That's one of my favorite lines from Scarface. It's on TV tonight and I just made Heather watch some of it with me while we ate dinner. Fun flick.
Bitch. Lesbian.
No specific subject or theme of this post, I felt like sharing a few thoughts and updates from over the past week. I'm 42 days out from my transplant which is a long way away from where I need to be, but is an impressive number in its own rite. Moving forward at least.
Earlier in the summer, Heather told me about three older women she saw in our neighborhood who all wear homemade dresses, big floral mumus. A few weeks ago we were taking a walk and I got to see them. One woman in a big green mumu and the other two wearing pink ones. I can only imagine they are related and maybe two of them are twins or something. Very bizarre. When my dad was visiting me yesterday, we took a walk and I tell him about the women. Five seconds later a big white Cadillac drives towards us and in the front seat, two pink mumus, and in the back, one green mumu. Heather and I saw them again today in front of their house, with a big orange cat.

| Baby asparagus from tonight's dinner |
While we were watching Scarface there was a commercial for some drug called Lyrica and it made me think how the names of drugs and the names of cars are pretty similar. Seinfeld did a bit where the car companies "mangle a positive word into a car name." He names Integra, Supra, Impreza. Well you can add Lyrica, Viagra, Mirapex, etc. Drug companies must have the same approach. After dinner I did the dishes and as I was rinsing out the tomato sauce can, I was overcome by a horrible smell. I smelled the can. Smelled like fish, disgusting. Just a heads up to all you chefs out there.
Heather just got accepted for a research position at a lab while she attends graduate school this year. Congrats babe! Now that she and Zack will both be working in labs, it is appropriate that I end with one of my favorite songs (and Zack's anthem). Expect a post on this album in the future. Until next time...
You just punch the clock, too scared to punch your boss
Recently saw a commercial for a drug called Xeljanz which is the weirdest name, I was thinking about it in a similar way to your idea above. You seem to be doing well post-transplant, hope it keeps getting better and better! -Julia
ReplyDeleteThere is probably some kind of algorithm or something to determine what combination of letters penetrates our brains the best
DeleteAnother great post! Thanks for eating the world's cutest asparagus.
ReplyDeleteI tried to get my rheumatologist to give me Lyrica, but you have to take like 3/4 unrelated medications then have them fail. It doesnt have a generic. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteThose ladies will probably be every where now that you guys are on the look out for them.
I love DK and asparagus
Go figure, there are so many rules that come with prescriptions, drugs, insurance, etc. I run out of pills at different times and often I try to refill them all and then have to wait to refill another, or like yesterday I went to pick up one I had called in and there was a delay with insurance. "Trust Your Mechanic" is another applicable DK song here. Hope your'e doing well
