Christopher's Eggarama

My good friend Christopher has an Easter Egg coloring party every year.. at least the past six years and it's such a fun time to hang out with friends and paint easter eggs. This year I managed to paint a full dozen of eggs (normally it's only six) and it was a ton of fun. Harry did not attend but my good friend Bruce did and he and I had a great time painting out eggs together. Christopher has some great friends and it's always nice to hang out with them. Can't wait for next year.

Work Is Almost Over

Today is the last day of Offline Editing for Big Medicine. We finally finished our 13th episode. So far 11 episodes have been complete and are in the can and we have two more to do 212 next week and 213 the week after that and then I have one week to clean up and I'm done with Big Medicine.

Still don't have a clue what I'm doing next. There is talk here at The Idea Factory of more work but they can't give me a start date. I also have an interview next week with my former Line Producer working on a show for NBC. So keep your fingers crossed.

Doctors Visit

Well it's been a year since I have been to the doctors and I have been having some issues lately so I figured it was a good time to visit. I had an appointment today with Dr. Mills. When I was looking for a doctor I really wanted a gay doctor and my friend Bruce recommended Dr. Mills. He is a really nice guy even though I've only had one office visit. So today was my second visit with Dr. Mills. I have been having some chest tightening and I continue to deal with my sever case of hemorrhoids. The doc did his examination and said that the chest pains could be from heartburn and prescribed me some medication. As for the hemorrhoids he refereed me to a colon specialist and prescribed me some medication to temporarily relieve some pain. He also did an EKG of my heart to make sure there is nothing wrong there... so it's off to the colon specialist for me. Getting old really sucks.

Fixing the Tire

Well I got up early today to try and get they stripped lug nut off the tire so I could change it.. after an hour or so of trying I finally gave up and decided to call AAA. They sent someone out and who tried and remove the lug nut but they had no luck. So he called a tow truck and we towed the Jeep a few blocks away to the local Pep Boys (which btw I hate.. long story). They informed me that it was cost me $45 to remove the lug nut. At that time I didn't care I just wanted it done. About and hour later they start working on my Jeep. Using their high power "impactor" tool they had the lug off in two seconds. I ask for them to put my spare tire on because the tire they took off was under warranty and I was going to take it back to the place and have them fix it. As he took my spare off he called me over to show me a nail in my spare tire. He said he would have to fix it before they could put it on.. that would cost an additional $25. I figure since I was fixing a tire I might as well have them fix the good tire instead of the spare. He also informed me that all my lug nuts were starting to strip and I should replace them all. Of course they don't have the same ones I use so now I have funky looking lugs on that tire but it holds it on. Also my Jeep has five lugs and they sell the lugs in packs of four.. so yep I had to buy two packs. Needless to say two hours later and $80 poorer I got my tired fixed and I head home to try and enjoy my Sunday off.
