Feb 26 07: zincing fast
So I stayed up late last night to watch the Oscars with a friend, because, well. Gay national holiday, and all that.1 But the nascent cold I successfully drove back on Friday—or perhaps one of its cousins—has returned, and it’s angry.
We’re going to try a second application of the techniques that worked so well last week: miso soup, spicy food, a decent night’s sleep (for once), and as many zinc lozenges as I can handle. Alas! That means another day with Zinc Mouth. Gleh. My kingdom for a cold-fighting solution that doesn’t leave one’s mouth tasting like mine tailings.
1 Not that I’d seen, like, any of the movies in question. Wait, no. I saw Pan’s Labyrinth, which I loved loved loved, and The Queen. Basically I watched the Oscars so I could see Helen Mirren accept her award. I would cheerfully watch Helen Mirren read Chinese take-out menus for two hours, no lie. Beyond that, we amused ourselves by making derisive and/or adoring comments about the attendees.
