Wherein I Digress About a Killers Song

The Killers - New Music - More Music Videos

Well, all of my sleeping was apparently due to my body preparing to fight a vicious virus. I’m coughing up a lung as I write this. I was hoping I would magically awake and have energy this morning, it being Saturday and all and my having already been battling this thing for most of the week, but noooooo. Yet again, my energy account is bankrupt. (Uf, a financial metaphor. Must. Stop. Reading. Newspaper.) So I’ve been lying around the apartment watching Plaza Sesamo and the video “Human” by the Killers, which every music station seems to be playing on a continuous loop. VH1 literally played it back to back. And the song ain’t all that. Although the lyrics are kinda amusing, not to mention I’m predetermined to like any Hunter S. Thompson reference (it refers to a quote of his about America raising a generation of dancers) because I’m plowing through Fear and Loathing and, well, he was one heck of a deadpan witty man.

Presciently, it seems, I bought a puzzle a couple of weeks ago and I have been rockin’ and rollin’ on that thing during my house rest. I don’t believe I’m bragging when I say, “I have a gift.” Yes, I said it out loud to myself. It’s a 1000 piece puzzle of beetles and I completed all of the borders BY MYSELF (with just the slightest bit of help from my apartment mate). What can I say? It seems it’s never too late to find yourself magical and amazing.
