Ostensibly Shingles, once without namesake Shingles (manifested in rash “Steven,” back when I didn’t know anyone name Steven) has lost motivation to continue as an all purpose health-tracking blog.
Updates skipped include the return of myokymia, suspected Lyme’s Disease, sore muscles, and a root canal.
Final update: Prescribed “use at your discression”...

BACK FROM WILLIMANTIC
Back from Willimantic.
What a cute place to live, if not staid and scorching.
Like always, my clothes decision was an albatross that was the only down point of the trip. (besides not shooting sun dick) The New York City:Willimantic air conditioning ratio is extremely weighted.
But most importantly, Steven was referenced twice during the trip. In great whisper and obscure reference, my shingles...

transcribing all the live-long day: shooting pain in the left index finger.
christening the shooting pain kenneth.
or rather, my body isn’t ailing and it’s killing my blogging
my body is falling apart and my tumblarity isnt making it any better
sleep deprivation causes the return of myokymia..or..eyelid twitching…not noticable to people outside by body, but certainly a slightly worrysome affair.
i dont want to be the kind of person whose eyelid twitches.
dry skin, sunburn…
SANS PICTURES.
for your sake
bike seat left too high, four hours biking. bruises on the ass.
sore arms.
Lacking disgusting or gruesome bodily events completely corresponds with lack of updates.
Believe me, I am trying.

odd napping patterns induced by stomach aches, heartburn, and apathy seem to have undone any regularly scheduled sleeping.
antidote includes extended aim conversations, eric rodriguez, mtv juvies, lynne ramsay
-6:20 AM
exhaustion prevails, including aches and lethargy.
much effort to realign sleeping schedule…have succeeded after two weeks.
caffeine addiction thrives.
extended walks around the city, aching foot arches.
lack of scheduled meals. frequently eating string cheese, leftover chocolate cake, hummus. manifestation in acne.

i reversed my sleeping schedule, i woke up at four thirty to a text message and promptly finished my jar of olives.
i can’t remember much of going to the diner with my dad, but i know i gave him a suitcase of heirlooms.
there is nothing like intentionally not staring at someone on the subway, not talking to them and thinking, “we have so many mutual facebook friends”
where we're going we've been down this road before

i stayed up until seven am the first night editing and scratching film and then slept till two and then ate some fried dough and watched some bands and jasmine and co came up and there was whimsical skipping and frolicking and the cool kids played and they were good.
telepathe was also good, but no one seemed to care. the rest of the music sucked.
and so i woke up...
i had a very high fever and did not even know how long i had been there. i have only very blurred recollections of it all. rats bit me on my elbow and in my armpit, and apparently they wanted to use the wool from my sweater for a nest because when i stretched out i discovered a huge hole. i remember being woken by one rat who ran up and bit me on the cheek, and then saw it scurry away into a...
“these films tell about the illusions people can construct for themselves. and why people need to construct illusions…what to do? create an illusion. be my guest…with an illusion in your head you can stand the loneliness better. be my guest…you learn so much about loneliness and how it makes us lie. and how wrong it is that we lie, and how stupid.”

the wound had an ok day. stressful, long…
the real danger was post-high five, in an embrace entangling fingers. there was an outburst, at which the real danger stopped…but the pain continued.
running extension cords in the dirt and rubbing hands did not help. the things for film.
such as: another cut, another abrasion while spinning bike wheels for macro lens shot.
tomorrow is one...
health services unsheathed the wounded finger.
“it appears to be healing very healthy,” they said. they gave me more bacitracin.
the skin flap, slowly reattaching itself to the rest of the finger, is very numb.
bike riding seems to irritate the problem area.
hitting, forgetting about, and accidently slamming the problem area seems to increase irritation and pain.
the cut on the...
you got to fight for your right to post pictures of your infected fingers on your blog
“did you call me?”
“oh, that was on friday. we talked right after it”
“oh ok, here’s your grandmother.”
“hi! i just saw the circus for the first time and wow!”
“yeah, it’s meant to impress”
“i’m glad i finally got to see it before i….go”
“in your films, your subjects will be walking or going across the frame and you’ll cut before they finish moving completely across the frame. is that going against the conventional placement of ‘this-is-where-i’m-supposed-to-cut’ or cutting on action?”

“a lot of life boils down to the question of whether a person is going to be able to realize his fantasies, or else end up surviving only through compromises he can’t face up to. the way i figure it, heaven and hell are right here on earth. heaven is living in your hopes and hell is living your fears. it’s up to each individual which one he chooses.” jelly paused “i...
when gideon was done yelling at me i left and ran up the steps with my fists in my front hoodie pocket and i tripped.

and no one was around because i was in the basement of the performing arts center.
now i’m beginning to get the bruise.

steven has disintegrated into a slight discoloring. shingles symptoms fade.
an overall feeling of less grumpiness prevails. a satisfying nap between the hours of (approx.) 6 to (definitely) 9:54pm was a key component.

a loud, scratchy cough appears to be developing. juice helps, but i think the...

health services, etc
visit to health services established the rash is going away. verified that blood work would have to be done to diagnose shingles. it is pretty well accepted that it is shingles.
my therapist as well as my roommate’s therapist are very concerned.
the rash was christened “steve” early this afternoon. the agreement was reached after a similar response over the phone. by...
the weekend.
the rash remains.
symptoms include headache and feverishness.
frequent naps, tire, and bitchiness as well.
waiting on a diagnosis.
