Medicine

Went to the doctor yesterday afternoon. She thought it could be a couple things, so doing the try-for-the-easy one first and she prescribed me a couple things. A pill and a topical gel. The insurance is stupid about the topic gel and it has to go through prior-authorization which just means I have to wait longer to get it. But they have an over-the-counter version of it for not much and I picked that up. Hopefully all this helps. Then last night Mary Beth and I went to a show at B-Side. First was Ibex Clone. Then it was Freak Heat Waves, an electronic duo, kind of in the vein of later Suicide but with kind of a sleepy dream-pop vocal aesthetic. Cindy Lee played a couple songs with them. Then it was Cindy Lee (they played one song with them). Cindy Lee does kind of a broken lounge/soul sort of thing, mostly singing to prerecorded tracks but playing guitar for a good bit of it. Their guitar playing is pretty incredible too. It was a nice show and saw quite a few people. I picked up a cd at the show: Freak Heat Waves: Mondo Tempo. Now let me see about getting through this work day.
