Hangin' Out In 100b

I guess Tam told you all that I’ve been sick. I’m not sure what I have can really be called the ‘common’ cold. I think it was more like a cold sent to me by Satan, punishment for some evil I’ve done in my past, possibly a warning for my future. Ugh. I still feel like crap and the sad thing is that this is a major improvement.

So my week was spent alternating between whining and feeling very, very sorry for myself and being so grumpy that my brain was eating itself. The two mp3s for this week’s Soundtrack Day represent those two emotions. The Smiths are the sound of me lying in bed, blowing my nose and feeling weepy. The hours and hours that I spent wishing I could sleep, thinking of the time stretching ahead with no end in sight, like the dusty, desolate desert – that’s all Nick Cave. Aren’t you glad you don’t have to be around me when I’m sick?
