Not Much Here

I haven't anything that's earth-shattering to report, so I'll just stick with the mundane. I rearranged my room three nights ago, and I must say that the change is quite remarkable. It appears that I now have so much more space, when all I did was shift my bed over to the next wall and place the other furniture around it accordingly. I actually did the work in three hours three nights ago, after watching this really weird Don Johnson movie, called The Hot Spot. I had planned on doing something to my room that night, but only if I started moving things by eleven. I didn't want to be up half of the night, you see. Well, I was ready to turn the TV off at 10:30 when lo and behold I see The Hot Spot, 1990, with Don Johnson, Jennifer Connelly, and Virginia Madsen. Well, I just had to investigate it - Don Johnson and Jennifer Connelly? Well, from the get-go I could tell it was going to be a weird movie, and I kept watching it wondering how weird it could get. Very weird. Anyway, I saw enough to know that the bronzed skin Don Johnson sports in every film is not his normal tone and it does not cover his entire body - there are some spots that are quite pale. So, at midnight, when I was through with that movie, I went to my room and said, what the hell, why not? So I spent the next three hours moving things around, and the rest is history.

I went to the hospital today to get the results of my lab work. Everything is just right. Amazingly right, in my opinion. Apparently, aside from the way I look, I am the picture of good health. My cholesterol is low, my fasting-blood-sugar is good, my triglycerides are great - there's no problem anywhere. Except I got the impression that my doctor was trying to say that I am overweight. I don't know if it's the number of times she mentioned I should excercise several times a week, or the number of times she said I could go to their wellness center and talk to the people there to work out a healthy diet, or the number of times she said I could see these people here who were not really personal trainers but they could help me create a work out schedule, or if it was the number of times she said that getting down to my ideal weight would benefit me both physically and mentally. Somewhere in there, I think, she was trying to tell me that I need to lose weight. And she would be right, but I am lazy and comfortable where I am, so don't hold your breath.

The last time I went to the hospital, for my physical (such a lovely time), my blood pressure was way up there - 146/98. My Dad (who was with me) said it was White Coat Shock. Although my impending physical with a Doctor I had never met before was doing nothing to lower my blood pressure, I didn't think the condition White Coat Shock existed. But, as I found out today, I was wrong. It actually does exist and it is one of the driving forces behind the latest fad of home Blood Pressure Checking machines. Apparently these people (myself included?) have normal blood pressures that increase dramatically when they go to the hospital and see doctors in their white coats. How interesting. My at home blood pressure is just below 120/80, so no worries there.

In other news, I am still quite hung up on Ryan Stiles. He is so cute! I haven't any idea why he is so appealing to me now, but I can't help my self! I have to watch him for an hour at eight on BBC America, and then for another hour at ten on ABC Family. And tonight is a three hour marathon of Whose Line is it Anyway? Yay! There is some funny stuff on that show! I can't tell if it's Colin Mochrie's singing about Chip having a small penis or if it's Ryan's singing about Drew Carey being rolled back into the ocean by Greenpeace, or if it's Clive Anderson's little quips about the scoring or the point system. Or maybe it's seeing Wayne act like the entire Klump family from The Nutty Professor, or if it's Colin having to act like a fly, or if it's Ryan acting like a "wary bird trying to build a nest but keeps getting scared away," and then having Jeff try to guess what they all are. Or maybe it's the entire crew acting out a cut scene from Braveheart, where they have to take a shower, and then Colin pipes up with this little granny - scotsman's voice, "Eh, I don't want me freedom." What always gets me is when the actual actors can't help themselves and they start laughing, and then they try to hide it, which just makes it worse, and they end up falling on the floor, clutching their sides trying to breathe. Like when they played the game "dead bodies," where Colin had to act out a scene using the other actors who have mysteriously died, so he just moves them around like manequins while they just flop there - like Steven Frost, whose head just flopped into Ryan's lap (a little higher up, actually) and stayed there, face down, with Ryan trying to maintain the expression of one recently deceased and failing miserably. Whatever it is, I laugh hysterically at it all. I hope they bring the show back (they cancelled it last year).

That's all for now, stay good!
