Just checking in

[cleolinda]

No linkspam tonight, because I just finished Wanted in Fifteen Minutes. (I know, two in one month. I just happened to see two movies in a row that practically parodied themselves. I don't even know that it's all that good, but I finished it, so that feels good.)

Also, the right side of my jaw hurts for no good reason, and it's really bothering me. Woe.

You're a goddess in your ability to pour out your sorrows profitably. Congrats on getting it done. *clink*

Now rest, relax. Are you sure you don't want to try julnawrimo? *ducks, flees*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you SHOULD duck!

[sigma7.livejournal.com]

No, please! Don't...hit!

...Actually I enjoyed the m15m muchly. I was thoroughly spoiled, and I feel like I saw it alone with a whip-smart friend, and didn't have to have people come in half-way through the previews to sit right in front of me. Which is as it should be. Thanks.

I was SO hoping you'd do Wanted in 15 Minutes. Thanks!

SQUEE. I can't read it yet, though, because this one I actually plan to go and watch. *bookmarks*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Do! I highly encourage this. Although I couldn't tell you if it's funnier if you know I'm not making it up or not.

Often "IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE." Like, for instance, in your King Arthur in 15 Minutes, which I still hold dear to my heart. Tristan's ghetto bangs are funny because of how truly ghetto they are. Heh.

It seems like I never have enough time to see all the movies before they leave the theater - like, for instance, I STILL haven't seen Indy (is it still IN theaters? Hm.) and I want to see Get Smart, and Wanted, and...ack! Not enough time! (Or money, actually. When did movies get to be $10? Gah.)

Ibuprofen? I find that for aches it works better than Tylenol.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

What would that be in? Or is it just sold directly under that name? I'm not very sophisticated with my over-the-counter painkillers--Aleve's good for muscles, Advil's good for headaches, Tylenol's good for fever (or at least that's how they work on me), that's all I know.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

Ibuprofen is the generic name for a kind of NSAID, "Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory" Drug (it's not a steroid and it's good for inflamed muscles). Aleve, Motrin, Advil, and Nuprin are some of the trade names, but they're all ibuprofen, sometimes with another drug added to treat other symptoms. All of them work well for muscle aches.

Oh, and you can also buy ibuprofen as ibuprofen at CVS or wherever. It's cheaper that way.

'Neeping' here - ibuprofen in in Advil, Nuprin, Motrin - but not in Aleve. Aleve is 'naproxen sodium'
Both are cox 1 & cox 2 blockers, and have similar effects on the body - except ibuprofen is a little rougher on the liver and blood; while naproxen sodium is rougher on folks sensitive to sodium.

And IMO getting the generic ibuprofen makes most sense.

Also found in Midol so careful about mixing those together. Yes I learned that the hard way.

Oooh, I can't wait to read this after I get to go see the movie...Wanted was my #1 'Want to SEEEEEEE!!!' movie this year, and yet everything is working its self to the point that I can't go see it until maybe next week...:( I wanna see James McAvoy & Morgan Freeman shoot stuff and be awesome!

Ech, the jaw. My sympathies. Mine has this lovely thing it does where it just slips out of socket randomly (It's genetic, too! Sent my brother to the ER once.) Get some cloths, wet them with warm water and apply after taking Tylenol. (The best I've found for it is the new Tylenol with the red 'EZ' coating. My body couldn't break down the coating of the old Gel Tab Tylenol. I spent years thinking Tylenol did nothing for me, then accidentally got the wrong bottle of it...works like a charm.)

Thanks for the parody! Now I am going to stop listening to "The Little Things" on repeat and go to bed and dream about curving bullets.

I said it over there, and I'll say it here too: awesome. The whole movie made me go WTF and the m15 version was perfect. Hee.

[chaneen.livejournal.com]

Man, I had heard that Wanted was crazy, but that's crazy. I kind of want to see it now!

And I have a lot of jaw problems (had TMJ, so I get soreness every so often), so I know how you feel. A while ago, my dentist recommended taking 3 motrins and one tylenol together every 6 hours (if needed) for a day or so, and I've found that helps a lot. The motrin helps with inflammation (which is mainly what happens with achy jaws), and that and the tylenol combined is really great for the pain. If you need some extra help, a warm moist cloth for 20 mins every hour or so is good as well.

asdfdkl;jaf I need to go see Wanted just to read your m15m!

[mina-mina-mina.livejournal.com]

Aaaargh! Can't read the m15m! Want to see "Wanted"! And it only comes out in September over here! This is torture.
