Yesterday I was wearing my Livestrong bracelet and a large-sized t-shirt leftover from high school. I reached into my backpack, grabbed my prescription of Penicillin, and threw back my one pill with a swig of cold Pepsi. Why is this remarkable? It shouldn't be, but catch the comment that my rather mundane actions attracted: "Is it safe to take your medication with Pepsi if you're on chemo?" Yes, that's right, she meant chemotherapy. She thought I was a cancer patient!
I am a skinny, skinny man. I've been called "weak" before. Fine. I've been made fun of for resembling a skeleton. Fine. A cancer patient? I didn't know whether to attack the glaring stupidity (and potential offensiveness) of her remark or run screaming out of the classroom and into the gym.

Today is my day off. Layer Cake and Mr. & Mrs. Smith will be seen.
...
I'm going to Tennessee next week. Rock.

I have attempted to contact you to relate one hilarious story and one possibly crazy story. I will continue to attempt to contact you. I also want to hear what you think of Layer Cake. The boyfriend loved it. I would see it, but it's showing alllllll the way in Minneapolis.
