A Farewell to Clindamycin

I'll be done with my damn' antibiotics today, calloo, callay! Just as well, since I've been fumbling my dosage schedule the last couple of days. I can only hope that my elder years do not hold quite so intensive a dosage regimen, since I am clearly not constituted to remember to bring the damn' drugs along all day. If at some point I permanently pick up a four-times-daily drug, I see a self-timed, alarm-enabled, fur-lined pill cozy in my future. I hope they come in colors other than baby blue, baby pink, and beige. The Boomers are way overdue in generating a trend for attractive, hip, brightly colored pharmaceutical caddies. Or maybe I just haven't looked recently. After all, Sue had one heck of an attractive psychedelic-swirl anodized walking cane when we saw her at Orycon.

Still, for now we must make sure all my flora are good and dead, lest drug-resistant killer zombie bacillae arise. So I forge ahead, popping blue pills and thinking of Myst Classic as I do it. "Blue pills! Give me the blue pills!" (Yeah. Yeah. Pills. Pages. Whatever. It's all blue.)

It sure will be nice to have that constant bitter tang out of my mouth some day. And my ears are very close to clear, so that's all right, then.

Seattle Fans: Tun is this Sunday

T'is the season to raise a cup of cheer anyhow, so you might as well do it among fans, eh? The Seattle Tun, a Second Sunday collation of fans with beers, is an open pubmeet for Seattle Area SF fans who like to socialize, talk, argue, gossip, and drink beer with other like-minded fans. If you expect to be in Seattle, and enjoy a bit of beer-lubricated conversation on a wide range of topics, only some of which include Sinus Friction, please feel free to join in.

Where: The Pub @ Third Place, Ravenna
6504 20th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98115
Pub: (206) 523-0217
When: Sunday, December 9
4:30 pm - 6:30 pm or later

The Pub is open 3-10pm on Sundays; NB that the bookstore upstairs closes at 7:00 pm so if you need to do a bit of print-oriented holiday shopping, or want to exit by way the bookstore door, you need to do it before then. Otherwise it's just a quick nip 'round the block from the pub door to the parking lot.
