Indy Pride

it's Pride weekend here in Indianapolis. alas, i'm not sure how much i'm gonna be able to participate since i'm feeling so weird. *shrug*

an evening in the emergency room...

spent last night in the emergency room because i was feeling weird. Docs seem to think it's a Tegretol overdose. the whole thing's just crazy - call my family doc's office cuz that's what medicaid demands - they shrug their shoulders (over the phone, that is) and tell me i should just go to the emergency room, that they'll probably have to run tests that they couldn't do at the doc's office. go to the emergency room and they ask me "why are you here?" cuz that's what my doc told me, i tell them. so they draw some blood, gimme a bag of saline because i may be dehydrated, and give me a pill to make the room stop spinning. then they make me wait...and wait...and wait...mom's going crazy - eventually we find out that the tegretol level had to get sent out, that's why it's taking longer...then after more waiting we find out that they declined to put "STAT" on the sample, so that's why it's taking so friggin long. i was okay (prolly cuz of the drugs that gave me, which included a small dose of Ativan - woo hoo!) but mom was climbing the walls. they tell me their best guess is that i've overdosed on my Tegretol, and send me home. er, exxxcuse me? what do i do about taking my meds that evening, 3 of which are tegretol pills? oh, go ahead and take everything. so, i might be overdosing on something and your solution is for me to take more of it? err, well, take only 2 of em, and follow up with your neurologist. so that i did. call the neurologists office, they tell me i'm scheduled in July, that's the soonest they can see me - excuse me?!?!? spent the night in the emergency room and yet they can't follow up with me until late july? so they tell me they'll have a doc call back. he agrees with the er doc's assessment and we'll cut back the tegretol and see how it goes. how completely fucking vague. arghhhhh

break out "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" tonight...

my date book gives info on the phases of the moon, and apparently there's a new moon tonight. that means it's time to dig up the Duran Duran music - "New Moon On Monday" was released in 1983.

*sigh* oh, they're soooo dreamy. errrr, well, they were when i was 11, 12, 13 years old. simon lebon, such a hunky lead singer...but oh, nick rhodes, doing keyboards in his wild hair and crazy makeup...LOL

of course, i think it's their fault i turned into a big ol' dyke - i remember watching the unrated version of the "Girls On Film" video - topless chicks having pillow fights...*sigh* those were the days...

hrmmm, their site says they're coming to indy on July 24 - tickets are $59.50 - ouch!!

bumper sticker of the day...

this one made me laugh...

You almost have a full deck, however you are one jack off

heh heh heh...

Queer As Folk and Sharon Gless

tonight was another episode of the final season of Queer As Folk (the us version, that is) - i must say, showtime really fucked up by leaving such huge gaps between seasons...it's hard to get back into it. i suspect another reason it's difficult to get into it is that the show's just a complete downer - everybody's pissed at everybody, and there's just such a negative tone over the whole thing. it really sucks...

one thing i always found amusing was that my MOTHER would usually remind me about QAF being on - sometimes i think she liked it more than me. kinda weird watching a tv show with your mother and the gayboys are doin the nasty, but we both enjoyed the show.

sharon gless is definitely a highlight to the show - and wouldn't ya know it, her birthday was last week. i was shocked to see that she's 62. SIXTY-TWO?!?!? enjoy the Social Security benefits, Officer Cagney...
