I dropped Mom off at LaGuardia Saturday afternoon after a very nice visit. Was really great to have her here. Beforehand I wasn't quiiiite sure how well two weeks was gonna work, but I shouldn't have worried. We had lots of fun and I reclaimed my Boggle throne, so it's all good.

I think I ate too much good food (esp. raw oysters) while she was here--I'm getting a flare-up of gout in my big toe. Yes, I get the gout. I blame the old man for giving me these genes. Haven't had it in a long time, so I guess I'm due. Serious bummer. If you hear someone screaming in pain in a day or two, that's me after letting the bedsheet hit my toe.

Good lord, this is really funny: a pro_gout community.

I still had most of the day in front of me after dropping Mom off, so I knocked around in the city and spent money I really didn't have. Went up by Columbia and ate at the pizza joint I used to frequent, walked around campus a bit, and stopped in at the record store. And what did I find but Britney, Baby, One More Time on DVD?!? For joy! Anything with Mark Borchardt and/or Mike Schank and I'm there, dude. To be truthful, though, I was pretty disappointed. To paraphrase Mark himself, the acting is stillted and the dialogue would make the pope weep. It's quite bad, actually. I hope there's not an American Movie curse, though it's quite possible, as director Chris Smith's followup, Home Movie, sucks dick too. And I wasn't too crazy about Storytelling, which featured Mike Schank in a small role. Oh well.



I'm having a really hard time with stuff like two/too/to and their/they're lately. When I used "too" above, I actually had down "twoo" for a brief moment. I had a bad run of this some time back. I can't figure it out why it's happening--I'm not even taking goofballs or anything. Maybe I'm just getting stupider. :\

OMG, that's totally me! I don't drink beer anymore, but otherwise it's perfect! Even my mouth is all squiggly.

I was having a horrible time trying spell "mathematics" earlier today. I think it's because I don't read books much anymore. Doh.

Maybe the gout is from oysters? I know certain meats like chicken livers cause it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the oysters are the culprit. I had 'em like four times in the last two weeks, and they're high in purines. And I had lamb once too, and one time when I ate that I had a bad outbreak almost immediately. So I guess I'm paying the price for living high on the hawg. :\
