Happy Summer Solstice everybody.
Nothing really new to report from here.
I am still sick, passing kidney stones just about every week, the shoulder hasn't been hurting too bad since the weather's been fairly nice (although there have been threats of thunderstorms the past couple of nights, there's been no sign of any nasty clouds).
I have updated my movie reviews site (see Rob's Reviews here) with my take on The Da Vinci Code, X-Men: The Last Stand, DreamWorks' Over The Hedge, Mission: Impossible: III and I have seen but have yet to write-up Pixar's Cars (though I will say it's a fun movie, Pixar never disappoints) - go check 'em out (the Reviews and then the movies)!
My folks have gone to upstate New York for about a week (my father takes a vacation every year around his birthday, it's on the 24th - this year he's 70!) and my sis & her family will be going down the shore next weekend for a week (not sure if I'm going to go - it would be nice, though I haven't been asked and being broke will make the decision pretty hard, though God knows I need to get the hell away from my solitary confinement for a breather....).
There's a new new show on NBC that caught my eye called Treasure Hunters, it's a reality show (if you can really call it that since it's an orchestrated race - like The Mole or The Amazing Race) with Da Vinci Code-like clues that teams have to solve to get "keys" that will eventually unlock some kind of "treasure". It's actually pretty good (the Opener had 5 groups of 3-person "teams" in Alaska, but unbenkownst to them, 3,000 miles away in Hawaii, there were another 5 groups of 3-person "teams", they eventually wind up face-to-face in Loncoln, Nebraska!).
Anyway, there's now only 12 days left until my 36th birthday. Sigh.
36, chronically sick and broke
I feel like I'm 80 and I haven't been able to do anything productive in over 10 years now.
I'm a useless hunk of flesh.
So why am I still here?
I know I will never make it to 40
