I watched Smallville and LOST last night. The latter was more read dialogue off and on as I spoke to Erin over the last half of the season finale while she was driving home. If you’ve not caught LOST this season I am not sure if you are losing out or wise not to continue with the addiction; regardless, the show, at least the episodes I caught, has proved to be rather interesting.

I grew up thinking that I was conservative and that, someday, I would affiliate myself with the Republican Party. I am still a conservative individual, but upon closer reflection, find myself at odds with both the Republican’s and Democrat’s.

Well, last night was spent alone in the thralls of studying logic. I kept trying to work through proofs to prove the problem without resorting to help and, truth told, found that I don’t see the answers as spatially as I would like to. Which proves to be a problem; but not as big a problem as one might expect as I am sure that using the rules will help me see the methods better. So, a frustrating night at the opera that will, ultimately, lead me to see things in a far easier context in the future.

However, we are at midweek. Monday was lost to us do to a Federal Holiday. That was fun. Erin and I woke up, had McDonalds for breakfast, not something I am apt to do again; and then went to IKEA to get a REAL entertainment center for our entertainment stuff… specifically the TV, Xbox, what DVD’s we have laying around, my small Go set, the large Go stones, the armadillo domino set, and more.

As the world knows, or knew, I am sure, I was under the belief that I had Celiac Disease. Past tense is important here for a couple of reasons. First, anytime I had something with wheat or a wheat derivative in it, I would get sick; and second, when I stopped eating wheat and went on a strictly wheat-free diet I no longer got sick and could function in a somewhat normal way.

Really. They are. Apparently, according to Erin, I got paid a bit-o-money today that was more than either Erin or I was expecting. This is, in part, me working more hours over the summer, and in part my having received a small pay increase having survived the Winter Semester at this job. Exciting.

Recently, the California Supreme Court ruled on the Constitutionality of same-sex marriages. I am opposed to this. However, as someone who tries to follow the law, I will support that ruling until the law is sufficiently changed to make that illegal. Part of the reason for this is my religious beliefs. Yes, my religion is tolerant of same-sex people’s who choose to be abstinent, it is not tolerant of same-sex sexual relationships or otherwise. In short, it is against my beliefs and as a result, if presented with the opportunity, I would support a constitutional change to prevent this from happening.

Yesterday was the colonoscopy and endoscopy. The experience was interesting. Specifically, Erin and I woke up, we got ready and then drove to the facility. I was admitted, given an armband and then taken back to remove all of my clothing and put on two different robes, one facing backward, the other facing forward. At that point the nurse took me to a small alcove where they repeated a series of questions I’d been asked the day before and when I was being admitted. She then proceeded to put an I/V into my wrist, which actually was uncomfortable enough that I almost said something… the nurse removed a long stint from the I/V with a small viol of blood and then injected something. I was then led to a small waiting room.
