I went up to see the girls in flat 8 and use their phone.  I chatted with the flat&#8217;s inhabitants for a bit while waiting for the phone to become free.  Then, barring some phone card logistics, I called Erin and talked to her for a while.  It was a fairly late evening but nothing crazy.  I even fealt fine when I woke up.  I reluctantly emerged from bed to notice a note that Iain had slipped under my door that read:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>GEOFF, CAN YOU WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO, I NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN.  HELLA BUSTED W.\/ EXCEL.  LOVE &amp; HUGS, IAIN.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> So, I knocked on a very disheveled Iain&#8217;s door and showed him how to format his table cells in Excel.  I walked the 25 minutes down to King&#8217;s Buildings, and all was right with the world.  As I was sitting in my computer architecture lecture, I noticed that I was sniffing more than George W. Bush in his twenties.  My nose just wouldn&#8217;t stop running.  I chalked it up to normal congestion, but as I was submitting that computer security practical, that familiar feeling came over me.  I was ill.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n When I say ill, I don&#8217;t mean ill in the &#8220;License to Ill&#8221; or &#8220;illin&#8217; like a villain&#8221; sense.  Oh no, I mean the perpetually runny nose, sore throat, miserable sort of ill.  I like to think that I&#8217;m usually pretty good at being sick.  I&#8217;d say that the only qualm my firends and family have is my willingness to carry on as usual and my averesion to brightly packaged over the counter wonder-drugs.  Today though, I fealt a moody cuss.  I was just pissed off at the world.  A dry, sunshiny day, and I was feeling to cruddy to skate.  Furthermore, I was feeling to bad, and too infectious to make it over to the party at Timothy&#8217;s residence hall.  So, I fought my way through the South Bridge\/Nicholson\/South Clerk Street pedestrian traffic to score some echinacea tea and went back to the flat for the rest of the evening.  I got some work done on my distributed systems simulation and listened to a ton of old <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thislife.org\" target=\"_blank\">This American Life<\/a> episodes.  In doing so, I realized that Dishwasher Pete sounds surprisingly similar to Kevey and that it&#8217;s odd how Camden Joy&#8217;s grandios antics and guerilla music reviews can make him a pseudo celebrity while Charlie and Kyle remain in obscurity.  All in all, not a very exciting evening, but hey, TAL is rad, and there&#8217;s not much else one can do when ill.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>sick Originally written 01.03.2002 Last night I fealt fine.
