Dude. Friday!

You know that commercial with Sally Field and that once a month pill for osteoporosis? Boniva, I think it's called? So the first line of that commercial is...

"I was talking to my girlfriend about her osteoporosis treatment, and she told me she has to set aside time ONE morning a WEEK to take her pill. Then I told her about once monthly Boniva."

Ok. What? SET ASIDE time? To swallow a tiny pill once a week? How much time do you need?

"Oh sorry, I can't meet you for coffee, Marge. No, lunch is out too. I have to take my pill. Yeah, I'm in for the day."

This is not the only medicine that doctors have tried to make "more convenient." The Pill [you know the one I'm talking about] is now available in every possible form. You put a sticker on your ass and leave it on for an entire month - and boom. No baby for you. There's that Pill commercial where the girl is complaining that while the Pill once freed women and gave them sexual independence, it now WEIGHS us down! How can WE POSSIBLY be expected to swallow a pill the size of an an ameba EVERY day? God the chains of oppression that hold us down! We must rise up against this and demand a quicker way! We don't have TIME to swallow. Make an inhalable birth control so all we have to do is BREATHE and we are safe.

Kills me.

Speaking of ridiculous, go to maps.google.com and hit the get directions link. Type in San Francisco to Amsterdam. Line 29 is my favorite.

Project Sick: Day II

9 hours of sleep + cold meds = (apparently) feeling worse. Who knew?

Enough about my failure of an immune system.

My car radio has a small screen that tells you what song is playing on any given station. Normally, it comes across the screen a few words at a time.

Yesterday, I was listening to HJY and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Stones was playing.

And my radio screen displayed this:

You Cant Alway's Gaet Wha:t You W'ant Ro'lli:ng Stoo;nes

I think I need to call Fergie Ferg asap. She is obviously an excellent speller. And could teach my radio a thing or two.
