Today I had my 14th radiation treatment out of a total of 27 which means I am halfway there and it's all downhill from here. Still handling the radiation pretty well, my throat's a bit raw but nothing significant yet. Chemo starts up again on Monday so those next two weeks are likely to be the hardest. I'm rugging up for it at the moment mostly by trying to keep active and eating and sleeping. Sleeping is the hardest tho, I only seem to be able to sleep about 6 hours a night - I will meet w/both Dr I and Dr M on Monday so I'm going to ask them about possible causes of the insomnia and ways to deal w/it. Still, I can just deal w/it for the next couple of weeks if necessary.
So tonight I'm going to see 'Borat' - I'm a bit dubius about the whole thing but I'm going w/a friend who lived in Kazakhstan for 3 years so it should be interesting to hear his views. Tomorrow night I'm going to a broadway show 'The Drowsy Chaperon' and on Saturday to 'Urinetown' in m/so. Still haven't decided what to do on Sunday so I'm going to give it a think but overall it's shaping up to be a good weekend.
Been listening to satellite radio and loving it. A lot of great songs that I'd completely forgotten about and new stuff that's really cool - at this point I recommend it to anyone who's getting tired of broadcast stations.
Finally watched 'Dinner at 8' the other night - really cool movie. Old style of movie making, looks and sounds like a play - the acting was fun and the dialogue was great.
Gotta head to the movie, wish me luck ;)

Borat?! High 5! I think most of the locations that were supposed to be Kazakhstan were actually shot in Grod, Romania.

Saw the movie - as I expected, not really my kind of humor but there were some parts where I laughed outloud. Overall, not great, not bad, shoulda waited for the dvd.
Alex said that he'd expected it to be a bit more of a parody of kazakhstans too but the characters really weren't sterotypical kazakhstanies and he's a bit confused why it was banned in Russia as it really only does make fun of America.
Dave - yeah, that's what I understand and they're planning to sue. Be interesting to see how that works itself out.
Mom - heard Queen is quite good but it doesn't sound like my cup of tea. There's one out now about Mozart starring Ed Harris that I'm quite interested in seeing - Copying Beethoven I believe it's called.

It was nice seeing you at the Strollers party. I really like your new look, and you look well, especially considering all the treatments.
Gee, I wish I'd known when I saw you that you'd seen the Drowsy Chaperone. We LOVED it. Did you?
Hope you're feeling ok - I guess you started back on chemo today.
