Me and My Shower Buddy

It's all in the name.

Based upon that title alone, I can only wonder what thoughts you are having about the potential content of this very post at this moment in time. Well, I hate to disappoint you but it's most definitely not what you are thinking. Unfortunately.

Here is a picture of my brand new shower buddy. I have been using my shower chair for about a week now and it was not without a slight learning curve. It's not particularly comfortable and it takes time to get used to the feeling of having your cheeks exposed through the seat of the chair. So far so good, though, aside from an unfortunate choice of product name. Then again, I would imagine that I am not their typical client both in age and mindset.

In other news, wireless connectivity is still an infuriating issue so I apologize for the infrequent and brief posts. Hopefully we'll find a solution soon. Before I go insane in the membrane.

Oh yeah, yesterday was a five letter, one word name film festival at my house. I watched Gigli (half an hour was all that I could stomach), Speed (it had just begun when I bailed on Bennifer), and Taken (it was around this time that I made the link with all the movies so I felt an obligation to finish it off). Thank goodness that my internet was down because my Netflix queue would have been radically redesigned with one word, five letter film titles.
