Imagining Calculating The Amount Of Time Spent Staring At A Blinking Cursor.

First things first. Prince Jazzbo was removed from the ICU last night and placed into a regular room for the duration of his hospital stay. All of the tubes have been removed from his face, but most of the other wires and tubes are still in place. I was trying to describe to Dave how it looked when I first got to the hospital Saturday night. Jazz was lying sprawled on a bed, tubes and wires running into him from every which way, he looked blotchy and swollen, and his gaping mouth was black from the charcoal being pumped into his guts. He looked like a plague victim trying to be assimilated into the Borg. You know what they say, all will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

After he gets out of the hospital, they’re sending him to Little Rock for psychiatric treatment. I looked up the hospital to find out a little about the place and was surprised that I was surprised. He’s going to that 5 letter word that all good drunks fear most. REHAB. It never dawned on me that they’d send him there. And the thought that it never occurred to me surprised me. It is only logical. You tried to end your life by abusing drugs and alcohol? You will be sent to a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Makes sense.

Enough about that. Today is Monday. That means that I and and select few others have to go to work, while the rest of you get to lounge around and enjoy this Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Day from the comfort of your couches. If you get bored, feel free to come by Lippincottonia and help us hang cabinets in the new kitchen. I think school is out for me and my students, so no tutoring today and possibly no class tonight. Good. Maybe I can take a shower for a change and write this week’s article. I would say that I might get in a little Skyward Sword, but I’m trying to realistic here. As soon as I get the other stuff done, I’m probably going back up to the hospital to sit around with Prince Jazzbo. And stare at him like this:

I can’t help but feel that I’ve forgotten something important. Oh, well. I’m sure it will become apparent soon enough. Anywho, I’m off to work. More soon. ~SC
