Let's not forget the injection site infection on my right buttcheek!

Ever have a cut on the tip of your tongue, get no sleep for 48 hours, get no housework done because of pain, fall asleep for 2 hours, dream in detail that you have already done said housework, wake up, spend most of your time trying to appease a very noisy cat who has recently relocated his favorite piece of plastic and demands that you toss it for him for hours on end, stay awake to watch a specific tv program, but that program sucks, try to rip some more damaged old cds onto your computer, still not find one of the two tracks you'd been looking for, your eyes heavy like slabs of cement, but so heavy that when you close them it actually hurts your head really badly, your fever rages so you're off and on too hot or in a cold sweat with frozen toes, your cat jumps up on your bed with a turd stuck in his tail floofs, barfs on two separate little rugs, then insists on wrapping himself around your arm and sleeping with his head in your hand and if you move, he yells until you put your arm back, wakes you up if you roll over or move your arm in any way, you run out of popsicles you've been using to ice your bloody stump of a tongue, it's your best friend's birthday and her mother is insane and really pissed at her and making her cry all day and you just want to smack her the fuck up but she's in Hawaii for the winter, nobody answers your one-sentence e-mails asking simple questions, you find a big stack of even MORE scratched up CDs to fix, you can't contemplate the amount of housework necessary to make the place even remotely habitable, you can't get "Pannis Angelicus" out of your head, you realize that you're becoming more and more of a waste of breath with every passing inhale/exhale because you're 32 but can't take care of yourself and you are just so sick of dealing with a body that feels like it's being stabbed over and over and over again all day and all night, and pain medication doesn't do anything more than take the edge off and make you goofy and semi-retarded?


Why, in sci-fi movies and tv shows set in space, do they always show space battles as if they were set on a 2-dimensional plane? The only one that's gotten it even close to representing the 4 dimensions is the new Battlestar Galactica. And they only use the full 3d axis occasionally. I guess to make it simple. More tv writers should be forced to read Orson Scott Card.

And now there's nothing but the rain.

So. Grab your gun and bring in the cat.
