ok, i think the blur vs. oasis debate is officially over. i'm sure the gallagher brothers are shakin' in their boots over this. i love blur to death, but doncha think they're kind of an odd choice for something such as this?

by the way, can i just say how horrible the experience of having stitches removed is? getting them in is kinda cool, you're anesthetized, so while you know there's a needle going through you, you don't feel a thing. it's kinda like you're dreaming, but you're awake, ya know? the process of having them removed is far less scientific, it seems, and can be summed up in two words; "cut" and "yank". zoinks! they should at least give you a cookie when you're done.

ok, so previous postings have given me a bit of a rep as one who absolutely loathes mariah carey. and while that's partially true, i don't quite relish in her recent downward spiral as much as you might think. however, it's news like this that makes me feel that the wbsg blog has awesome magical powers to change the future, and hopefully the following will come true just because they're posted here:

a) pretty much every major pop/fake r&b/commercial hip hop/nu metal star to come to rise in the past five years will have a major nervous breakdown. even o-town. i hope they all go bananas, causing the pixies to get back together, causing the world to be saved.
b) michael eisner will spill his iced coffee on me in the elevator. this will cause him so much sorrow and guilt that he'll quadruple my salary on the spot, and buy me a condo in south beach.
c) george w bush will be a special guest star on the chamber and... oh wait, i'm not sure if i can say that. let's just say somehow ralph nader or al gore end up being president.
d) some lunatic scientist in zimbabwe will genetically clone dinosaurs and they'll take over the entire continent of australia, for no reason, besides the fact that it would be really cool.

tuesday morning i feel a rumbling in my tummy on the way to work and i go "hmmm, geez, that's odd!" i go to work anyway, but after a couple hours i leave because i feel nauseated.

i spend most of tuesday afternoon with a nauseated stomach and other un-bloggable flu related symptoms. i know i should be drinking lots of water but it just makes me feel worse, and there's no soup in the house that's not cream based so i'm not eating anything at all. discount kid comes home with some soup tuesday evening, and i eat some, shortly after i get real woozy and break out into a cold sweat. i figure that's my fever breaking, and gosh darn it, i'm cured! yay! of course, now discount kid is coming down with the same symptoms as me.

at about 2:30 in the morning on wednesday, i get up to go to the bathroom, and i start feeling all woozy and overheated. the last thing i remember is thinking "god, i gotta go sit down somewhere." later i wake up after passing out on the floor, and i've cut my chin open pretty badly (i still don't know how i fell). this leads me to an 8 hour visit at the emergency room, eleven stitches in my chin, and five liters of sodium chloride being i.v.'d into me to help with my dehydration (i couldn't stand for more than ten seconds without my heart rate dropping dangerously low).

this morning i wake up to find out that now my cat has the flu too.

stay away from my house!!!

it seems to be the case that dj shadow will be releasing a new album shortly. yahoo! hopefully it'll spark the demise of nu metal and really bad hip hop.

go nader go!
