Further to last night's post... the one thing the doctor *did* say was that my right ear was pretty full of crap whereas my left ear wasn't, and that this "Might have something to do with it"... but all the advice she could give was that if the problem didn't go away in a few days, see my GP about getting my ear cleaned out.
So, yeah... might be viral, might be just pressure imbalance / crap, but basically, it's not some kind of lingering concussion damage.
The only thing that cheered me up last night was the thought "OK, so she's said there's nothing wrong... that's annoying, but at least she didn't say you were pissing blood out of your brain."
The worst thing is that I have to get through the next couple of days putting up with this!
It's like coding on a pirate ship!
ahh, well.
YARRRR, ME BUCKO!
PIECES OF HATE!

Slightly better
Aug. 21st, 2003 04:39 pmFeeling a bit less spinny today, though it's still fucking annoying... should be getting a last-minute GP appointment with my *old* doctor in ealing tomorrow morning, hoperfully to have my ear emptied of what I can only assume is congealed angst.
And yes, something which had occurred to me and Matt North asked... I do indeed use headphones quite a bit. I dare say I should look at the levels at which I run them. It's not like I set out to hurt myself (as the mix suffers apart from anything), but I know full well that prolonged use at high volume is a fine way to knacker your ears. Fuck knows if it's related, but it certainly isn't going to help.
Listening to "boxesoftricksandtraps" (on speakers...) for the first time in a while (well, since it was finished... I tend to do the equivalent of post-coital roll-over-and-fall-asleep with music... not listening again for a good while after writing it). 'm still dead chuffed with it, so that's a bonus.
Trying to work out if we can either take-with or cut a hundred CDRs of that to dish out in canadadada as it'd be well nice to be able to hit loads of receptive minds the other side of the pond.
Finishing off work, still feeling daunted at the things that need sorting between now and tuesday and a bit down that I won't be hitting InFest this year (I loved it last year).
Heh. Just had an idea. If anyone's doing InFest and fancies it, how about being DeathBoy By Proxy and getting some photos doing something like:
* Sexual Exploits featuring a squeaking dog-toy
* Drug-consumption in innappropriate places / manners
* Inadvertently causing DJs to fear for their lives for not playing DeathBoy (Dave the Hat, I'm looking at YOU!)
* Requiring an interpreter
* Locating goths and proclaiming "SHIT! GOTHS!" (you know the rest...)
Extra points for drunkenly attempting to have sex with Fross or Lee Chaos (ooooooh, they'll thank me for that...)
:D
Just an idea :)
roighto. worky worky.
