i'm thinking about getting metal legs.

just some randoms:

-otis day and the knights aren't (at least aren't supposed to be) a real band. apparently, "my man" otis was a random character actor named dewayne jessie, who got hired to play the tiny role of otis. immediately following the movie, the popularity of his two scenes had booking agents from all over the country booking the fake band at clubs and frat parties. to this (otis) day, the knights are still touring the country. this leads to a few conclusions: 1. apparently being able to play "shout" and "shamalama ding dong" over and over and over is apparently more profitable than singing glam metal songs about big butts and dwarven druidian monuments, hence otis day is still playing and spinal tap is not. 2. if i ever have another party, the knights are gonna play.

-those HP commercials saying "the computer is personal again" are the biggest loads of crap. apparently all other computers aren't personal because you cannot watch a DVD without booting up or etch labels onto CDRs. the fact that a huge company spent lots of money to make commercials that only ignorant assholes would ever fall for leads me to believe that there must be many more ignorant assholes than i had originally predicted. i can just imagine someone in best buy looking at a dell pc and saying to the salesperson, "no, i want one of those HPs...they're more geared to my personal needs." and now i just threw up in my mouth a little.

-i don't know why people take percocet for recreational purposes. i was on it (3 pills every 4-5 hours) for about a week, and never felt the euphoria people talked about. the only time i felt a really nice feeling was after my surgery when they gave me four doses of demerol and two percs all at once (yeah, i have a high tolerance). in fact, i actually stopped using the percocet early in order to be able to drink beer again...not really sure what that says about me and my habits, but it wouldn't have been the obvious choice for someone who just had a tendon ripped out of their knee then screwed into their bones.

-i watched one episode of nip/tuck and i saw: a breast-fondling dwarf male nurse, hash-brownie fueled visions of a satan personification fucking an 18 year old girl, a husband killing his dog after finding out his wife was lathering her clam with peanut butter to get the dog to take care of her biznass, and lesbian organ thieves. i don't know whether this means i should never watch it again, or that i should rent all the last seasons and catch up.

-physical therapy sucks. especially when the session begins each time with a hamstring deep tissue massage that makes me bite my finger to the point of drawing blood. i have a really high tolerance for pain...i voluntarily stopped the percs despite the constant pain...i caught a running circular saw in my thigh when i was 14 and finished the day of work at the construction job...i ran almost a mile with a dislocated elbow and two sprained ankles...but this is close to unbearable.

time to ice the knee and have some more beer.
