head in a vise

weather: clear + windy

i have this constant itch in my nose and it's about to drive me 100% crazy. i hate that feeling you get at the onset of a cold. it's often worse than the cold itself because of all the anticipation and worry about how severe and annoying and painful and gross your cold will turn out to be. and you know that there are many days of restless nights and soggy tissues and embarrassing sneezes and whooping coughs to make you feel extra attractive and fun to be around. being sick sucks. i woke up today and felt like i'd overdosed on five benedryl, three sudafed, and two advil. the funny (?) thing was, i haven't taken any medication in months! yargh.

it's lovely out today, though. except it's a bit windy. but the sun is great, as i experienced on a very slow bike ride this morning. it's also cat's birthday today. we're spending it in a very glamorous way - cleaning our apartment. she attacked the fridge, i attacked the bathroom and also did a little dance with our vacuum cleaner. it's nice having a clean apartment. it makes everything feel a little more fresh and fun and happy. i like that.

so i am refraining from mentioning a rather pleasant activity that i did last night because if i bring it up, then my friend chris and i will have to have a blog-off. considering i just watched zoolander a few nights ago and was so graphically reminded of the consequences of getting into any sort of "blank"-off with your talented rival, i think it's best that i just don't mention this "activity". i don't want to lose and end up with my underwear up my ass.

i'm glad, though, that people have so many outstanding and inspirational ways to communicate with the world. whether it's through words or music or food or fabrics or beats or strums or lyrical passages, i think it's really cool that we're capable as humans of creating and telling stories with which we can connect to each other in intimate and personal ways. it's awesome that we can make each other feel so good just by sharing a little piece of ourselves through some abstract means. it's something i've been thinking about a lot this week as i've been hanging out with people who inspire me. and it's something that was reiterated to me again last. twice. no, three times. and it's fucking rad.
