Anyone out there read House of Leaves? After a recent RPG.net thread inspired by a recent XKCD, I'm interested in the book, but I'd like to get some verification as to what people think of it.

I certainly think that's an unfair characterization, and even though I don't agree with all her views (okay, probably none) she's certainly done nothing to...

Ohhhh, SHREWD. Never mind.

So there I was at work today. I was feeling fine, right? So I headed up to the cube farm to log in, and noticed something strange. I couldn't speak.

I could, technically. A deep, rasping voice. I joked to my co-workers that my voice had finally broken.

I took some time off the phones, took some more time to write an article for the company newsletter. Asked repeatedly for non talking work.

In the end, I had to spend the last couple hours on the phone.

Afterwards, I went to the clinic to get looked at. After reading a bit of The Lies of Locke Lamora, I went in to see the doc and was told that I had a viral infection in my throat that was affecting my larynx. I had, therefore, to refrain for speaking for the next four days.

Look, if you've ever met me, you know for a fact that that's gonna be tough, right? I'm a loquacious fellow at the best of times. Unless I've gotten sullen, I'm gonna talk. So when the doc said "Keep it shut 'til Tuesday", well, it was like he'd just slapped me in the face with a trout.

So, yes. I've cancelled at least one upcoming engagement, and will just spend time recuperating and relaxing. I hear the teapot whistling!

Wish me well.
