For the first time in ages, my Monday morning blog entry isn’t about my “exciting” weekend activities. No distant getaways, no bars, no fancy dinners, no game nights.<\/p>\n
Just me, a box of Kleenex and Comcast.<\/p>\n
In fact, if it wasn’t for the TV, I would have had no idea that all of this flooding was taking place around me (60% of Saugus is under water?).<\/p>\n
Mike surprised me with a visit on Saturday and bought me the DVD to “The 40-Year Old Virgin”, but other than that I had no contact with any human beings.<\/p>\n
What I did get, was an education in 1980’s Heavy Metal on VH-1. Apparently, May is Heavy Metal month. Did you know that one of the founding members of Ratt developed AIDS and died of a heroine overdose? Or that one of the founding member of Pantera was shot and killed on stage during a concert in Ohio?<\/p>\n
Fascinating. If anything, that should tell you NOT to found a heavy metal band.<\/p>\n
It also made my headaches worse since, truth be told, all of that yelling and screaming gave me a headache. I suppose my friend, Jason, would have loved it. But it probably wasn’t the best choice of programming for me. I just didn’t have the energy to reach over to the other side of the sofa to retrieve the remote.<\/p>\n
Now it’s Monday and I’ve got my last two classes tonight and tomorrow. I’m VERY tempted to skip class tonight. I’m feeling a bit better, but still horrible.<\/p>\n
But at least I’m comforted in knowing that I’m not a hair band musician.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
