Ambien CR
* I really need some of that. I've been sleeping like crap. Perhaps I'll ask my therapist for some (or, perhaps, a cute doctor who likes my blog will send me some free samples. Thanks). I really should have gone into pharmacology. I seem to know more about drugs than he does. I'm serious.
My pharmacy has moved. This sux cuz it was so close before. Now I have to walk, like, far. The worst thing is they have moved next door to a popular gay bath house. Yeah, um, if you see me walking in that direction, I am going to the pharmacy, got it?
I walk into my pharmacy. A pleasant man asks, "Can I help you?" I say, "Hi. I need to pick up a prescription. My last name is...." Before I start saying my name, he has scurried off to find my prescription. I'm sorry, have we been introduced before? That's sad. I'm the "Norm" of my pharmacy. This can't be good.
I used to live in a building called the Wardman. Such a fun time. It was like living in "Tales of the City" or "Melrose Place." We all knew each other. I really miss it. But it's no longer like that. Most of the originals have moved on but we're all still in contact and good friends.
Anyway, we did have a Mrs. Madgrigal type figure in the building. He was such a character. Anytime I had trouble sleeping, Mrs. Magrigal would say, "Honey, just come on up here and let me get ya something to make you sleep through the night." So I would. And I would sleep like a baby. I miss those days. And Mrs. Madgrigal.
* The movie is called "Brokeback Mountain," not "Bareback Mountain." Calling it "Bareback Mountain" was funny in November. It's December.
* I hate when people tell me that I look like someone. If I don't know the person that I "look like," I, instinctively, ask if I can see what the other person looks like. This is always a mistake. My good friend, Joe, told me I looked like some guy from bigmuscle.com. Of course, this intrigued me because the majority of men on that site are HOT. So Joe shows me who I supposedly look like. I look at the photo, then I look at Joe and say, "Joe, I don't have Down's Syndrome. Do I look like I have Down's Syndrome? Oh my God." He says no. I don't believe him. "Well, according to this picture, if I don't look like I have Down's, I certainly look like I could work at Melwood." Not that there is anything wrong with it, just not my type.
Moral of the story: Never ask for proof.

Mrs. Madrigal was also always good for a laugh... she had some one-liners that damn near knocked me off the Wardman stoop... or was it her margaritas... maybe a combo of both?
If I makes you feel any better I slept like crap too I finally got up at 2:30 and took a lunesta... still prolly didn't sleep much before 3 and woke up at 5:55 and snoozed until 6:30... i'm functioning on caffeine and adrenalin basically... no idea why i couldn't sleep, I've been sleeping like a log lately! Think it was working late and being all worked up from trying to stay awake from that!

I think it's the short days, and the fact that we are not setting our internal clocks to 'day' setting when it is actually 'daytime'. You have the luxury of being able to work from home....so try going out for a 30 minute walk in the direct sunshine to set your clock to 'day' and 'night'. I know it's cold as hell outside, but hey, at least you can do a daytime stroll and get some photons in your skull.
You look like some dude I macked with once who has very strong lips.

Yeah I'm with you on being told you look like someone. I have a customer who keeps insisting I look like Bo Bice.
When he first said it I had no idea who he was talking about. I returned home that night and google revealed just what an insult it was. My hair is buzzed short and I just can't imagine how I could look remotely like that American Idol guy...

I'll be your Mrs. Madrigal. :)
Just call your GayDoctor™ and get some Ambien and then you'll be fine. :)

I'm still reeling over the fact the computer thinks I look like Liza Minelli... I am so clearly butch-er than her! Well almost :-P

Everywhere I go, people are sure that they have seen me somewhere else before. Even when I'm hundreds of miles away from home in a place that I have never been to before, people look at me all strange and swear all up and down that they know me from somewhere. They're so sure that they've seen my face before. I guess I'm just ordinary and common...
When I was younger and had no facial hair, I was told all of the time that I looked like Ferris Bueller. That was pretty cool. Nowadays, I get mistaken for Tom Greene every now and then, not as much now as when he was actually popular. I'm not sure if that's cool or not...
