Three Tall Women
On the plus side, my fatigue has broken and my head-cold is starting to clear up. On the down side, I think I might have pneumonia. As I charge through week four of bed-ridden illness, I'm trying to stay positive, to look on the bright side. Sure, maybe I've fallen behind on all of my major projects. Sure, I've missed a billion exciting events. Sure, I missed a chance to perform with Kimya at Carnegie Hall tonight and meet R.E.M. and Patti Smith and Dar Williams and Throwing Muses. Sure, I haven't seen people I love. Sure, I've missed opportunities to fall in love in the first place. BUT, at least I've watched an entire season of "Law & Order: SVU" and discovered all the bootleg "Roseanne" episodes on YouTube! I mean really, it's nothing to scoff at.
At least, now that my fatigue has dissipated, my mind has returned, and so I can finally start piecing back together all the organizational projects that halted in mid-February. Between naps and coughing fits.
Being sick puts you in the strangest frame of mind. You get creative, but it's not a good kind of creative. It always feels vaguely evil, vaguely un-artistic. It feels like madness. I think I'm watching so much internet TV so I won't start entertaining myself. And I'm really good at entertaining myself. Probably too good. I think, ultimately, I'm afraid that if I start, I'll never stop. And then I'll be that annoying guy at the bar who's always talking to everyone but never saying anything.
Love
Dan
