"It was the equivalent . . ."

Simon Cowell: "It was the equivalent of a musical torture chamber."

Ugggh. This sinus infection is like the equivalent of just a regular old torture chamber. I have been battling this sinus infection/laryngitis bullshit since last week. I am feeling better but still not 100%. I have gone through two boxes of Kleenex and two rolls of toilet paper (strictly for my nose, just to be clear) blowing my damn nose, which is now raw and red. It's good in that the sinuses are trying to purge themselves but it does not feel pleasant. I feel like a grandma when I sleep because I have to prop myself up with 5 different pillows just to breathe. And then there's the super sexy Vicks Vaporub. Alls I know is that this shit better get out of my body in this upcoming week or I will hook up a garden hose and a Shop Vac and clean my sinuses out manually if it comes down to it. You can only suffer for so long before you resort to desperate measures.

Earlier this past week when I was laid up in the bed, sweating with a fever and feeling like I'd been stabbed in the voicebox, Adult Swim showed the episode of Family Guy "I Dream of Jesus." Oh God. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I really did weep with laughter. I couldn't breathe well and I couldn't speak but I laughed so hard. If you have not seen it, go watch it now. I have not thought about that horrible "Surfin' Bird" song in a long-ass time but it truly seems like the type of tune Peter Griffin would flip out for.
