Still Sicksies

There are a lot of activites in which i could be enaging to pass my sickness time, but i think blog posting is as good as any of them.

Firstly, it lets you guys know that I'm still alive.
Secondly, I get to feel like i accomplished something throughout the day other than improving my relationship with my unconcious and the tiles on my shower floor.
Thirdly, it's in English, so I get to feel literate and well spoken.
yay for that.

Today and yesterday have both been spent mostly sleeping. I've got a little den of darkness and solitude, and I put up the 'please do not bother' signage on the door so the maid won't knock and ask "打扫房子吗？" cause when she does that i invariably have to holler back, "不要！谢谢你！" which hurts my throat and causes me to awake from my congestion induced slumber. I am thinking that by thursday I'll be back in class, because goddamn it i'm china and i'm going to take my time getting better.

When this blog post is over I'm going to turn on either Noah's Ark or Before Sunset. I think it'll be Noah's Ark, since it makes me remember West Hollywood and the young and free days (cause im so old and restricted now, right? ha.) whereas Before Sunset makes me contemplate a life of longing for someone i don't have. It's for me to try to remain as positive as possible when unhealthy, or at least so i've discovered over the past few days. I tend to be more susceptible to depression when every inch of me aches and phlegm is my only constant companion (gross).

On that note, I'm really sad that I'll be missing all the Prides. I already missed LA Pride and I'll be missing San Francisco Pride next week. I'll just have to start up a Beijing Pride to make it for it, but that might interfere with my mother's request that i not get hauled into jail for political/social demonstrations while in China. It would, however, be fun and make for a good story. And those are two of my main criteria for deciding to do something (level of fun and potential for a good story). Hmm...

And now i'm going to go make a cup of tea and curl up in a hazy fog of sickness.
