Ugh, it's hot, it's humid (for Denver... 60%), and my back is out. I know it's muscles, but that doesn't offer a solution. I'm okay when sitting down or standing up, but going between the two is pure hell. I'm experimenting with OTC painkillers, but none of them seem to help. Aleve, Advil, Tylenol, aspirin... why did I throw out my unused Vicodin prescription? I never had pain from the surgical procedure that it was prescribed for, so I tossed it when it reached expiration. Never took a single one. Same thing with the Valium sent to me by Mom a few years ago.


I can't wait to finish this temp job. As you might guess, answering phones, running errands, filing things etc. is NOT helping my back.

Just saw a stupid movie called "Big Trouble" on Comedy Central. Loads of character actors from other things: a teenage Trillian from the "Hitchhiker's Guide" movie, the guy who played "The Tick" on the short-lived TV show, Tim Allen... you get the idea. Every scene has another familiar person that you can't quite place. It makes me think of "Yellowbeard", which starred several "Monty Python" alums, Marty Feldman, and David Bowie (as a shark). Bad movie, but fun for playing "Name That Actor".
