mind the gap

08 March 2007

My friend Angela and I have this ongoing joke about bad Patrick Swayze films. It usually involves us chanting the word "Icepick" over and over again as if it was a death dirge. Because Patrick Swayze films are torture, the way an icepick is a brutal and yet surprisingly effective way to give yourself a lobotomy. When I'm in the midst of a migraine, I often chant to myself "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicepiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick" in the Patrick Swayze method in order to remind myself that there is a way to relive the throbbing pressure behind my left eye. Pluncking my eye out sounds like a good idea. Refreshingly so.

I've taken 2.5mg of Zomig and now the spacey Plant Bantar mood starts. I'm out of it and this my friends, is not a good way to feel when trying to teach a room full of teenagers. At least they're being quiet while writing their essays. They're either writing or doodling. At the moment, I really don't care which.
