I fell in love with the Eighth World Wonder

If I ever find the woman who sings the songs with those lyrics in the chorus, I am going to gut her and strangle her with her own intestines for writing such godawfully stupid lyrics and then crafting such an amazingly catchy song around them that they have lodged in my head like shrapnel from a landmine.

*Le sigh*

I am in some serious pain right now, too....Not emotional, for once--or, at least, not entirely. I'm talking straight-up firey-needles-being-jabbed-into-shoulder-and-knees pain here. I guess it's just the weather setting off the ol' arthritis, since I haven't really done anything seriously strenuous in a while...but it's driving me nucking futs. Tylenol doesn't do squat, and I only have one Vicodin left anyway--which I don't want to take, because that stuff turns me into the Walking Dead and I need to be alert right now. I guess I'll need to bust out the heating pad or just get Kristi to curl up on my knees and purr, because that way I get both warmth and massage!

I've got some serious stuff to accomplish in the next few days: the semester's ending so a ton of grading work is coming my way, I have to work out the details of deferred grades and summer extension tutoring for two students who actually deserve that since their missing class for so much was for very good reasons and they're remarkably responsible otherwise, I need to finish up the final mastering on two last NYARLATHOTEP tracks for The Circle and The Line, I have to dump a ton of musical stuff onto the new Download.com music sites I'm putting up for my innumerable projects, I have to do the basic layout for raincrystal's poetry anthology, I have to send out emails and CDs to all the local record stations and goth-lists and stuff announcing the availability of the new Illusion of Joy CD on HPL Labs, and...OY! Gonna be a busy next few days.

Need. Painkillers. That. WORK.

I have some percocet's....

Any and all of the -cets just make my tummy hurt and don't do squat for pain, alas. :( The only painkiller I've found that actually works for the really high-level shit that the bursitis and arthritis sometimes pump out is Vicodin. Hell, even straight *morphine* didn't touch my shoulder...yet, for some reason, Vicodin *did*. There's something in the molecular structure of codeine that seems to be able to work pretty well for me. Heh.
