item the first:
i got bit by something and i can’t even tell where the bite is because i’m covered in blotches and spots and welts.
Clark County last year had West Nile; and tonight on the news, a story about Nuke Our Lyle spending a whopping $350 to spray every single street in the city with some kind of plant extract, ostensibly to keep the skeeters away.
item the second:
…and every time my heart does something freaky, it seems more freaky than the last time. the other day only lasted a second, but it was fairly harsh, as these things go. first, the extra beat or two, as if some idiot had suddenly cranked up not just the bpm, but the volume also on my internal metronome, just for a split second, while grinning like a stupid freak at me. then, a few seconds later, the sharp, jolting pain shoots through my left shoulder.
so yeah. i’m going to die and all that. later!
