hm. so i just got back from my 2.5 hour consultation with this chiropractic neurologist. he did a lot of tests on me (it was a rather grueling evaluation), and concluded that the right side of my brain is messed up. he was more specific about it, but i just didn't understand his jargon.
so, i have a whole bunch of exercises (like taping a red piece of film to the left side of my eyeglasses, or staring at my left thumb for 4 minutes at a time), designed to "stimulate" my right cortex or basal ganglia or whatever it is. very interesting stuff, although i admit that some of it is sort of hokey and unbelievable.
but i'm resigned to try anything and everything to get rid of my tics. we'll see what happens in a few months of seeing this dude.
on another note, i'm glad that my weekend is about to start soon! i've got a potential dinner with jay plus a birthday party tonight, a housewarming party plus dinner appointment tomorrow, and an hr girl rendezvous on sunday. i'm excited to be doing something for a change rather than sitting on my ass all weekend long. i just hope my tics cooperate. :/
let's see... what else has been happening? the garlic burrito i got yesterday was MARVELOUS, except that it gave me a rather sphincter-stinging dump this morning. oops. too much hot sauce, i suppose. and the football game was pretty good, although i watched _joey_ in the middle of it, and the tv show was rather disappointing.
i had the gemelli at pasta pomodoro today for lunch. it's really good! i usually stay away from pasta restaurants because i think $10 is a lot of money to pay for a bowl of pasta, but this gemelli tastes great. it gave me sort of a food coma afterwards, though, but i still liked it. in fact, i'm burping it up as i type this. yum!
next monday, i'm taking my car in for its 60,000 mile checkup. sigh. it's been a great four years with my beloved car, and i hope to keep it indefinitely. i'll be sad when i have to say goodbye to my trusty honda. *sniff* i can't believe it's been 60K miles already!
ok, not much else to report. i just want this weekend here already. i'm sort of bummed that it'll be a full workweek next week, as i've had 4-day workweeks these past two rounds. ick. i hate work.
