"I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species.
But if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that
another monster might appear somewhere in the world again."

Palliativity 214: reverse rain dance
2 weeks without vicodin.
I'm still trying to figure out the balance of my other meds, but things are definitely getting better.
The chronic pain has flared up a for brief periods in the past couple weeks, but it remains thankfully manageable with the right combination of muscle relaxants, ibuprofen and lidocaine patches.
This is the best I've felt in months. Perseverance and positivity got me here; a reverse rain dance in the downpour:

Palliativity 211: cover me
I love covers. They allow you to experience a band or song in a completely new way.
The best covers are not mere renditions, but when an artist totally geeks-out on a song enough to completely reinterpret the composition with their own aesthetic and style.
Some combinations can even help you learn to love those tunes you hate. It's really jarring when I find myself able to sing along to incidental waiting-room pop radio without having heard the original tune more than once. Interweb sound-stages like youtube only serve to make this crossover culture deeper and more complex every day.
The stranger the juxtaposition, the better the results:
