Why the hell am I sweating?



Oh, that's right. I'm still dealing with chills and a slight fever. Although I'm finally out of the woods--I GOT up out of bed today before my alarm. I set it just so I wouldn't sleep the entire day. Coughing really saps your stamina and hurts, too. I feel like I did 900 situps or something. Well, I look at it this way: if I get sick this early in the year technically I'm getting it out of the way. Celestial Seasonings Sugar Plum Spice tea has kept me going all this week. With 20 bags to a box, I'm now ready for my third box! I don't know what's in this stuff, but I can't stop drinking it, it's that good. Off to Duane Reade for me later today.



They said snow flurries, but it's clear and bright out there, I don't know what these weather "people" are thinking. Then again, every time I turn on the Weather Channel I'm seeing what's going on in Wyoming. Maybe it's snowing over there.



Ugh....now the dry cough. That's always nice---it's like an ab workout with no use for Kleenex since I'm no longer sneezing. And I had a lovely dream about that disturbing brat from "The Ring". I think her name's Samara? It was on HBO, figured I'd check it out since the Japanese film it was based on basically kept me up for three nights straight. Those guys don't fuck around: sushi, electronic equipment, and horror movies all have the same degree of honor, seriousness and artistry that makes up Japanese culture overall. The U.S. version? Ehh, it was ok.



I got the shock of my life when that kid climbs out of the well to go "play", but it was worth a look. So I guess if my tv pops on by itself I better hightail my ass out the door lest I get "hurt" as this kid likes to say. That's kind of Poltergeist now that I think of it. TV's and monstrous things happening to little kids. I think Hollywood may have finally run out of ideas.
