I made it to vote. Cloudy and overcast and me in sunglasses. Lots of ‘WTF?’ looks for that one. Can barely get to the polls because some candidate is circumlocuting to a gaggle of spotlights. Throw up arms like a vampire and grumble for them to let me get by so I can actually vote.
If I can get there today, I’m sure you can too!

Wake up at about 11:45 PM for an unknown reason. Decide to watch Dixville Notch vote at midnight. See 5 people check each other in to vote. Same billionaire wins both parties primaries. Lose faith in humanity. Try to go back to sleep, have trouble. Wake up again at 5:30 AM with a migraine that rivals some of the worst I’ve ever had. Wonder out loud (in colorful language) how I can drive to work today, let alone vote in a fucking presidential primary. Realize my problem is some sort of representative microcosm of American healthcare and politics. Lose a little more hope. Post about all of it in the hopes that I can convince more people to vote to compensate for everyone who can’t, or won’t, or who’ve been disenfranchised. Proceed to lay on couch while Bruce Cockburn’s ‘Call it Democracy’ bounces around inside my head.
Please get out and vote. Thank you

As I’m lying here on my side with a migraine, the left side of my face is on a pillow and I’m facing the back of the couch. It’s at this point that I notice that the area my left eye is focusing on appears to be pulsating in an out of focus in perfect time with my heartbeat.
That’s normal, right?

I just experienced dizzying vertigo, and… finally… auras for the first time. Awesome!
Fucking Jingle Bells…

I am going through a migraine. And I’m having terrible tinnitus. Well, I just found a spot on my temple, that when I press it, alters the pitch and volume of the ringing. I just played myself Jingle Bells inside my head. I now have a blinding migraine but I am still attempting to typing this out while I laugh at myself.
