I just made myself laugh outloud remembering one particular event of the move.
Everything hurt, and I was standing in the kitchen, holding a popsicle and talking with someone who will remain nameless. Let's call him Sky. (No that's too obvious.) How about Ler. Ler shook out some advil, two for him, two for me. All the cups were packed, so after popping them immediately into my mouth, I looked around foolishly trying to find some handy liquid. Failing that, I simply swallowed them dry to avoid the taste of melted advil. Ler watched this series of events still holding his pills. He then popped them back, and with a smirk, bit off a huge chunk of popsicle. I had seen the thought process, and he was clearly proud of his recognition that popsicles are essentially juice. What he didn't wait to reason through is that popsicles are frozen, chunky juice. He only realized this after he had started chewing.
Apparently advil doesn't taste so great, even with popsicles.
Posted by liz at May 6, 2004 01:46 PMThat was funny. I thought he was pretty smart too, until the chewing bit. That may have tasted great. I remember back in the day when I couldn't swollow pills I'd crush them up and mix them with a huge spoonful of sugar.
It didn't help.
And now I'm leery of spoonfuls of sugar.

Posted by: Andrew Davis at May 8, 2004 11:18 PMOk, now I'm blogging bored at work. You need to make a list of all the sites you read, so when others are bored, we can come check them out too.
I found Dooce's photo. She's a cutie. Hmm, now I'm thinking of doing a banner for the top of my site. Its too bad this computer doesn't have photoshop. Maybe I'll just do something in Paint.
Can you tell I'm bored? I'm waiting for someone to get out of a conference call, so they can give me more work. Nothing more fun than that.
"Hurry up and work, then wait for us to get you more work!"
"Why arent you working?" (luckily I haven't gotten that yet. today I'm in a nice quiet cubicle with my back to the wall, so nobody can see what I'm doing. thats nice at least.
anyway, back to actually looking like I'm working, instead of writing crap on a crap blog.
...wait...
...I mean a wonderful amazing site with interesting life commentary.
seriously, I'm done now.

Boring.
Posted by: lopolis at May 11, 2004 12:14 PMRegardless of how stupid I looked or you felt, I was successful in my goal: to swallow 2 Advil without water.
Yes, I sort of chewed the Advil. It's deceptive, though; it has that sugar coating that I usually enjoy. Inside, though, it's mostly acetylated monoglyceride and beeswax (or carnauba wax) which don't taste very good. After juggling things around for a bit, I realized the most effective solution was to simply swallow the popsicle chunks and the Advil. Although this was effective at resolving my immediate issue (lots of cold things that need to be chewed and a couple of things that can't be chewed), it did create another issue entirely -- solid frozen popsicle inside my chest, a feeling I can only describe as "uncomfortable."
Now, go post about something else.
