men and movies and rattling lungs
There are many adjectives that can describe what is happening in my lungs right now. Juicy is one that comes to mind. There�s this really interesting rattle happening in there that worries me a bit and I am continually coughing, occasionally choking up green stuff, but I can�t really do much about it at present. I could go to a walk-in clinic, but they never listen to me and never want to give me anything that will help. I could go to the ER, but I�m really not that poorly off so that seems wasteful, especially when I see the doc on Monday anyway. He�ll send me for x-rays and give me antibiotics and tell me to take it easy. I could write the script for this appointment, I�ve done it so many times before.
I get through tomorrow, I have 3 days off to rest and veg out. I�ll rent some more dirty anime (they have Homeroom Affairs Vol.2 and some Sailor Moon with the original unedited dialogue) and maybe something else girly. I�m not into �chick flicks� really� romantic comedies make me feel ill. Every time one of my girlfriends would drag me to one, I could feel my brain cells deteriorating with each clich�d plot twist. If a movie has Sandra Bullock or Meg Ryan in it, I�m just not interested. So I�m not a typical girl, so sue me. What I mean by girly is one of the more serious dramas that my brothers or the b/f would never sit still through. I don�t know, most guys seem to think that if a movie doesn�t involve A) WWII, B) crazed zombies, C) government conspiracies or D) gratuitous sex, violence and/or gore, then it is just not cool. Oh, I nearly forgot- many men (but not all) like slapstick and toilet humour. Hence the popularity of Tom Green and the 3 Stooges. If you made a movie about a secret government conspiracy during WWII to cover up female soldiers in camoflauge bikinis fighting brain-eating zombies, you could make millions.
