i was sick and drunk and wanted to party, insisted on going to the club. actual nausea and lethargy walking through the scandinavian dark cold. suddenly i remember the painful and disgusting voyages of Blood Meridian and how this is nothing in comparsion to the blood, dust and indians, then i felt magically better, as if i had taken some magical pill.

that same night i met my current girlfriend of 3 months.
