Superbad Needles & Pins
Lisa was nice enough to drive me around yesterday morning to get my rental car and get all of my things out of the Honda. Not sure if they will total it yet or not, I’ll find out next week. I would like to get a new car, but since my 2002 Accord is still worth nearly $15,000 they may just elect to fix it. Also, I wanted an Accord hybrid, but I just found out they don’t make them anymore. I don’t really want a Civic, but I want to stick with Honda. May be a moot point anyway.
Last night I wanted to keep my dinner date, so I met everyone around the corner at Hugo’s.
Even Ramiele from American Idol was there (sorry Lora)
Tom was excited when Jonah Hill (star of Superbad, and many other recent coming of age comedies) came in with his posse. I pretended to snap a picture of our table while Jonah walked by, but judging from the photo I’m busted, because he’s looking right at me. LOL. Oh well, the price of fame. (I saw him host Saturday Night Live last weekend, and actually thought he did an OK job.)
Sal was there and he’s an acupuncturist. So after dinner we all went to Mika’s place to play Taboo and he examined a few of my “pressure points” to find out where most of my pain from the accident was coming from. He really made some of the pain go away with just pressure. Don’t ask me how, but I consented to try the needles, and here are the overly dramatic results.
Getting prepped and cool as a cucumber
The first needle. Honestly, I barely felt a thing. I’m just a drama queen.
The “adjustment” was scarier than it looked or felt.
Look at me in the background of this picture. After a while I relaxed and it was fine. LOL
As relaxed as I can be with needles stuck in my body
A memorable first…It could have been worse!

You all right? Just got caught up– hope you’re doing all right.
