Near Death Experience and Other Light-Hearted Comedies

I am in the middle-passage of a case of the Flu. I know how and why people die from this- they give up. I was trying to figure out how to describe my physical state- I mean the sensation of it. I came home on Monday at about three in the afternoon and went to bed. I immediately entered a state of semi-consciousness where I stayed for about a day- but I didn't dream- (not that I know of, anyway.) Instead it seemed as if I was fully conscious of myself within myself. The outer self was as a great cavern of discomfort- every motion was only at the result of some massive effort- successive waves of arctic wind followed by desert wind followed by arctic wind, rolled through it. And I was alone in this cavern- I remember myself thinking, "hey, I can think.....that must mean that I'm still alive."
So far, I've survivied the worst part and look forward to a return to my fully functional status (whatever that was/is.) But this gave me an idea that perhaps in the future, there will be people who gather around the idea of sponsoring events that allow the participants to enter a state of near death. Oh, wait, that's a Siggur Ros concert.
(I really like Siggur Ros.)

The Flu

Crazy dreams where facts collide from different parts of the file system- an exquisite corpse (almost literally- because I thought about being dead and felt that it couldn't be too much worse than this) of commercials and football and cat and dog and soup and water than pee than nod off then wake because I can't breathe than pee again but it's too cold to get out of bed...........

I think I was watching something about mummies because these faces came back to me this morning.
