Good Friday! It's in the can! Awoke early. Earlier than usual! Wrote out a set of bills, mailed them, and headed for lunch. Interesting that I went into flush/turn red mode before eating anything. Had trouble finding a parking space (as per usual on Fridays) and ended up having a Jamba Juice for my midday meal. Actually, worked out better than having a meal--it cooled me down and took some of the edge off of the flush/red episode. Went to resistance training session. That seem to work out fine but I was a bit tense anticipating a dental appointment in the late afternoon. Got to the dentist and discovered that she was planning on doing a deep scaling procedure. I thought we were doing something else using fluoride--which I was not looking to doing. It was somewhat of a relief to have be a scaling. It was over and done in a short period of time. She did half of my teeth. The remaining half will be done in another session later in April. I went to the CG for dinner. I had a tasty fish taco plate. As I was finishing up my dinner, two people from the PD dance class came into the cafe. We said hello and I started back home.

Watched a film tonight--Gods and Monsters. It's a story about an aging film director (who had made the first two Frankenstein movies in the early days. Now, he was secluded and almost forgotten. He was gay and still kept up a teasing relationship with younger men. He hires a buff but tough gardener. The story revolves around their relationship and interactions, and a march to an inevitable conclusion for the older man. There are interesting dream segments and flashbacks of the old man insinuated throughout that help tell the story of the older man's adventures. Some of these scenes are replays of the Frankenstein movie segments, most of which are hilarious. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to see it again, but I wouldn't refuse to do so if the opportunity arises.

Easter weekend! Eggs and rabbits, ducks and chicks! Sugar dumplings--candy sticks! I'm ready for the dream time, for the soft sweet sound of rain.
