ah...codeine...

...note: if you have a severe chest cold w/ a hacking cough, it's probably not a good idea to belt out good morning providence @ the top of your lungs on the way to work...my bronchials are never going to be the same...on the other hand, what choice do you have when good morning providence is playing through your speakers but to sing it as loud as you possibly can? i don't know what else to do in that situation.

...well, the good news is that i called my doctor and had a coughing fit over the phone with him, which was pretty convincing because he readily prescribed me that cough syrup i wanted, the one w/ codeine in it. people at work have told me they can hear me hacking even w/ my office door closed from down the hall. i have a post-it on my door that reads "enter @ your own risk." people have left me alone for the most part.

more good news...that huge project @ work has been postponed, so i don't have to worry about working crazy hours before leaving for seattle. i'll suffer for it when i return to reality next monday.

i'm still thinking about last night's drumming performance by the appleseed cast drummer...reminded me of when i first saw glenn of wilco drum when i saw the wilco movie. man, i frickin' love an inspiring drum performance...

...at this moment, i am a happy camper..."i was born in omaha" is tickling my ears...my tummy is full of good mexican food...i have a prescription of codeine laced cough syrup waiting for me at my local osco drug...i found a cheap pair of rocket dog shoes at the DSW...memories of sebadoh's "willing to wait" play in my head...i have to stop @ reckless tonight to exchange the "live from battle in seattle" cd for my "pornography" cd...i am going to be in seattle in like 30 hours...i will see the gloria record perform twice this week...i will see serene perform three times...i will see hidari mae for the first time...i will see deni play for the millionth time...i get to see ryan & jesse & matt & erik & ian!!!! i so need to spend time w/ ian...meg & i both...there's something comforting about his company for us...

i think i'll put on some idlewild...i wanna hear some american english...
