this post is about misc. illness
I don’t know what I’m sick with, but I woke up on Tuesday feeling something that resembled a brutal hangover minus the dehydration. I hadn’t been drinking, so I don’t think that was the issue, and whereas one usually gives way to a 3-5 hour turnaround, I was more or less bedridden and unable to maintain my balance for the better part of the day. Yesterday was the same, today I’m feeling well enough to, uh, not fall over when I get up. This is a plus.
I did, however, experience something of note: all music sounded absolutely awful for some reason. This may have something to do with the fact that that Owl City song is the #1 song in America, and it may somehow be tainting all of my listening, since every time I hear Owl City music I feel this weird, instinctive urge to mute it or turn it off that I’ve yet to understand. I’ve never experienced such an all-consuming urge to block out a specific musician before and I don’t really understand where it’s coming from or why it exists. But I wasn’t able to get through anything, really, without getting frustrated with it for some reason or another. I don’t know what to make of this.
