Swamped in one way, not swamped in another.

Hello, my little sunshines!

I did it. As the (almost qualified) nurse suggested I went to a doctor and got the terrifying gynaecological examination. It turned out I wasn't worried for nothing last night, but it isn't anything so serious that couldn't be cured by simply taking a medicine for a week.

But more importantly; the doctor was a very nice young woman, who kept talking to me all the time, asking if everything's okay, if something hurts, and explaining what she's going to do. Now, to torture the cliché (points to those who recognise the movie), I'm all smiles. And when I was leaving she asked if it was as bad as I had thought. No, not even near. Okay, I am perfectly aware that my future gynaecological examination experiences may not be as relieving but at least I know it can be tolerable, like now. Thank you, Doctor L, you saved my day (and pretty much rest of the following month, too)!

Now that I go see the actual gynaecologist in August I won't be so nervous to get to the bottom of my irregular periods. I think I should do this more often; an ex tempore thing so that I didn't have time to dwell upon it and get it all out of proportion.

"It's just another day
the shame is gone.
Hard to believe
that I've let it go."

I once put a list of the all-time-best-movies that I had seen. Well, listening to X3M pays back; it appears that Internet Movie Database has not only listed the movies voted by the users as the best, but they also have a similar list of the hundred worst films, listed here (http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom) as the "Bottom 100" as listed today. Again, the asterisk marks that I have seen the movie in question. For the sake or reve… ahem, *clarity*, only the forst fifty listed here.

Note 'Hercules in New York' in the 74th place; this was Guvernator's very first film. I heard an excerpt taken from it yesterday and I couldn't help noticing (whether or not it was intentional, that I don't know) that Schwarzenegger's pronunciation was terrible. You know, if you've had the dubious pleasure to see the film yourself.
