Tampons, anyone?

I've spent a good portion of the last few weeks laid up. My back's been quite the bitch of late, and the chiropractor I've been seeing, Dr. E, told me that the worst thing I can do is to be vertical. Yes, I was commanded to be horizontal. (Had the directive come from anyone other than Dr. E, I would have assumed he was hitting on me. But Dr. E is so sweet and innocent I half expect to see him skipping with a lollipop in his hands.)

Lazing about hasn't been so bad. In the last couple weeks, I've read 8 or 9 books, finished season 6 of Bones, and been put to sleep and given weird dreams by an audiobook. Yes, my life is non-stop excitement. I ordered a small plot of astroturf and am looking forward to its arrival so I can sit and watch it grow.

Obviously I needed to get out. So I got back on meetup.com and have been venturing out. Tonight was a movie meetup: Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Whether you have any interest in this movie, you should go see it. It was far better than I expected it to be, even after being told by a few people who'd seen it that it was worth watching. Never before have I cheered so much to watch a bunch of damned dirty apes beat the shit out of people.

After the movie, the group of us went to Tap House Grill for post-movie discussion and debauchery. (Ok, not so much on the debauchery...) As I frequently do when confronted with a new group of people, I whipped out my Dose of Lyndsy business cards. Back when I expected to go to BlogHer, I had 6 sets of business cards made. Why 6, you ask? Well, I couldn't decide which card design I liked the best. Turns out, I'm shit at selecting good fonts. They're all basically unreadable. Except for the original card design, as seen below.



Totally readable. However, it has a flaw I never saw until it was pointed out to me tonight by one of the moviegoers. As he held up the card, he said,"And this one makes it look like you sell feminine products."

Totally awesome, because well, I'm sure none of us can imagine anyone better suited to selling feminine products than me, nor could we imagine a forum better than Dose of Lyndsy to do it.

That said, anyone fancy a wad of cotton to jam in your bajingo?
