This is Sad

Bad health day. Bad series of mental health days. This sinusitis is driving me fucking batty. I guess I should just cave in like other people whose Immunoglobulin M is in the basement and just take antibiotics all the time.

But I know I'll end up altering my body's flora and fauna. That's when people get all those creepy yeast infections.

Well, is it worse than a creepy bacterial infection working at your skull?

Right now I can breathe fine through my nose but my Eustachian tubes keep collapsing (I hate that sensation) and I can feel it working the one sinus in my forehead. It feels like a morass. Boggy. A heaviness there.

And I cut my tongue on some fucking candies that shattered like glass last week and it's so slow healing. Those little cuts are still there. More like slashes. It bled like a motherfucker when it happened. Don't ever buy those fucking things. Little pastilles in a tin can. I hadn't bought those since I was nineteen. I don't know what I was thinking. Bipolar impulse night at the grocery store. Don't let bipolar people shop during mania.

Anyway, that's not what's sad.

Revilo's book was making me laugh like an idiot.

He's an artist who does cartoons for Hallmark and others.

This book is Talk to the Tail ('cause the whiskers ain't listenin'!).

The kind of book you give someone in a hospital.

My life is a hospital so it seemed apppropriate to give it to myself.

Now if you're all literate and shit you think of that Baudelairean quote here. About the hospital. And the patients hoping to change their position. Hehe. Passive aggression. Just Google it if you wanna know. Then you'll know it better than I do, because if I remembered it verbatim I would put it here.

The only change I would make to Revilo's book is that I would spell the subtitle this way: (cuz the whiskas ain't listnin').

I'm assuming Talk to the Paw was already taken.

It's not like that wouldn't have occurred to someone, right?

He's a funny guy though. His bio is very cute. It includes these lines....

"Revilo is Oliver Christianson, creator of Big Dreams, a line of Hallmark greeting cards featuring some of the most intriguing cartoons ever to be sent via U.S. mail. Revilo is also the author of the classic cartoon book Pigs in Love and has published goofy things in The National Lampoon, Esquire, People, Vogue, Cosmo and other suspicious publications."

Here's what made me sad even though Revilo's book made my day much better.

The dedication.

I found this at the thrift store!

Booquee must no longer love his adorable Moazer who gave him this adorable book!

Or else he died.

Or else she died and it was too painful to remember.

Or else they both died.

In a car accident on a bluff by the sea when they were so lost in one another's eyes they didn't notice the road ended but gravity did not.

That happens you know.

The road ends but gravity does not.

Sigh.
