Stomach Ruminations

[teleidoplex]

Your mind does weird things when you're up at 3:00 in the morning but really only half awake, wondering if you've got food poisoning or not.

So, there I was on the bathroom floor, marveling at how good the chill of it felt after the hot sweaty flashes I was having in bed. My stomach is gurgling a little bit less as a result (I think cold bathroom floors are as much an aid in this type of recovery as the actual expelling of the poison coursing through your body). And I start thinking about how my upset stomach is like many CGI effects (especially CGI fighting). Here it is doing all these fancy loops and rolls and gurgles and things that no stomach should do, but rather than being cool, it's just irritating and a little nauseating. I can't help thinking that I like the old-school effects, y'know, where the stomach just digests things, and it's not about showing off all the fancy things you can do with enough money and technology.

Ten minutes I spent thinking about my CGI stomach.

Finally, my stomach calmed down (it was the cold floor, man. A much more comfortable remedy than puking) and I wandered back to bed, thinking that my whole CGI stomach idea was really pretty cool, and that I should post on it in the morning. Upon reflection (and waking up properly), I'm thinking that maybe I need to check out the things I ruminate on a little more carefully before I decide they're cool (heh). Still, my ruminations did leave me with something of comedic value, so I figured I'd share them for those interesed.

You have what is commonly knows as, "Lepeurchaun's Revenge"

Afterwards, you poo a golden coin!

Now imagine being in the same state, only at Cas Hen, where the thought of attempting to lie down on the bathroom floor fills you with enough dread to power a whole platoon of nightmares.

I didn't think I was going to die that night, but I kind of wanted to, just to get the nausea and pain over with. I don't know if I got a bad mussel along with Feather, or if it was just too much Coke on not nearly enough food, but OW.

Yeah, I knew your drug addiction was a problem back then ;>

Hard to keep it hidden in a living situation like that . . . ^_~

Sorry to hear about your sickness. : /

It's a well-known fact that my digestive system hates me with a fiery passion, and goes out of it's way to give me all sorts of nice surprises along the way.

So yeah...CGI stomachs bad. Old school stomachs good.

Old adage about CGI (or new, cause I just made it up):

Wanna make a man look like he's on fire? Set him on fire.

*evil grin*

You might be my new personal hero. Heroine. Heroin.

Whatever.

cold bathroom floors saved my life on New Year's, and had Christina not been so bold as to *gasp* need to use the bathroom, i would have spent the night there. they are, ultimately, the best anti-nausea aid i've ever found.

mmm. cold bathroom floors.

I spent a few hours out of last week bonding with my cold linolieum floor, as well. I think I'm going to name mine Becky, personally.

Hi Alyc. It's Jen from Long Beach... just wanted to say hi and let you know that I added you to my friends list.

Sorry to hear that you were so sick! But at least in the middle of it you were able to kind of entertain yourself. ;)
