103.3 was my temperature this morning. 9 am was the time of my doctor's appointment. 14 seconds is the approximate duration of time between my coughing fits. Two days is the longest that this chest cold/flu/whatever can last, because there is no way in hell I can miss the New Years Party.

Just as any stomach problem I have can be solved with Tums, Dayquil is the cure-all miracle cold medicine for me.

Richard Buckner- The Hill. When Richard says "And who should come out but A.D. Blood" I am actually afraid of the old man's intentions. When he sings about Emily Sparks with reverence I'm humbled as well. "Now I'm so far away from the days when you taught me in Spoon River" brings on nostalgia like no other. Do you understand what I'm getting at? If you like folk-country you will listen to this album. It will be a new classic in your collection. I am not going to waver on this.

I'm going to lie face down on the bed for a while. What was the point of this entry? I guess really only to let you know that I want nothing less than a flood of sweet emails and IM's while I'm having a hard time of it.
