There's a stale donut on my desk

I didn't ask for it. I don't want it. But there it sits...

I think I might be getting sick. This is very bad news, since I've got a large number of people to entertain come Saturday. Luckily I've got a bunch of the decorating already finished. Check it:

I'm actually probably getting sick from being up too late working on all this nonsense. Or maybe it's from the multiple walks to Home Depot, usually in torrential rain. Either way I have to figure out a sure fire way to fight this thing. First things first - pho...

I really want my warehouse-mates to do a cover of the Bed Intruder song on Saturday. Hopefully it happens. I'm thinking something acoustic like these guys put together:



Sometimes I'm a bird or candy or a butterfly or an elephant or a frosted pint glass full of 4 Loko...

We could always dress up like our favorite Pokémon and do some live action role playing

Or not...

Beware of the illness. It's out there. It's horrid. You can't eat for days. Can't drink more than an ounce of water at a time. These are the rules. If you find that you have been infected any attempt to override these rules results in violent vomiting. Do not dismiss this warning. I fought it for days, but now I've prevailed...

Props to the Judge Bolton for putting a hold on the more controversial parts of the AZ immigration law. It's just the first step though. This is destine for the Supreme Court...

I started watching Heroes again. I'm up to the end of season 3. I'm not sure I'm going to watch the last season. I didn't realize that the show was cancelled without proper closure. I think that might just drive me crazy. I did like season 3 though....

Moved back into the X-files. Good stuff. I'm still on season 4. I really enjoyed the two part episode where Mulder gets captured by the Russians. The "Musings of a Smoking Man" was pretty lame in my opinion. I understand that they want some mystery around this guy but to suggest he was there for the JFK assassination and MLK jr. is a bit far. I think that they could have come up with a better back story for him. More to do with aliens and less to do with conspiracy in general....

Coca-Cola is going to give 100K to which ever park gets the most votes in it's online thingamajig. Y'all should vote for some local park. I put up for N. Cascades NP...

Here's another story that I've mention before, the W Seattle Totem Pole. I'm happy to see its finally back up where it should be. From the picture it also looks like they did a nice restoration job. I'm going to have to head out there for a first hand inspection soon....

And we'll end today with a lil JFK quote, "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

CONFERM RECIET

I've been having stomach pains today. I'm not sure if it's because I ate something that doesn't like me or what. It makes me feel like Winston Smith....

Work is very busy and people are idiots...

"While We Wait For The Others" didn't get the top spot in Pitchforks 100 Best Tracks 2009 list. It wasn't even in the top ten. I think this is a total fail on their part. My Girls is a great cut and I don't disagree with it's placement on the top. I just think they overlooked Grizzly Bear...

In my dream last night I was going to Highline Community College. The school had been replaced with a strip mall and movie theater. I was there with AK, my dad and my stepmom. We were going to watch a movie, but I had to be somewhere. I couldn't understand why I was there when I had some place else to be. Then I was in Federal Way climbing up a steep hill covered in rocks and foliage. When I reached the top there was a bus waiting for me. I got on the bus and it took me back to the strip mall. I tried to tell the driver to stop, but he didn't...

If you're thinking about prowlin' around Kelso, think again...

They convicted Naveed Haq finally. I hope that this marks some sense of closure for the families of the victims. The sad part is that it reminds me when these things didn't seem to be a regular occurrence...

"Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me"...

There is only one thing that I really want this year...

I fought the death and I won!!!

The fever has finally subsided. I woke up at 5am this morning and felt great! So now we can get back to some more serious bloggin'...

I've can't believe the utter indecency of Rush Limbaugh. It's one thing to speak out against the President or other politicians based on their politics but to make such a blatantly despicable attack on a senior member of the senate based on an illness is too far. Shame on Limbaugh, Shame....

It's snowing in Seattle again. Is this just a natural occurrence or is it the beginning of a long line of climate changes that we are unable to stop?...

Are you interested in leaving a message for God? Well now you can! A Dutch artist has set up a mobile phone where you can call a leave a message for God. I wonder if he's planning on calling anyone back...

Prophecy Fulfilled

I'm sick. It's 4:05pm and this is the first time I've gotten out of my bed. I tried drugging myself to sleep with NyQuil, but it was no help. The power of my coughing continually wakes me. I'm drinking tea, which seems to help temporarily. The hard part now is that I think there is no food in the house. I'll just have to find myself a pho restaurant that delivers. I don't think they exist, but damn that would be nice.

Delaying death for one more day

So I'm not dying. Doctor actually told me that I was healthier that I thought. Even my blood pressure was legit (little high but not enough to worry). Turns out that I have Costochondritis. Sounds sexy huh? It's a swelling and irritation of the tissue connecting my ribs with my breastbone. Not sure how I got it though. Doc said it can be caused by trauma, coughing or it can even happen spontaneously. I'm just happy its not my heart.

Off to the ER

I'm going to the hospital right now. I'm waiting for my ride. Hopefully everything turns out okay and it's just something stupid like heart burn. But I'm not terribly optimistic...
