Local Matters

Crowd mentality, group consensus, stage IV cancer, & wars between distant countries didn't like the food and left before the music got good.

Powder Up!

After a relapse yesterday back into the depths of this nasty mucusy cold, I'm finally feeling back to normal today. Well, normal except for the sweat. Last night I started sweating abundantly at Tai Chi, but that's not so unusual. What is strange is that I woke up this morning and the back of my head and neck were soaked. My hair was curled up in little sweaty bunches. Now I'm at work and seem to be sweating in more than just the usual places. I keep moving around to air out all the crevices. New Age types would probably tell me I'm releasing toxins, since I've sort of been on an unintentional fast since the sickness began. I tried to eat ice-cream and fried rice yesterday and wanted to vomit. God. It was nasty. Maybe next time I'll try eating them separately.

Can someone please drive to Herrero with one of those fancy body powder scented sparkly poofs and powder up my back and inner elbows? I got one of those for Christmas once and appreciated it's ability to make me feel human during those times I felt like an ugly monster in Japan.

Oh man, I'm so glad other people are taking care of The Cheat Problem. You don't even know man. People kept trying to give me advice about what to do, but they didn't understand what it was like to go out there 20, 30 times, and lose every time. Like what the Red Sox (used to) feel like. I know what it's like to feel shitty, but this procedure made me understand what it's like to be a Loser. But not anymore! Plans are being made without me. I want to twirl around in some snow and create my own Princess Diaries. Thanks Melinda, JP, Nikhila and Kris! You rock! Let me know when you need some moral support to shake off that Loser-around-your-collar stain. It doesn't come off easily.

What, I don't get the shout-out, even though I was the one who talked to Melinda (not Kris) and formulated the drug-The-Cheat plan?!? Damn you!

Oh Joe, sorry, I was rockin the female power and thinking of people helping on this end in the future. Of course you too.

I was trying to subtly let you know we cannot continue this farce of a friendship but now you had to go and make it all awkward. Damn YOU.
