hey, maybe it's covid. really. as far as i know, i never had it, and i never got vaccinated at all.
i suspect i was actually one of the first people on the continent to get it; i think i picked it up at a plaid concert in detroit in december, 2019 [plaid having come to the us after a european tour], and that i unknowingly took it to toronto with me the next week. i initially thought it was the six paper joint handed to me as a persie at the armed show the night before, but now i think it was covid.
i think that was the last time i got noticeably sick at all. this is weird; sore throat, plugged ears, no cough. it's like being sick without being sick.
