Processing food

Jan 09, 2006 10:40

I've been ill for the past several days, what with the sore throat and the wet, hacking cough and so on. I barely managed to be well enough to work yesterday, and then only because I couldn't find anybody to sub for me. I washed my hands a lot and worked hard not to cough, but still I hope y'all didn't order anything from the Gizmo around then.

Geoff and I stayed up late last night talking about politics, about primary industries, property rights, libertarianism vs. socialism vs. communism and their views on the role of government, socialism as the perfection of libertarian ideology, GMOs, processed foods, the media, Foucauldian power vs. discipline models, and a number of things in between. Very enjoyable.

Last night I was awake in bed for at least an hour coughing up my right lung. Then the coughing stopped and I sort of was half-awake while my stomach decided not to be left out in making me feel bad. I don't think I ended up getting much sleep, and I woke up just before my 7:15 alarm hoping it was still 4:30 or so. no sore throat, but still a lot of coughing. I visited the C-Store on the way to class and picked up DayQuil, PeptoBismol, and Tylenol (I only used the DayQuil). Plus, in order to make sure I stayed awake through both my morning classes, I had a Red Bull before each. Now my stomach is aching from a caffeine overdose, which coupled with my lungs makes for an unhappy abdomen. Sad, sad abdomen.

On a good note though, the ringing in my ears that I've had since yesterday evening was cured with a yawn at the end of second period.

Whee.

I'm going to do my Con Law brief on Cooper v. Aaron now.
