my last post was in august? well, fuck.
i hate being sick. about three weeks ago my tonsils started acting up, after 29 years of absolutely zero activity. for about two weeks there i had no energy, a sore throat, and a fever that came and went. eventually it went away, and for the past week i had been relatively well. i had a slight cough from some left over chest congestion, but the mucinex dm was keeping it all at bay. and that was a good thing because i had a choir concert sunday afternoon, and i had a big solo.
and then i decided it would be a great idea to go to the strip club on friday. i haven't really gone out for the last three weeks, and where do i decide to go? nope, not any of the smoke free bars that litter midtown memphis. i decide to go out east to see some naked women shake what they got in one of the smokiest places in town. i woke up saturday morning with a pretty bad cough. i knew it was my body expelling all the smoke, so i thought it would pass. and then i went and did some test shots with a friend of mine outside in the cold for an hour. we got some pretty good shots, but that certainly wasn't the smartest idea (what else was i supposed to do? the home studio has a dismantled bed in it right now. the new tempur-pedic got delivered saturday morning!). i medicated as much as possible saturday night, but sunday morning was shaky. i had a solo at my church job, too, so two cups of hot tea, one cup of tap water and another cup of hot water later and things seemed ok. church went fine enough and things seemed to be getting better. on the way to oxford i took a midol to relieve some of the swelling of my vocal chords (it was all i could find!). the midol seemed to do the trick. i think the caffeine was actually the most helpful, but i was still living on borrowed time. by the time of my solo at the end of the concert i could feel my voice breaking down. i pushed on through and the concert ended well, or well enough. but as the after party went on i had less and less voice, and now i'm up at 5am, sipping on green tea with honey and lemon because my throat is too sore to sleep. i guess i could edit some photos.
you know, there's absolutely nothing on tv this early in the morning. the guy on animal planet has a nice leica around his neck, but he's sifting through gorilla poop. and his partner has what looks like a nikon d3. nice to see it in the jungle. and that gorilla is all sass.
i guess i should be enjoying that new bed, but i just want to coat my throat in honey. i don't even have the energy to go looking at all you pretty girls.
speaking of girls, my anal retentive nature has had me keeping up with all the member review galleries for the past few months. it amazes me how the range of quality is all over the map. there are some real gems in there, though. unfortunately most of them never make the front page. seems that great looking girls with great looking pictures from obviously talented photographers isn't enough these days. it's all about votes! i can't even tell anymore if any of the front page sets go straight up. seems they all go through member review these days. and it always pains me to see an absolutely beautiful girl with horrid pictures. what can you do? i'm curious, though. if i don't leave a comment, does my "i loved it" vote count? does my "not for me" vote count? i generally leave comments on the sets i really like, but not on the ones i don't.
anyways, to all you hopefuls on my friends list, good luck! i love you all!
time for some more tea.
