hey kids...
sorry for the lack of updates. i have had zero energy lately. all i have to report is a series of boring health related events having to do with my stupid stomach. i never got moctezuma's revenge...i wish it was just that. emergency rooms, blood tests, upper GI xrays (barium...yummy), and ultrasounds. seems like i have a nasty case of acute gastritis and likely an ulcer. fun...although the xrays were interesting. i've never had such an interactive medical test. it was like an exercise or drill of sorts. they had me on this tilt-mechanized thing, and i had to drink 1. these crystal with just a little water. its like drinking alkaseltzer x100 and you are instructed NOT to burp which leaves you swallowing and gasping and holding your breath. 2. barium, which is like a poisonous metal that somehow magically does not leave the liquid agent but goes right through your body. it was sort of comical- they would be like "hold the barium in your left hand, now turn right. drink! stop drinking! turn back on your stomach and bend you left knee, now drink!" and so on for what seemed like an eternity.
thats probably way too much information but i found that particular drill rather amusing. anyway, thats all i really have to report. i've been dragging my ass to dance rehearsals regardless. we are choreographing a new blues dance which i do not want to miss.
anyway, in the interest of adding something spicy to this rather geriatric sounding entry...
