Some stuff. No clever title.
1. A week ago, I started having back pains. Turns out I have a kidney infection. I'm on antibiotics for ten days, though, so I'll probably be alright.
2. Also a week ago, my family got a new puppy. Her name is Mya, she's a black Boston Terrier/Cocker Spaniel mix (which the vet had never seen before), and she's a rescue dog. We think her breeder got shut down because we tried to check her webpage, and it had been disabled. Anyway, Mya had worms in her stomach and yeast in her ears, but she's all better now. I'll have to post a picture of her eventually (she doesn't mind having her picture taken; Scottie hated it, so we have few pictures of him). I still miss Scottie, but having another dog around helps. She's not a replacement by any means, though---they have/had very different personalities: he was attentive but aloof; she's squirrelly but affectionate. She's such a climber, though, which is totally new to me.
3. I said bye-bye to my Bear Jew icon and got an Eames icon that has lots of pretty color saturation. *stares* *sighs*
4. My dad, my brother, and I watched The Other Guys. It was so hilarious: I loved how it deconstructed all of the standard buddy-cop-action-movie tropes, from character personalities to action scenes. Danson and Highsmith (The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson's characters) were so ridiculously genre savvy that they forgot how physics works. Seriously, their last scene in the movie is burned in my brain forever. Allen and Terry (Will Ferrell and Marky-Mark Wahlberg), however, were so wonderfully clueless and neurotic that it just worked. But my favorite character was Captain Gene (Michael Keaton---I much prefer him as a comic actor than as Batman). He had to take a second job at Bed, Bath, and Beyond "to put a kid through NYU so he can explore his bisexuality and become a DJ." And then we see him running around in his Bed, Bath, and Beyond apron, discussing police-ish things, and it's so cute. Honestly, I have not laughed so hard in a long time.
