I’ve got the crud. Not sure if it’s a common head cold or a sinus infection, but all the symptoms are there. Ear ache, sore-ass throat, both a runny and stuffy nose, weak and prone to headaches. I got it at work. The servers at the restaurant are dropping like flies. So many people are sick I went ahead and called in for tonight at 9:30 a.m. so I could be sure to be first. I pity those suckers who might have to work sick. It’s hard to give your server a fat tip, regardless of how good the service was, if she has snot running out her nose while she tells you about the pan-seared salmon in buerre blanc.
So, I’m playing hooky. Except I feel too shitty to do anything besides watch The Ellen Show and think about what food I might eat if my throat wasn’t such a raw, swollen mess. The boyfriend and finally found a DVD copy of “Annie”–the only version with Carol Burnett and Albert Finney–we’ve been looking for weeks. I’m trying to hold out and wait to watch it ’til he gets home from work, but that mop of orange curls are seriously calling my name. Or maybe that’s the pseudophendrine talking.
Anyway, I’m working on a new blog. Yes, again. This one I’m very excited about, so maybe it will last longer than 2 weeks. It’s called The Double R and it’s a blog devoted to Twin Peaks and David Lynch. Plans are to make it pretty comprehensive with lots of updated and well-organized information, links to theories and theses on all things Lynchian, as well as whatever else I might unearth. I’ll reveal the url as soon as the boyfriend gets to working on the site’s banner graphic. I suck at design.
I’m off to the couch to cuddle with a tall glass of orange juice.

Wowzers, I thought the Ellen Show was cancelled like 6 years ago. Good on her for keepin on keepin on. I wonder when The Oprah will hang up the mike.
Get well.
ROOOOOOOOOVERRRRRRRRRRRR! WHY NOT THINK IT OOOOOOOOVERRRRRRRR??! ROVER IS THE PUUUUUURFECT NAME FOR THIS DUMB-LOOKIN’ DOG!!
Ellen’s got a talk show now, and I think it is pretty good. She’s goofy, but in a non-threatening way.
WARBUCKS: DROP PAGE!
BUY COPPER!! BUY COPPER!!
okay, i’m done now.
I was out with the same crud yesterday. Now I’m at work with the same crud today. Bullshit!
Your tummy would benefit from some 7Up. Crisp and clean, and no caffeine. It’s de Uncola.
Ah! ah! ahhhhh!
Yes, that’s exactly what is needed, a blog about a TV show that has been out of production for over a decade.

A void that obviously needs filling.
My cure for colds is to take a steam bath at my gym. Steam baths are much hotter than saunas but a sauna will do in a pinch. I can always nip my cold in the bud with an unhealthy dose of heat. You heard it here first: The cure for the common cold. Go ahead and laugh. They laughed at Galileo too, or did they burn him at the stake?
Never Sick In Seattle
Back when I lived in Virginia I would chow down on Texas chili at Hard Times Cafe in Alexandria whenever I felt a cold coming on. Strangely enough, colds never progressed after I did that.
Perhaps the sweating did the trick? Similar to leftbanker’s sauna/steam bath thing? Who knows…
Let’s see… Plane ticket to Reagan National, taxi up King Street to Hard Times Cafe, Texas Chili-Mac w/ beans, onions, and cheddar (only half wet, thank you), a half loaf of onion rings, taxi back to the airport, flight home… You’ll be good as new in no time for only about $300.
Maybe just add some chili powder to your orange juice. It’s cheaper.
For Rent,
You caught me on a shitty morning. Please go fuck yourself, you trolling piece of shit.
You are no longer allowed to comment here. I’m sick of your witless sarcasm.
snap.
(as in, like, fingers snapping over head and pulling arm swiftly down to side — oh god…oh god!!! Please don’t take that the wrong way…Hope you feel better soon B.)
