"I'm a burning effigy of everything I used to be..."

While this is not the first set of Robbie Williams lyrics I've used, these just really feel appropriate. Pretty much sums up my feelings this evening...

I'm a burning effigy
Of everything I used to be
You're my rock of empathy, my dear
...
Look me up in the yellow pages
I will be your rock of ages
Your see through fads and your crazy phases yeah
...

And I chose this picture specifically for the same reason... a tired old woman in her negligee, probably a great beauty in her day. Now she's just... old... and tired.

I'm taking a break from Organic for a bit... another bitch of a test that I haven't studied enough for tomorrow. I really don't care whether you use Sodium Borohydride, Lithium Aluminum Hydroxide, or a half-pint of moose urine to reduce a ketone into an alcohol. Does anyone?

Anyway, besides that bitching... um... so yeah, I'm still coughing. Unfortunately my personal prescription works for everything but that. And the doctor confirmed this afternoon that Jordan does, indeed, have a case of the flu. At least he prescribed some stuff that should do the trick, though... so maybe it'll be gone in a couple days.

I talked to Bob earlier... I definitely need to make a trip to see the cute little thing. Yes, sweetheart, consider yourself warned. I may even sneak you back to Conway under my shirt... or in my pants, whatever works better.
