OK, that sucked.

I have never had such a violent reaction to contrast before. About an hour after the PET scan finished I suffered a really bad case of intestinal distress, and just feel like people have taken hammers to me.

After a mostly-sleepless night, I called in.

Of course, it might not be the contrast (although calling sick because of radioactive sugar was one of the best excuses ever) but maybe something I picked up walking around. kshandra hasn't been feeling well since her flu shot. I suspect she caught something while waiting for the shot and I may have gotten it from her.

Whee.

This morning I woke up in so much general pain that I took a vicodin.

Metallica Vault for the win.

Over at LiveMetallica.com they have The Vault, shows from older tours. Down at the bottom are a selection of free downloads of a variety of shows, mostly from the eighties.

Right now I'm listing to Metallica play the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, October 18th, 1982. For the record, the band and their ages?

James Hetfield, 19
Cliff Burton, 20
Lars Ulrich, 18
Dave Mustaine, 21

They suck, but you can hear the beginnings of the sound that made them great.

BYE-BYE DODGERS!!!!!

Philadelphia Phillies: 10
Los Angeles Dodgers: 4

Phillies repeat as NL Champions, and will face the Yankees.

The Dogturds get to watch it on TV with the rest of us. Winning a division means nothing, really, it's winning the League anf going to the Series that matters.

I can safely watch baseball again.
