I was feeling fine when I woke up, but by 3pm, I had a sore throat and was congested and felt like I was catching the flu. But last night was also the Smog show at Cactus Cafe, and I was determined to go.

So I went, and the show was great. The show was almost entirely the tracks from the newest album, a river ain't too much to love. Joanna Newsome played electric piano while Bill Callahan played guitar and sang. Awesome show. Awesome.

Then I tried to sleep last night, and I didn't do so well. I kept waking up with a screaming sore throat and feeling like I was going to suffocate. This is the first time I've felt sick since I bought the neti pot two years ago. Normally these things keep me down for a week or so, but I'm going to neti the shit out of my nose and gargle with the warm salt water until this is gone. I have a standing karaoke gig every sunday night, you know.
