My week off has quickly transformed into a week of medical appointments. My mother's concerns over the insane shortage of doctors in Ontario means that everytime I come back to St. A, I spend a good chunk of my time getting cavities filled, peeing in cups, and endlessly staring at the white walls in waiting rooms, all in an attempt to maintain my salubrity (which means "good health," one of the many fancy words I learned while studying vocabulary for my GRE this weekend).
However, today was a very productive visit to the doctor's office. While lazing forever in his office, my doctor/former Student Works Painting client randomly stormed into the room, looked at me and said, "You need Accutane." FINALLY!!! I've literally been waiting for years for the day when my doctor finally prescribed this miracle drug to me. Sure, it can potentially cause liver damage and eczema, but it will make me look pretty again! Yes, I'm aware that that's a very shallow thing to say, but my pulchritude (meaning "beauty") is at stake!
On a less health-related note, I saw The Runaways yesterday. It was actually really good, even though it only got a 62 on Rotten Tomatoes. Seeing Dakota Fanning as a coked-out trainwreck pretty much made my week. Here's the preview if you've never heard of it:

- Heyo, my name's Marc, but I'm regularly referred to as Curtis by my extended family. I'm from a town where every household has at least 3 cars and a healthy supply of vinyl siding. I go to school in Waterloo, Ontario, and spend much of the year bouncing back and forth between Alberta and Ontario, while bringing along all the emotional baggage that comes with such a lifestyle. Oh, and my friend named a dance move after me.
