274th New Thing - Watched 50/50

We watched a movie entitled 50/50 with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, that came out on September 21, 2011. It is a comedy-drama film written by Will Reiser that is loosely inspired by Reiser's own experience with cancer. Adam Lerner has a pretty great life - a talented girlfriend and a cool job. But when Adam discovers he has a rare and possibly fatal form of cancer (schwannoma neurofibrosarcoma in his spine), his entire life turns to chaos. His best friend uses Adam's condition to get girls, his overbearing mother loses sight of him in her own fears, and his inexperienced therapist struggles to keep up with the needs of her 3rd client ever. The movie is about his subsequent struggle to beat the disease. The film was nominated for 2 awards at the 69th Golden Globe Awards. Levitt received a nomination for Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) and the film itself was nominated for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy).

I thought it was a good movie with serious drama and comic relief. I will admit I teared up a few times. IMDB gave it a 7.9 out of 10 and and I agree with that rating.

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u
