mapsedgeWell, happy fucking St. Patrick's day. An Irish holiday that the Irish celebrate with Gaelic pride festivals, fireworks, and attendance at Mass, and that the Americans celebrate by dressing up like Scotsman, listening to Raggae covers of "Go Lassie Go", and drinking pasteurized beer. No thanks. I'm wearing my green shirt to avoid the ridicule of the "kiss me I'm oirish" morons out there, but that's it. I'll do my Irish imigration and rebel tunes tomorrow night at the coffee house and call it good.
I'm irritable because I'm feeling in my chest the same thing MLJM suffered from a month ago and is currently revisiting. Hurts to cough, chest feeling tight, and I've psyched myself up for this concert and may not get to do it. Can't breathe = can't sing. One's sort of dependent on the other, dontcha know. Got the menthol ointment on my chest*, plan to drink lots of hot liquid today, and hope for the best.
* a terrific product called Soltice, like Vicks but stronger. The kind of stuff you can't rub on your chest for more than a week without it starting to eat through to your ribcage. Can't get it north of the Kentucky line, so far as we've been able to find.
