october festering

howdy stranger. been a while... can i bring you the usual?

yes, thank you. i'll take one usual containing bronchial inflammation, congestion, wheezing, and weird colored snot.

be glad we're out of swine flu, handsome.

i can hear k.a. hacking up a lung downstairs and it elicits two disproportionate feelings. a small tinge of pity and a heapin' helpin' of finger clenching and jaw tightening.

"get. a. cough. drop."

one teaspoon is not going to do much.

oh. it's codeine and i've had a glass of wine.

waking up naked because the fever broke and the brain interpreted the heat correctly, hearing the scraping corduroy sound of chest rattle while breathing in and out, mucous-lined everything.

"ya'll come back now!"

happy f*cking new year

right.

ring it in, "let's get this show on the road."

one last semester? crossing fingers now.

bought a pickup. mobility is crazy awesome.

k.a. will be ten. christ! it's been ten years? i must have blinked.

following james joyce's trail in ireland this summer is tentative.

m.l. will return in the fall. looking forward to the old crew and chats.

currently reading "studies in ethnomethodology." oh joy.

31 years later and i'm still screaming at the wailing wall...
make it fine in 0-9?
sure, i'll get right on that.
