No reviews today

..because I did not actually stay to listen to any of the bands at Pipes in the Valley yesterday.

I wanted to. I really wanted to. But the cold I've been fighting for a few days was worse yesterday, so I asked shadowflyer to pick up some DayQuil for me so I could ignore it.

Bad idea.

DayQuil is missing the antihistamine part of NyQuil, so it's not supposed to make you sleepy. That means that what's left is acetaminophen (which is, as far as I've been able to tell by results, pretty much inert), the cough suppressant dextromethorphan (damned near inert, although not QUITE as useless) and a whacking huge dose of pseudoephedrine.

You know, the stuff that's chemically similar to SPEED.

I took it right before we left the house. By the time we got to the plaza, I was feeling irritable and paranoid and dizzy like when River is panicking on Miranda and the camera is going round and round and round in circles and when Dicey Riley started to play the first bagpipe blast went through my head like a spike.

The soup that shadowflyer bought me on the sensible grounds that it might be low blood sugar didn't help either. Didn't hurt, just didn't help.

So I let everyone know, and walked to the bus stop downtown and caught a bus home.

So no Dark Millenium last night either, and no Six Flags today... also no pheresis donation today, which I feel bad about, because there was someone in need, but they don't want you when you're sick...

I ought to feel better soon, and I start my new job on the 10th.
