It was a spectacle, no I mean a miracle.

I have arrived home from work. I was falling asleep on the bus, which you can see me waiting for here. I don't think I snore sitting up. Surely someone would notice the buzz saw noises and my nodding head and give me an elbow to the ribs. Surely.

My lovely and talented girlfriend, a.k.a. antarcticlust is miserably sick with the same cold I've had since Friday. This is the first time I've had a cold/flu/bug/illness that has lasted more than a day since last spring. My super immune system and I are almost done with this one, but Jacqui's bout of blah is just peaking. I wonder what the vegetarian version of the magical chicken noodle soup cure is.

My nervous system has gone into power-saver mode and my neural screensaver has just kicked in, playing star fields and animated fish across my visual display. Nightynight!

You could try making her some tofu-noodle soup in vegetable stock. Does she eat eggs? If so, make it egg-drop. Just slowly add and stir a beaten egg into the boiling stock. Easy peesy!

I hope everyone feels better soon :)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the tip. She LOVES soup, so I'll have to give that a try :)

Holy crap! I'll have to find the potato soup recipie I used a couple months ago. It's goddamned amazing. I made it for Zach with fake bacon instead of real bacon and it blew us both out of the water.

Sweet, do that! Thank you!

I hope she feels better soon.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) I'm pretty much fine now, and I think Jacqui's around the bend, so hopefully all will be SYSTEMS FUNCTIONAL very soon :)

thats a great jacket in that picture, and try making her vegitable soup or something like that

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks. My jacket appreciates the compliments :) I didn't know if vegetable soup had the same magic anit-sick properties that chicken noodle does.

[3starsinmyeyes.livejournal.com]

well chicken noodle soup is amazing with the anti-sickness, but you have to work with what you got, and that would be a sick lil vegitarian ;) I hope she feels better though

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) She seems to be doing better already, so hopefully the worst is over.

[3starsinmyeyes.livejournal.com]

p.s if the jacket ever gets tired of you, it could have a vary interesting life at my house :)

make her magical veggie noodle soup, duh...

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

But what if the magic comes from CHICKENS and not VEGETABLES?!?!

nice coat!

and my sure-fire cure for ailments is ginger tea. drink tons and see how quickly you improve.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

Ginger tea, you say? Jacqui's a big ginger fan, so I bet that would go over quite nicely.

[holographia.livejournal.com]

oh yes, ginger tea. i used to get head colds that would last upwards of three weeks. i'd lose my voice and everything! once i started drinking ginger tea the colds would dissapear within 3-4 days.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's awesome. I rarely have a cold last longer than a week, but I have an uberpower immune system (knock on wood) so I'll definitely give the ginger a try. Thank you!

I'm sure that at least one of the great scientists of our time has figured out a way to extract the chicken from the magical chicken noodle soup whilst still leaving in all the brothy leprechaun goodness that is "The Cure-All".
You should try Google searching "Albert Einstein Chicken"...
or maybe "Victor Frankenstein Magic Soup"

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

How about "poultry-based immortality"?

[frog-gone-wrong.livejournal.com]

But that wouldn't solve our problem, would it? I though we were trying to get the lass better, not keep her in a perpetual state of blah-cold-sickieness.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Ah, true. Damn semantics!
