Does anyone I know in the Cork area have a recommendation for a chiropractor and/or masseuse? Because holy jupiter does my back hurt. I’d forgotten how much this sucks. Actually, this is a whole new kind of suckage, because it’s my middle back instead of my upper or lower. I’d like to get it fixed, and then, thanks, I’ve run the gamut of back pain and really, *really* don’t need to do it anymore.

When I heard they were making an Iron Man movie, I thought, “meh”. Then they cast Robert Downey Jr and I thought, “Ooh.” With the right script, I thought, that could be a hell of a movie. Downey’s perfect for the part. And, as photos have come out, it looks H-A-W-T hawt. I would, however, now go to see it if it were the worst comics movie ever filmed. If it was worse than Catwoman.

I’ve apparently been sleeping in some kind of weird position the last couple of nights, and my middle back hurts. I have no idea how I’m sleeping, but that’s clearly gotta stop. o.O Zilli appears to be sulking because I told him not to chew on his cast. He went into his cat carrier, presumably to Show Me. That’s good, because he needs to be there in half an hour anyway, as we’re going to the vet to (oh how I hope) get his cast off. I am only hopeful,…
