I know you're all sick of hearing it, but I still feel like crap. Right about now it's as though I swallowed Draino.

My vaguely-superior told me to go home if I felt too poorly today (well, she didn't say poorly, but I like the word. Esp. in English accent), but I have this really stupid machismo thing built in where I say "Only two days to the weekend. I can survive this." Actually, I think it's a cross between machismo and that British, "No, it's okay. No please, have sex with my wife. I'm sorry I interrupted. I'll just go and, um, put the kettle on, shall I?" Because secretly I am a British gay man. Obviously.

Ritual was good tonight; I felt really trippy throughout, very calm and relaxed. This is a state of mind I usually slip into ridiculously easily in Wendy-rituals, but not so much with the rest of my life. 'Twas quite strange.

I know, however, that had I been sensible, I would have stayed home.

I forgot to phone the hospital again today. And I left my book at work. Bah.

[Edit: I forgot to say this... just in case I haven't responded to your comment with some lame version of "thank you" yet, thanks to all the people who've left me sympathetic notes. It really means a lot to me that I can share the pain like this. Also, go see this website. It is funny.]

Handly clue for spotting Pagans #892: look for wax spots on their clothing. Your average Pagan has more wax on their clothing than a medieval monk. With a candle fixation.

Ah. That would be why.

In reviewing my last few entries, I noticed an important comment at the bottom of my Pirates entry seemed to have disappeared. What about the close of LJ-cut tag I put there? I wondered to myself, smoking a clove cigarette and reading Wittgenstein while balanced on my head. After a cursory glance at the code, I realise I have NOT closed the LJ-cut tag, I've put two opening LJ-cut tags. Lovely. So that comment "Nat and I had already pledged not to watch it for a week before it comes out, but I might not watch it again until then. Want it to be fresh, doncherknow.

So, anyway, somuchlove for Pirates. My love just increased tenfold. I can't wait to see it on the big screen!" would have gone completely missed by anyone who didn't click through.

Once again: well done me. Now, I retire to bed.
