The actors least likely.

Airbrush this!

Mike has been helping me out during my period of invalidcy. He bought me March's Playboy and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. I think I am going to get a subscription. From why you have to spend $20,000 on a stereo system to naked Debbie Gibson, it is a brilliant piece of literary work. Not yet convinced? Check out this joke:

A third-grade teacher asked one of her students to spell the work straight. The boy did so. Then the teacher asked "What is the definition of the word?"
The boy replied "Without Ice."

Oh my god, that witty Playboy slays me. Wait, what year is this? If you would like to get back to me on that, you will find me by the hifi sipping my martini.

Mike put the centerfold up on the door of the bathroom but then when I told him she was only 19, he promptly took it down. I think I had witnessed the moment in Mike's life where he discovered he was old enough that "barely legal" just seemed gross. I would argue that she is so airbrushed, she isn't really human anyway so why does it matter?

Protocol

Aside from Mike coming to wait on me hand and foot ("Can you turn on the stereo? Can you buy me ice cream?" I am being a baby, though it is so uncharacteristic of me that I think I am entitled), I am doing a self imposed social isolation. I don't like people to see me when I can't shower properly, which is to say, standing up. But suprisingly I am missing someone a lot more than I thought I would. So much so that I have had to fight off buying them a overly expensive gift that they recently mentioned a bunch of times in casual conversation. It would be against all sorts of protocol to purchase it so I am not going to do it. But sometimes I wish that there weren't any rules and we could always do what we feel like.

Evan, where are you?

Are you so "Out" that you are done? (out in quotes looks a lot gayer than I expected, please excuse any unintended suggestion)

Job - gone

After months of wondering, lamenting etc, I have found out that I am indeed going to lose my job. They will tell me to move to NY and when I say no, I will be terminated. I have been asked a couple of times why I don't just go to NY. Why would I move for a job that I hate more than life itself? Just to avoid financial ruin? That seems shallow. Seriously, I don't think it will be financial ruin but it will be hard. It's okay, I have had a good run and I am all about finding a job that I will like more. I am sure that will be much to my money "borrowing" (as in I never see it again) family's dismay.
