OK... so on Thursday evening I started feeling a little queasy, whatever. Took some Pepto and waited for it to pass. No such luck... about a half-hour later I was puking my guts out. Puke done... thank God that's over with, right? Wrong!!! It just kept getting worse and worse and worse all night long. I was violently puking about every 15 min. and by the 3rd or 4th time blood started coming up and I was running a 103 degree fever. That's when my roommate decided to take me straight to the ER. Now usually I hate hospitals and treat them as the ultimate last resort, but I was extremely relieved when we arrived there. The doctor said that I had one of the nastiest stomach viruses he'd seen in a long time and they kept me there under observation for 24 hours.
I still am having a hard time keeping food down and my body is still in pain from the extreme nature of the other night's yakking (my forehead is a road map of what looks like varicose veins - actually busted blood vessels from puking so hard), so I'm gonna be home for the weekend. Fun, fun, fun.
Thought for the day:
"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd.
You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation.
It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled, and unbalanced.
In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers.
That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilised world."

Keith is now in this terrible band called Crime and Judy. they toured the east coast last summer but so far i think that's the most ambitious they've gotten. 'course, a lot of people love the band but i don't. the musician-ship is great but there's just too much going on (last time i checked i think there were 7 people in the band) and one of the lead singers is awful. last time i heard them it was kind of like art noise with a violin and vaguely SleaterKinney-like vocals. they have a website if you want to hear it but i'm not sure you'd like it. honestly, i'm not that big of a Die Kreuzen fan either but Keith is such an awesome guy -- very intelligent and that band did kind of put Milwaukee on the map as far as punk/indie rock. as far as the other guys, i've never really met them. i know one of them was in a band called Decapitado but i don't know anything about them. so that's the extent of my Die Kreuzen knowledge.
