Moog Pop Absurdity!!!

Effervescent!I just got back from Jean-Jacques Perrey's first ever live performance in the United States at The Triple Door, assisted by the talented and lovely Dana Countryman (and I'm not just saying that because I work with him!).

I have been awaiting this pairing for FOREVER! Dana loves to name-drop Jean-Jacques every once in a while at work (and reliving the nightmares that he had coming back from France the last time around). I always knew Dana fiddled around with music (and the crazier, the better, judging by the eclectic mix of things on his website), and was working on a CD with Jean-Jacques (I viewed a few first drafts of the zany album cover), but me being the youngin' that I am, I didn't really have a clue to who Jean-Jacques was (I just knew that he put out a lot of stuff in the 60's and 70's), and that he was French. So to finally see him and to listen to the type of music he makes was a natural curiosity of mine.

Well let me say, the music is so quirky. The only way to really describe it is with the words "bubbly" and "cute". With one foot firmly planted in the electronic psychedelia of the 60's (think Austin Powers), with a splash of the whirly good-times music of a Disney Main Street Electrical Parade, and enough electronic bleeps and whistles to keep it interesting without being annoying, it is really hard not to smile or bop along when listening to what was coming out of those analog samplers and keyboards that was on stage. My sister and I don't usually listen to this kind of music (me, being a Pop/Dance fan with Madonna, Kylie, and Bjork under my belt, and my sister with alt-rock singer/songwriters like Pete Yorn and John Mayer on heavy rotation), we still couldn't help but be overwhelmed by how happy everything was.

And it only makes sense. Jean-Jacques may be 77 years old, but his spirit which clearly shined through the iridescent white lab coat he had on is clearly still stuck in his joyful youth. On stage, he seemed like the doughy, lovable grandpa that everyone wishes they had. And Dana was a great foil, as the doofy (in a good way) sidekick. The show stealer was though, the little stuffed elephant (I have to ask Dana for the name of the elephant again), that was brought onstage by Jean-Jacques' daughter during a touching moment. It put into perspective the "romantic" song that Jean-Jeacques played earlier (complete with theramin sampling!) that was dedicated to his daughter, Patricia.

All in all, it was a feel good night, and a fun gig. You can still catch their show down in San Francisco and Hollywood later in the week. And if you can't go, but are still curious to their sound, click on the album cover above, and trek through Dana's website and you'll find some samples from the album, along with a visual collection of some of the craziest album covers of the last half-century.

Grrrr.....No, Be Happy!!!

The heat is back on for Seattle this weekend! It's supposed to get into the 80's again.

Fortunately, I'll be indoors at work for most of the weekend. The air conditioning better be on in the hospital!!!

Also on Sunday, I am headed off to the Triple Door in Seattle to go see my fellow co-worker, Dana Countryman, play with his friend and fellow musician, Jean-Jacques Perrey, bringing Happy Retro Moog Pop to the Seattle masses.

Good luck with the show Dana!

If you are in Seattle, (they will also be playing shows in San Francisco and Hollywood), come on down to the Triple Door on Sunday night to check them out!
Dana and Jean-Jacques together at last!

New Musicality

Well, again, a new Tuesday has passed us by. So let's celebrate Wednesday by looking at what I spent my hard earned money on!

Sexy Boy!First, I was excited to see that Apple iTunes has just released Dangerous Muse's new EP, "Give Me Danger." I raved about their last EP, "The Rejection," and I LOVED (with a capital L!) the "Blazing Lazer Reject Disco Mix," so I was waiting to see what they would release next. Unfortunately, inflatedly high expectations only lead to heartache (see what happened to those Star Wars prequels!). Though the lead song, "Give Me Danger" is a perfectly fine song, it sounds too much like a rehashed A-Ha song with more of a rock beat. It is not as inventive, fresh, and stylized as "The Rejection" (though the subject matter, finding your boyfriend with your female bestfriend, is a little interesting). I probably will warm up to this song eventually, but right now, color me a little underwhelmed. The other songs on the EP ("Break Up," and "In This Town") are also O.K., I actually enjoy "Break Up" better than the main song. It's a cool 80's inspired song where you can't make up your mind whether it's time to move on and break up or to to look for a reason to stay together. It has a better propulsive beat, and doesn't make me think of "Take On Me" every five seconds.

And in brick and mortar purchases, I picked up a trifecta of new hip-hop beats, Gnarls Barkley's St. Elsewhere, Kelis' Kelis Was Here, and Outkast's Idlewild.

Crazy FaceI've already talked about the greatness that is the Gnarls Barkley song "Crazy." And true, their album, St. Elsewhere, was released a little while ago, but I just got around to buying it now, due to the strength of their new single, "Smiley Faces." It again plays with convention and genre's that put a smile on my face. It's both retro sounding, yet fresh and new, and I love that interplay (Madonna's "Get Together" and Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man" and "Candyman" hits me right in the spot also). I'm now working my way through the rest of their album, and I hope I love it's funkyness just as much as their first two singles. Oh, the video for "Smiley Faces" is a hoot also, done in mock documentary style, with guest appearances by Dean Stockwell and Dennis Hopper. Check it out!



Kelis' sound is all over hereThen there is Kelis' new album, Kelis Was Here. I'm sorry to say that this album is not quite as "Tasty" as the last, and I could see it being a while for me to get into this album. With Tasty, I was immediately hooked by the "Intro/Trick Me," and went along with the glorious trip afterword. On this new album, Kelis inundates us with a darker, grittier sound, and in the process, tries to sound more mainstream, but it just doesn't work. Her first single, "Bossy," tries to capitalize on "Milkshake"s funky coat-tails, but just ends up falling flat on their namesake. Even the worst tracks on Tasty (and there really wasn't any), sounds better than the best songs on here. Maybe she suffers from the Star Trek movie curse, where every other release is alternately very good, then pretty mediocre and quickly forgettable (Kaleidoscope was very promising, Wanderland was underwhelming, Tasty was delicious, and this album will hopefully be a learning experience to what will hopefully be a great fifth album).

Break it up already!And finally, this leads us to Outkast's Idlewild. I believe that is album also works as the soundtrack to a movie that Big Boi and Andre 3000 was working on since their last album won the Grammy. Again, I love their respective lead singles ("Morris Brown" from Big Boi, and "Idlewild Blues" from Andre 3000), but the rest of their album all seems like fillers. This is the way I felt about Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Great first singles, and then...

What I think is the funniest thing is that they still try to pass themselves off as a group. I hope one day they will have the cojones to officially break up and start their respective solo careers. Like Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, all the songs were recorded separate from each other, and the songs in which the boys do appear together, I heard the vocals were recorded separately at different times. The only thing keeping them together is the money invested into the Outkast name. Oh well.

So that's what I'm listening to right now. This should tide me over until tomorrow, when I have comic books to buy, and fashion to pan on "Project Runway." Caio!

Completely Inappropriate

I don't know why I decided to watch the Teen Choice Awards on Fox last night. O.K., I actually do have two reasons for watching last night. One was to see if Nelly Furtado and Timbaland can actually sing "Promiscuous" live (answer: a resounding NO! The vocals were all over the place, and it was just plain messy). The second reason was to catch the premiere of Kevin Federline's new song "Lose Control" (hasn't there already been like five or so songs released in the past few years called "Lose Control"?) All I need to say can be summed up in one syllable, "ICK!" Also, for being a show for "teens," there seemed to be a lot of inappropriate jokes during the show, not to mention the icky-pooness of Steve-O and his posse.

Am I really here with you Brandon?Unfortunately, I'll never be able to get those two hours of my life back, but I did get a couple of good laughs. Brandon Routh, the Superman portrayer, decided that the only thing he has going for him now that Superman Returns has not lived up to it's hype, is his hottness, as witnessed by his dressing down in this outfit. All I can say is "Now where am I supposed to be exactly? In D-List obscurity land?"

Send in the ClownBut the worst outfit of the night was Mischa Barton's clown outfit. Now, I barely care about her (just like I barely care about all these new teen neophytes that somehow become "A-List" celebrities because they happen to be on some hot new T.V. show that only teen girls seem to watch), and I do hear that she actually had on a different dress that looked nice on her going down the red carpet, but when I see this, I expect to see a trained seal and Ringmaster following her. Honey, when Sondheim wrote "Send In the Clowns," he meant it allegorically, not literally.

Pardon the Dust

Hello all.

Blogger has just released the "beta" version of their new and improved blogging services, and I have just moved onto the new beta server.

I have created a temporary "testing" page (you don't need to go there, just know that it exists), and I am working out some kinks to the new features that Blogger has added on, so that I can seamlessly work them onto here. So you may see some stuff that is glitchy (my prior post on free web games was supposed to have five images with the post, but none of them made it onto the page). So bear with me as I work on getting everything in shape.

Oops...Popped a Brain Cell

Can you handle it?With the release of the Playstation 3 (PS3) only mere months away, and with a Playstation 2 (PS2), Game Cube, Playstation Portable (PSP), and Nintendo DS all lurking around my house somewhere, I find it a little funny that I'm still drawn to the allure of free web based games. I'm especially mad for the ones that are made by PopCap Games.

I have spent countless hours of my life playing World of Warcraft on my computer, and the various Final Fantasy series of games by Square-Enix on various gaming platforms, but sometimes when it all comes down to it, I fall back to the mindless diversions of Big Money, Zuma, and my personal favorite, Tip Top.

I don't know why. These free games are by no means high tech. They have no rendered cut scenes. They have no next gen graphics that warrants my need for the high end graphics card that I have in both my computer and laptop. They have no plot. In fact, a trained monkey could possible play Big Money. But I think it is because they are so mindless, that's what makes you waste so much of your day away.

Hey Big SpenderIn Big Money, you just have to click away little "coins" in four different colors, each with a different country's currency symbol. There needs to be at least tree coins of the same color touching in order to be clicked away. You need to "collect" a certain number of coins to get a money bag to fall on the play field. You need to click away the coin directly under the money bag to "collect" it. And after you collect the requisite number of moneybags, you go on to the next level. My little explanation of the game makes it sound much more complicated that it really is. Basically the game amounts to moving your mouse around while clicking at the screen as quickly as possible. I swear if you find me ever afflicted with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, you can probably blame PopCap (I wonder if I could sue them at this point?). And to top it all off, you have this cigar chomping, gruff voiced "C.E.O. Bigwig" encouraging you on.

Spit little froggie, spit!In Zuma, you control this little frog that spits colored marbles out of its mouth. You shoot these marbles at other marbles that are coming along a track towards a hole. You need to match the colors of the marbles (and make a match of three or more again), to make the marbles disappear and keep all the marbles from falling in the hole. Sounds silly (though, it is no sillier than the "tribal" sound effects in keeping with the "ancient tribe" theme of the game), but trust me, once you get the hang of it after you start playing, you just don't stop. Well, I usually do end up trying to stop when I either die (loose my marbles), or I beat the free trial web version.

Tipsy TerveyThen there is my personal couch potato game, Tip Top. It has this cool little 1950s retro Vegas Lounge vibe, with its sparkly lounge music, and classic slot machine symbols used in the game. In it, you have a playing field where you drop your symbol (cherries, lemons, diamonds, plums, bells, etc.) from the top. At the same time, a symbol comes up from the bottom. Three or more symbols touching each other will make a match and clear them off. This game, however, involves a little more strategy, as you cannot have your symbols get to the top (you control), or the bottom (you have no control of these, except to try to make matches from the top to clear them off). Though it still is pretty mindless in a way. I have found myself in front of the computer for five hours with a Madonna CD on repeat playing this game, not needing to stop for food, water, or bathroom breaks. My eyes are just glued to the screen like it was crack!

The Lemons, they're back!!!Heck, you can probably tell how crazy I am about these games just by the fact that I committed a whole blog post to them. It makes me wonder why I am spending $15 a month paying for a World of Warcraft subscription (I have to be honest, I haven't played the game in probably over three months, but in case you are wondering, I'm on the Bronzebeard server. I'm a level 46 Night Elf warrior named Aredacher). And why I have spent $49.99 to get crappy games based off of the X-Men franchise.

Haven't burst into flames yet...

Dude, it's a Dell up in smokeWell, I'm safe for now. I just checked my battery for my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, and my battery is not one of those that are being recalled due to an over-heating and fire hazard problem.

Anyway, if you purchased a Dell laptop (from the Inspiron, Latitude, Precision, or XPS lines) between 2004 and now, please check out their Battery Return Program link.

O.K., that was my public service announcement for the week.

I will return to regularly scheduled rantings and ravings next post.

"I Don't Feel Like Dancin'," But I Will Anyway!

Ta-Dah!Hurrah!!!

Finally, I am able to get some new Scissor Sisters goodness into my system. I've only been waiting like forever to see what's coming from Jake, Ana, Babydaddy, Del, and Paddy. Well, all that waiting has come to fruition (so to speak), as iTunes (America) has finally put up their new single, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'," up to purchase (you lucky Brits over the pond got to get it a while earlier, harassing me to no end with taunts that you heard it).

The song again harkens back to a less serious (and probably more drugged up) Elton John (I think he plays the piano on this song for them), with a cute piano melody, Jake's wonderful falsetto whisping away (he sounds like a long lost Gibb brother), and enough of a thumping beat that you can't help but dance, even though Jake and Ana insist that they don't want to. If you want to know what the BeeGees would sound like if they incorporated some glam rock and a tough of punk into their music, then enjoy!

The video is psychedelically perfect for the Scissor Sisters. Trippy, like a weird acid flashback, with irreverent elements (love the floating heads at the beginning), it's like David LaChapelle meets Salvador Dali. Too bad MTV and VH1 will probably never really play it (like those two channels play music videos anymore anyway). Thank goodness for the internet! Below is a YouTube link (thank you to whoever posted this!), and barring that, you can go to the official Yahoo! Music site or the Universal/Polydor site to get your fill. Ta-Dah! and enjoy!

Feed the Blitz

Hello all!

Just a little F.Y.I.

I know some of you hate having to come back to recheck to see if I have updated (yeah, right, like there is anyone reading my blog except for me and my sister *sniff*). Well, I never got the Google Groups thing to work the way I would like it to, and it was confusing as all getout.

So I'm trying a new e-mail updater called FeedBlitz. All you have to do is scroll all the way to the bottom of the page (yes, this is a trick to get you to look at my past ten posts), and there you will find a form to enter your e-mail address. Don't worry, I'm a subscriber to another guy's blog that uses FeedBlitz, so I can assure you that the only e-mail you will receive is an e-mail whenever my site is updated, and I promise you won't be inundated with spam and such. And you won't have to register with them unless you want to. All they need is your e-mail. And then you will know whenever the writing bug strikes my fancy.

P.S. I know there are a lot of lurkers out there (my fellow co-workers, you know who you are!). But I never receive any comments from anyone, except from this mysterious "Angelina Beaverhausen" person... Please leave a comment if something I write particularly strikes your fancy. I don't even need to know who you are (you can leave comments anonymously). I just need some validation. It helps boost my low self esteem, and makes me think life is worth living. O.K. I'm going to have a nice cry now.

The Future of LoveSounds looks bleakP.P.S. I love Justin Timberlake's new song, "SexyBack," and I can not wait for his new album to hit the stores, but the cover to his album is a complete bore and utterly disappointing. Lazy, Lazy, Lazy!!! White background, stark shadowing, awful shoes (the right foot going into the disco ball looks three times bigger than the left foot). It looks like some cheap fan-made Photoshop project gone horribly wrong. It would look O.K. as a single cover (the cover for "SexyBack" looks perfect though: mysterious, menacing, and sexy), but as an album cover, it is underwhelming. My sister does much better stuff with less. Check out her sites at Rock247Music.com.

Salute! (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Marvel Comics Movie Bombs)

Well, my sister and my father have come back from Italy, and that can only mean one thing. Three weeks have passed us by.

And what have I done in those three weeks?

I only finished one book, and I am about 1/4 of the way through another book, which is a little bit of a slowdown, but seeing as I only read at work or on the bus, I guess this is acceptable.

I've also started digging onto my vast collection of DVDs. I had a Marvel movie fest. Monday through Wednesday nights are usually pretty quiet T.V. wise, and I don't seem to watch any more "scripted" shows, with most of my T.V. time going to the Food Network and HGTV. Well, I can only watch Rachel Ray for so long with out thinking I'm a little insane (sorry Rachel), so I whip out my backlog of DVDs and break out the popcorn. (Just a warning, there are a lot of spoilers in the following reviews).

With a VenganceThe Punisher, with Thomas Jane and John Travolta was pretty decent. I think Thomas Jane captured Frank Castle very well, and he pulled off acting and action very well. John Travolta was a little over the top as the main villain, Howard Saint, but then again, he usually is. The story line was decent, though some of the other villains (like The Russian, portrayed by wrestler Kevin Nash), seemed to be dispatched too easily after an excellent and lengthy fight scene. My only other minor gripe is that there were a few questionable plot elements (spoiler: even though Howard Saint finds out that the recently thought dead Frank Castle is still alive, he doesn't do much to actually want to seek him out and hunt him down again until Frank both runs to the press to tell everyone that he's alive (???), and dispatches a few more of his henchmen). That and the couple of moments of cheese (I giggled when Frank happened to make the Punisher skull logo out of burning cars. That's a little too much thinking on the "hero's" part). All in all, very good, nicely acted, and somehow managed to make South Florida still seem dark and gritty at times. I hope there's a sequel someday, if Thomas Jane ever gets his awesome physique form the movie back (have you seen him recently pre-wedding to Patricia Arquette? Poor guy needs to stay away from whatever food is making him bloat into a Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon).

Does my head look big in this cowel?I then moved on to Daredevil (Director's Cut). Now I may not like Ben Affleck very much, but he did a fairly decent job portraying the blind avenger/lawyer. But the two most interesting characters in this movie, Colin Farrell's psychotic Bullseye, and Michael Clark Duncan's imposing Kingpin, both seemed to not have enough screen time. I wish there was more of them in the movie. I liked this movie's dark feel, and the atmosphere captured the desolation and near hopelessness of Hell's Kitchen very well. Again, the plot could have been stronger, but I guess since I read comics a lot and know everyone's origin stories already, I would naturally feel like too much time is in setting up the characters, which is why I like the way that Marvel handles sequels, by assuming that you have seen the first movie, and thus not wasting as much time on back stories on everyone. My only gripe with this movie is that there are a little too many things that are off that distract me from the movie. How does Matt Murdock (a.k.a. Daredevil) afford his apartment, and all the cool stuff that is in there (he appears to sleep in a stasis tank that cuts off all outside stressors), when he's just a small time lawyer that also does a lot of "pro bono" cases? Also, when he is completely stabbed through the shoulder, how is he able to climb around in the church to fight Bullseye?

Does all this red make my butt look big?After finishing Daredevil, I naturally had to move on to it's spin-off, Elektra, with Jennifer Garner as the Greek (???) assassin come back to life (apparently she has the Jean Gray Phoenix complex, since she ends up coming back to life twice in total so far). Again, the villains do not seem to get enough screen time, when they all have really cool powers (I loved Tattoo, with his tattoos that came to life, and Typhoid (a variation of the Typhoid Mary character in the Daredevil comics), with her death touch). And they are dispatched with way too easily. These are supposed to be the Hand ninjas, and in the comics, they were utterly ruthless, and not to be taken lightly. A whole team of Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, et al) have a hard time disposing of them, so Elektra doing it mostly solo makes them not quite as menacing as I hoped. Also, the film does not seem dark enough (though beautifully filmed in the Vancouver, B.C. area of Canada, it seemed much too light and airy a place). And the scenes that touched on Elektra's psyche and mental states were confusing, and never seemed to justify why Elektra went from a socialite (as shown in Daredevil), to assassin (as she was in the beginning of the movie). According to her character in the movie, she says she does it because it is the only thing she does well. Seems kinda weak to me. I thought this movie was disappointing, and might have had a chance with a better script, better explanation into Elektra's character, and stronger acting.

Hulk Smash decent script!I then moved on to Ang Lee's Hulk. Talk about disappointing. I heard that this movie was a stinker, but I still went into it with an open mind, giving it the benefit of the doubt, as Ang Lee has whipped out some excellent movies from he's sleeves (The Wedding Banquet, Eat Drink Man Woman, and Brokeback Mountain come to mind). Starting right off the bat, he uses this annoying split screen, picture-in-picture thing to tell the story. I get the point that he's trying to make the screen look like a page off of the comic books, with the panels and all, but I just found it too distracting. Second, the Hulk's power levels were all over the place. How strong is he? They never really set the limits well, and many times his show of power during the battle sequences were over the top. The CGI effects were not quite seamless enough, so Hulk stuck out like a sore thumb against most of the backdrops in the movie. The fight scenes were a little underwhelming (though the though of a "Hulk"ed poodle both disturbs me and makes me laugh. And the dispatching of Bruce Banner's dad, David (a nod of quite a few to the old Hulk T.V. series) at the end totally lost me. However, the movie was well acted for the most part, thanks to both a pretty decent cast and direction from Mr. Lee. I think this was one of Marvel's most disappointing movies.

I am seeing too much Jessica AlbaThen came the Fantastic Four. While all the other movies were either dark, psychological, or both, Fantastic Four was none of that. It aimed to be summertime fluff, and it succeeded well in that respect. It was well casted (though something still bothers me about Jessica Alba's Invisible Woman), with Chris Evan's Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Michael Chiklis's Ben Grimm/Thing being dead on. I know that this movie got a lot of critical bashing when it came out, but I can see why it was one of the top grossing films of last summer. Since it could appeal to a wider audience, it was less dark, less serious, and a lot more fun. I don't even mind the liberties they took with Dr. Doom's character (giving him some weird electrical based powers). But I think it actually does make sense. In the comic book Fantastic Four/X-Men that came out not too long ago (if you haven't read this mini-series, don't bother because it's pretty bad), they related all the Fantastic Four's powers to the elements. Mr. Fantastic is water (being stretchy and "fluid"), Invisible Woman is air, Thing being rocks and earth, and Human Torch being (duh) fire, so of course Doom should be electricity and metal. The story was a little weak, and Johnny Storm's X-games snowboarding and motorcross biking sequences were a little tedious, overall I liked the movie, cheesey one liners and all. I wonder how the sequel will do, and how they'll handle the new character, the Silver Surfer (maybe he and Johnny will "ride some wicked waves" together in the movie).

The kitty litter is stinky!I started to watch the Blade Trilogy, but I haven't gotten around to them yet because I was distracted by one of my recent Netflix arrivals, Catwoman. I didn't have the heart (and courage) to buy this movie, but I just had to see it since everyone declared this the worst turkey of a movie since Madonna in Body of Evidence (I still love you though, Madonna!). And let me say, I didn't think much of Halle Berry before (yes, she's a very lovely woman, but I just don't like her that much in movies), and this movie just put the nail in the coffin. Badly scripted, acted, and directed (the trifecta of a camp classic in the making), this movie sure perplexed me. Throwing out everything about Catwoman's past before, both in the comics and the movies, apparently Catwoman is a mystical empowerment that allows women to walk on walls like panthers while wearing odd halter bras with ripped leather pants and open toed heels. What??? There's a definite line between sexy and slutty, and both the Catwoman outfit, Mariah Carey, and Janet Jackson have long jumped their way past this line and into Olympic gold territory. Michelle Pfeiffer was covered nearly head to toe in rubber, and she was still far sexier than Halle in her getup. The only redeeming thing in this films is Sharon Stone as Laurel Hedare. No one plays sexy, vampy over the top as good as Sharon Stone. If she wasn't in the movie, this thing would have been collecting dust in the vault somewhere. Poor DC comics should stick with their "Batman Begins" franchise, and not look back, as their worst movies are ten times worse than any of Marvel's worst movies.

So now it's the wait for X-Men 3: The Last Stand to come out on DVD (I missed it in the theaters), and for Ghost Rider, Spider-Man 3, and Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer to come out (though, I hear that an Iron Man movie is in the works).

Blah, Blah, Blah

Sorry, nothing interesting to write home about today.

I'm trying to clean up my den some, and I'm just taking a post dinner break. And in the two hours I have been working on this project, I realize that I have too much crap!!! Bad for Feng Shui, and for Buddhist dharma. Not like I really believe any of that... Or do I?

One thing is for sure. I felt like CRAP yesterday. I don't know if it was something I ate, if it was something I caught at work, or if it was just me, but it felt like my entire small intestine system was on revolt. I felt like I had one of those little chest-burster Aliens in me, but without the sweet release of tension of having it actually burst out of me. I swear, I spent most of yesterday lying in bed (after I finished watching "The Hulk" and "Fantastic Four" on DVD).

I don't know, I really need to see a GI doc sooner or later, but working in the medical field, I know what things they do to you when you come in with these problems. I'll get over it, suck it up, and go someday though. It really is a pain to have a really bad stomach ache that debilitates you once every copule of months.
