don't be surprised if i fall asleep on you

i just took some nighttime cold medicine. a couple days ago i got that tell tale sore throat. it's the one that trumpets my annual fall/winter cold that i generally have for half of fall quarter and half of winter quarter. i never give my body a chance to rest, so i can't really be mad at myself for staying sick. but really, there are just so many things i want to do right now. i don't want to sit around for a whole day, thinking about how i've got this rhume. that's boring. so instead, i went to the pharmacie (no, that's not spelled wrong. it's in french) and asked for cold medicine. the woman handed me some magical french medicine...you take 3 pills during the day and one at night for four days, and then i think your cold is supposed to be gone. i started yesterday. i'll tell you how it looks in a couple days.

oh, but i also went out to le queen last night. that could set me back and it might have canceled out the magical healing powers of the french medicine. yeah yeah yeah, i should have stayed in and gone to bed early. but i recently found this quote that i think fits quite nicely here: "how can you get to heaven if you never die?"

i had pasta, half a peanut butter sandwich and a cookie for dinner tonight. helloooooo lame college kid.

whoa, WHERE did you find peanut butter???

Thus far all I'm finding is uncooked peanuts in some sort of stew and it's sick! Does Champion or Carrefour carry it?

And get better, French pharmacy medicine is awesome.

it's difficult to find the pb, but if you look hard enough, you'll probably be able to get your hands on a small jar. i find it at almost all of the major grocery stores here (monoprix, g20, ed), but it's usually in some random section, like ethnic foods or crappy foods only americans eat. there are also a couple american cafes/stores around here that carry it.

it's expensive. you can get twice the nutella for half the price. but the peanuty, creamy goodness is so worth it.
