Where the sentences have no end
By briantologist | January 26, 2005
Project: Bad Fiction is tottering along, but it’s been sidelined temporarily by a colossal illness I apparently just decided I’d pick up the week before I’m supposed to have surgery. ‘Cause, y’know, I’m missing a lot of work — but am I missing enough? Sorry for the delay, but it’s gonna be great, I swear.
In other news, I’ve been lying on the couch since Sunday, cocooned in the quilt Grandma Clay made us for our wedding and slipping in and out of consciousness. Last night “Iron Eagle” was on, and I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you it had new meaning after hearing Col. Charles “Chappy” Sinclair tell me in person about gun violence. Unfortunately I fell asleep about half an hour into it, but I did get to see Doug Masters win a race in which he flew a small plane against a bully on a dirtbike and they went to the end of a canyon and back, and meanwhile Doug’s lone black friend, who had a small plane of his own (all of Doug’s friends have small planes of their own), was keeping pace with Doug and kept yelling over the radio, “Doug, keep rockin’ the tunes!“, and man, can that Doug Masters fly. Just like his old man. In that he, too, crashes at the end of the race.
In other news, I went to the Doctor yesterday about this cough, and man, the pharmaceutical reps from Opium must be paying regular visits to my doctor’s office, ’cause it sure seems like I can’t go within 50 yards of that place without getting a prescription for something with codeine in it.
Do you hear me complaining? Ho ho hooooooo, no.

There’s a pretty lucrative resale market for opiates, just so’s you know. I’d imagine a little extra scratch couldn’t hurt, what with a baby on the way and all.
Just sayin’.

You know, I’ve heard about that “resale market” and wondered about it myself, since I rarely finish my prescriptions. The problem is finding that market.
I’m guessing I either have to get a van and park near a school or go to a sporting event and recruit scalpers for help.
Maybe I should just place an ad – Medicine Cabinet Sale – all drugs must go.

poppies! poppies will put them to sleep! sleeeeeeep….
also, is Opium a reference to the empire of Matteo Alacran, or is that just a coincidence?
