<p>My throat is silently yelling today. If I could hear it, it would say, &#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="Jogging" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jogging">Jogging</a> in Pittsburgh after two months in the Mountains was stupid.&#8221; I feel the punishment.</p>
<p>The smoke from last night&#8217;s Elise&#8217;s Playground show didn&#8217;t help at all. Belvedere&#8217;s share&#8217;s the smoker&#8217;s fog with the late Upstage. My morning sit up&#8217;s translated to <a class="zem_slink" title="Hunger" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger">hunger pangs</a>. Now, I&#8217;m here having Irish Tea listening to the Last Internationale.</p>
<p>As I try to relax, I start captching up on my Social Media accounts. Captcha&#8217;s are a rough fate for social networking. I  breeze through them quickly, except for today. I&#8217;ve fail 1 in 10 captcha&#8217;s. How Lame. To think, it&#8217;s just a bunch of distorted letters and on average 7-8 key strokes. Yet being sick, I am unable to efficiently do them. I should just get a cellphone and do the &#8220;No More Captcha&#8221; plan. Possibly pay a third world national to enter them. Wait! There is a hypothesis in this.</p>
<p><strong>Hypothesis</strong>: Captcha fail/success rates are correlated to illness.<br />
Instead of labeling someone as a spammer, Myspace  should start saying, &#8220;We&#8217;ve notice you&#8217;ve been failing captcha&#8217;s pretty regularly. Please seek medical attention.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>I am seeing a doctor tomorrow.</em></p>
