Planet of the Apes

I am right in the middle of round 16 of chemo.  Three days in, two more to go.  All of the regular chemo symptoms are back and biting harder, but I am a fighter, and things will be good. 

There is a movie theater around here that shows matinees for $2.75 – so I went to see The Rise of the Planet of the Apes today.  Here are 5 things that I learned in this movie:

1.  Sad monkeys are militant monkeys.

2.  When driving my car toward militant gorillas or orangatans, I want to be sure they are not standing near man hole covers or parking meters – for they are strong monkeys and can use such things as weapons.

3.  If you tase a monkey enough times, it will talk to you.

4.  Draco Malfoy is as mean to monkeys as he was to Harry Potter.

5.  Gorillas can handle 8-10 bullets before jumping off a bridge to attack a helicopter.

Here are some other things that I have learned in the last couple of days:

1.  Chilis – holy crap.  The food at that place is a constipation buster.  We went there for lunch yesterday and things are flowing much better today.  It is unreal.

2.  I started chemo on Friday night and ended up napping twice on Saturday.  At about 6:00 pm on Saturday, I think I had been awake for 4 hours in the day.
