So, I'm tired of everything tasting like metal.
I know the antibiotics are helping me, curing me of a terrible, wasting disease and all that, but I hate the nasty metallic aftertaste they leave in my mouth. It's like licking the cheap, stainless steel, diner spoon after stirring sugar into your ice tea.
Oh, and what they're doing to my insides! The other day I belched so loud my dog jumped and ran for cover.

This week's theme is crazy pictures on the Internet.

Guess who has pneumonia?

For those of you who have expressed concern for my health, I thought I'd let everyone know that I have an appointment to see a doctor Tuesday afternoon.

I'm feeling very domestic this month.

I'm not sure if it was the four more bags of junk I threw out last night, or the six more bags I have to donate to the Salvation Army, or just moving furnature around, but I'm really enjoying home related links this month. Maybe I'm just nesting. In any case, following with the theme from last week, here are some more very strange domestic links that struck my fancy.

As a fourth-generation Chicagoan, I celebrate this day a little differently.

Both at once.

A friend I've never met has started a very interesting blog project. She describes it as "a mix of Post Secret and The Beauty Myth (by Naomi Wolf)" but, it's about self-image and self-discovery. About how something we start out disliking about ourselves becomes something that sets us apart from everyone else. Often, it's a physical characteristic, but not always.
It was envisioned as a project for the female persuasion, but, well, Amanda was kind enough to let me contribute, even though I'm a 'boy".

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day.

So, Saturday, I had lunch with my minister.
Now, when he reads this, I have no doubt that he'll balk at the title of this post, but, for me, it's no less true. In fact, that was half the reason I wanted to get together with him.

So, today, my Friday Fun Links have a theme.

I didn't do anything bad today.
