I paid a visit to the fine Ochsner ER last night after a show at the Shim Sham that I didn't enjoy too much because of my suspicious flu-like symptoms. I was entertaining thoughts of death as I rode in an ambulance after my fever shot up about 6 degrees. I was able to skip the lumbar puncture (read: spinal tap). Needless to say, I will be investing in a meningitis vaccination as soon as possible.

I really wish it would rain.
