one handed, one finger typing

so, as i sit here on eterna-hold with our friendly neighbourhood government, i thought i'd start a little blog action. the robot voice tells me i have a 7-8 minute wait ahead of me... and now i'm being entertained by mahler (i think). at any rate the music isn't as nearly as annoying as the music i was forced to endure while waiting for a doctor's appointment this afternoon. i couldn't even begin to tell you what the radio was playing - but it was awfully treacley and doing a good impression of audio wallpaper. all the better to peruse birth control propaganda...

i was taking a first appointment with a potential new doctor. i'd been seeing mine for nearly 10 years - but she just recently moved to another city. the clinic she used to practice out of set me up with another doctor who seemed really good except for one thing - he was a boy. nothing against men - but i just feel that a female doctor is best for a woman - she actually has the same stuff under the hood and to me - it just makes sense that a man has a male doctor and a woman has a female doctor...

however, this doctor i met with today is not going to be seeing me darken her door again. sometimes you just get the sense that a doctor only wants to take you on to increase their practice numbers. i wasn't impressed... at all. i will try for another female doctor who is taking new patients - but i have to tell you - finding doctors who are accepting new patients is difficult. i just hope that by the time of my physical (september) that i'm not going to see that male doctor. anyone out there in toronto who knows of a good female doctor they can recommend?

and last night on rock star : inxs (i feel like such a prat everytime i yatter about this show!) my gurl tara slone got sent home. it pretty much was inevitable - but i am sorry to see her go. hopefully her solo album will be good. she's been working on it with a guy from montreal that was a pretty big deal in the mid-90's (through his friendship with the stunning melissa auf de maur he ended up doing some songwriting with everyone's fave female wackjob, courtney love).

and i know news like this should be getting me excited - but i also really kinda think i might be over the whole hockey thing. yes, watch me - i say it now in the heat of summer, but come october - i will be subscribing to the nhl channels on bell expressvu and will be wasting time watching the games again. i want to be more excited about it - but seeing that on saturday i'm headed to edmonton, the most hockey rabid city in canada, i may get the hockey infection again. and it's really a big deal for me to say i don't care about hockey. i grew up in edmonton in the days when the oilers could do no wrong and when they ruled the entire nhl... ahh, those were the days!
