After a couple of days on Cipro for my sinusitis, I decided to call it quits -- the insomnia, the stomach cramps, all too much for me. In addition, the prescription-strength antihistimine I have dried out my eyes so badly I actually scratched my cornea. In my sleep. With my eyelid. So it's back to the ol' Alka Seltzer Cold meds for me. I'd rather have cold symptoms than any of that nonsense. Totally unrelated, don't know if any of you caught Slate Mag's feature yesterday on "Crafting the Vote," which offered up a selection of party-specific crafts to help political candidates capture the very important craft vote. My favorite RepubliCrafts were the homeland security blanket and the gun cozy. For the DemoCrafts, I favored the hand-stitched RU-486 carrying case and the macaroni portrait of the third-party spoiler. Excellent.
Tonight Chris and I are going to see Crowded House at the Michigan Theater. Any chance to see a concert -- or, heck, even a movie -- there, is a grand one and these guys are one of my all-time favorite bands. I just hope we're not sitting in the balcony, since it sways unsettlingly when fans get to their feet. Hard to enjoy a concert when you're worried about your impending death in a balcony-collapse disaster...
