Sick Day, The Sequel
This is the part where lying out the couch all day starts to get really boring. My cold is worse today than it was yesterday, boohoo. I am fuzzy-headed hopped up on Nyquil and watching Extreme Makeover. (Scary!) I’m accepting deliveries of Chicken Noodle soup and fresh squeezed OJ if you happen to be in the East Village vicinity.
I have no energy to post interesting things today, but for your entertainment, you can always catch up on the gender diversity at conferences brouhaha which stayed smokin’ hot throughout the weekend. Of particular interest are Anil Dash’s two long, thoughtful posts: The Old Boys Club is for Losers and The Essentials of Web 2.0 Your Event Doesn’t Cover. There’s also a long wrap-up over on BlogHer by Virginia DeBolt, Gender Diversity at Web Conferences has some extensive quotes and good links too. So much drama! Let’s hope something good comes of it.
Gender diversity not your bag? How about the long article from yesterday’s New York Times Magazine about Jeff Wall? The Luminist posits that Jeff Wall’s “large, glowing, elaborately staged pictures are helping to make photography the painting of our times.”
Still want more? (Don’t you have any work to do? It’s Monday, for chrissakes!) Why not browse my Links Archive?
Also of note: I’m still interested in additional input on my List of Women Speakers for Your Conference. Yesterday I reserved listofwomen.com and listofwomenspeakers.com and I’ve got big plans for those destinations.
I also registered imafuckingsteamroller.com but that’s another story.
Me? I’m heading over to Go Fug Yourself to see what the Fug girls have to say about Anne Hathaway’s ginormous bow and holy shit was was JLo thinking?

NyQuil’s been no good since they got rid of the pseudoephedrine. (Damn meth makers–or damn Combat Meth Epidemic Act, depending on your perspective–made it really tough to find a decent decongestant.) Feel better soon, Jen.

I was wondering why I didn’t seem to have the same kick I’ve come to know and love. Fucking meth-heads.
I wonder if I can get a scrip for the real deal…

I’ve become something of an expert on cold medicine in the past few weeks–I was hit with a bad one recently–and what I found was that I could still get pseudoephedrine, but I had to take a little card up to the pharmacist, show my ID, sign some piece of paper (I was so sick, I have no idea what I signed), and then, after all that, I was allowed to buy one box. I was trying to buy two different brands of cold medicine, and I had to choose one. I was kinda cranky so I was all like, “How do you know I’m not just gonna go to the drugstore down the road and buy the second brand?” They said there’s some database, but I find that doubtful. If the government can’t even keep the No Fly List straight, how can they keep track of who buys Sudafed?
