I went back to an ENT doctor today for a follow-up on my last check-up (long boring story about me having this popping sound on my right ear… you don’t want to hear it). So I was patient #2, as opposed to being #7 the last time and waiting for an hour and a half before I saw the doctor. While waiting for my turn — and for the doctor to arrive — I turned to StarPollo, my iPod, and continued listening to Monday’s (August 28th) audio edition of The Movie Blog.

John, Darren and Doug were talking about John’s trip down to L.A. to visit the set of the Transformers and he was listing down the three things that were bothering him about the movie. When John mentioned that there was going to be a love story involved, Doug got so riled up about this and started swearing and stuff that I just had to stop myself from laughing out loud.

There I was, trying ass-hard not to laugh hysterically and succeeding, yet looking like some freak, shoulders shaking and clearly laughing all by herself! The other patients were already eyeing me with raised eyebrows before when I was just snickering at the comments the guys were making, but now they had this skeptical look on their faces. I know they must have been thinking, “shouldn’t she be waiting in line to see a psychiatrist?”.

The elderly guy sitting opposite me gave me the “what-are-you-smoking” look while the guy who kept walking up and down the aisle paused for about 2 minutes and stared at me; the woman sitting next to me subtly moved away.

Yeah, that’s one way to drive people away … actually enjoy a witty conversation. Of course, it doesn’t help if you’re the only one listening to it. I swear, hearing Doug cuss in different ways just cracks me up like no other.

I also howled in laughter the night before hearing the whole deal about Doug and his ex. Right now, the post has over a hundred comments!
