Tut, Tut... Looks Like Rain


Influenza... it's a bitch, especially when it's 70 degrees outside and the sun is shining down and all you can think is... "my body is hotter than the earth right now. What's up with that?"

So as to distract myself from this thought, I've been whiling away the hours on a pharmaceutical cocktail codeine cough syrup and various pills coaxing the fever from my system and the phlegm from my chest. The past five days have been MAJOR to say the least.

Just prior to this infection I was in Seattle and it had just begun it's transition from pristine, crisp, autumnal afternoons to the rather dreary, slippery, wet ones. And that's how this playlist started. When I got to California however, it seemed a bit contrived and so I lost interest.

But then I got sick, and I craved soup and the weather that called upon such a state as I was in.
