I am a bit stunned today. Went to kung fu class last night and woke up this morning NOT IN PAIN. I'm just as surprised as you are. I think the key is lots of water, 800mg ibuprofen and 1 muscle relaxant. This weekend is open sparring and I'm trying to talk Simon into coming and playing with some of the big dogs from the other schools. He keeps wanting to spar with me and then his testosterone takes control and he ends up being a jerk. He needs to play with boys.
Speaking of which, Simon came back from Colorado with a beard. Not a grizzly adams scruffy beard but a closely trimmed beard. I'm not quite sure if I like it. The whole rug burn effect when we kiss isn't very pleasant. I just tell myself I'm exfoliating and I'd normally have to pay big bucks at the spa to get this done. What's with the beard anyway? Why do men like to do that? I like the boyish charm of a clean shaven face. Maybe I'll do payback by refusing to shave my legs until he shaves his face.

I found a bunch of reviews on the net about The Medallion and it seems like I'm the only one who liked it. Funny. Save it for a matinee or somewhere you can drink a beer, like the Bagdhad. I'm feeling like absolute crap today. My head hurts, my stomach is tetchy and my chest hurts. I really don't want to go to the doctor again. I'm tired of all the wheeling and dealing I have to do with Kaiser to get an appointment. My normal doctor is "out of the office for a few weeks" which I'm thinking means she had a baby and is on maternity leave. Which is cool. I mean, you go, girl. But it leaves me without a primary care physician in HMO Hell. If I call for an appointment I have to prove that I'm really sick enough to warrant an appointment so they put me through to the advice nurse where I get put on hold for 30 minutes or more (I am not exagerrating, I wish I were) waiting for her to ask what the hell is wrong with me. I could go to Urgent Care but they hear the words "chest pain" and send me to the hospital side and do a complete cardiac work up on me. Again. Then I get sent back to urgent care and wait for an additional 45 minutes until a physician's assistant can see me. It takes hours and hours and hours just to get treated. Which is probably the point so people won't actually use their health insurance.

Went and saw The Medallion on Sunday night. I liked it a lot, I'd give it an 8 on a scale from 1-10. Lee Evans provided some comedy relief and Claire Forlani played the spurned love interest. I heard she even did some of the stunts herself. Julian Sands who played the nefarious Snakehead made a delicious bad guy. He's not what I consider an action star but he held his own and frankly I didn't care. Julian Sands could pounce around on stage for an hour and a half and I'd still leave happy. There was a lot of wire-fu but enough Jackie Chan free-style stunts and fu to keep the traditionalists happy. Unlike Bulletproof Monk (aka Dude, Where's My Scroll?) The Medallion's magical effects are slowly revealed throughout the film, although I didn't understand why the kid walked off into a vortex at the end of the movie.
Monday I did nothing but lay in bed or on the couch, I couldn't seem to motivate myself to do anything. I couldn't tell if I was tired or depressed. Went for a walk in the evening with Simon, just a short two mile jaunt around our neighborhood. It was nice. Simon says he's widening his job search for other states now. He's looking in Colorado, Washington and Colorado. If you know of anyone who needs someone with a master's degree in business and background in insurance underwriting, let me know.
