I just threw away $600.

Sort of.

I finally tossed out my leftover Lovenox syringes. After paying $1,200 for the full prescription, (no insurance), I had some difficulty with the idea of throwing away half of them when I didn’t need them. I knew there was no way I’d ever need them. But still.

I even tried donating them, back when they were new, to the public health center. But they never got back to me.

So they sat there for a while… out of sight, out of mind.

$120 per injection. Twice a day. 5 dosages. Gone.

I was in the mood to write something. But it’s getting late, so I think I will just share a photo from one of last year’s shoots. This girl was wonderful. Very mature, and a natural in front of the camera.

I think it’s the sign of a successful night when I get slapped, bitten, and kissed on the cheek by the same woman. That was basically how yesterday wrapped up.
I honestly can’t remember the first half of the day. Don’t think I was very productive or anything, then. But around 5pm, things kicked off. There was a flashmob wedding on the steps of the Supreme Court. (It’s very weird telling a cabbie to “take me to the supreme court”.)

That was followed up with the opening night for the DCist Exposed photo show. This is the show I had a picture in last year. No picture this year, but at least 2 of my friends were in it. Living up to it’s history, the opening night was slammed. Hundreds or more people filling a huge gallery space and extending in a line down the block. Open bar, this year, and a ‘real’ DJ setup. Couldn’t get a good comprehensive look at the photos. But my overall impression was that they were better than last year.

Dinner at an Indian place in Chinatown, and we all went out to the club afterward. Very much fun was had, and very many people were spoken to. And seen as how I had actually had something to eat this time, I had no problems making it through the night completely aware of my surroundings.
I do have to wonder about my friends, though. I was demanding more beautiful women, and they offered me two hairy — one large and one small — men. Seriously… ?
