Neck troubles.

So, my life continues to be more “interesting” than I want. If my car’s radiator dying and getting a new job wasn’t interesting enough, I some how managed to strain my neck (specifically the left trapezius.) It wasn’t going away, so I went to the doctor, confirmed what it was. Now, I’m on Soma so the muscles can maybe relax, but that leaves pretty much useless for driving. I made a point to read up on the drug before taking my first dose, and well, it really does leave me a bit loopy as described (unlike Vicodin, which was prescribed for my smashed finger and my wisdom tooth extractions, and proved to be as useful as Advil.) I hope I’m good to go for Google I/O, but with my luck, I won’t be.

• Wait, there’s actually a drug called soma? Is a gramme better than a damn? Do you take it on the way to the orgy-porgy?

• it’s a basically a muscle relaxant with sedative side-effects with serious abuse potential as it’s a potentiator for pretty much anything that acts on the whole central nervous system (including opiates, nsaids and such,) and after long term use, there is a nasty withdrawl, so it doesn’t necessarily match the soma of brave new world fame.

  it might be a good time for me listen a certain smashing pumpkins’ song.
