Year-old Strepsils

2005 — a good year for Strepsils?
I think I may be coming down with something. Saying as much this afternoon to Nikipedia, the latter delved into one of the drawers of his filing cabinet and fished out a box of Strepsils. “Aren’t Strepsils supposed to be translucent?” I said, examining the orange Mentos lookalikes embedded in the quarter-used blister pack the box contained. Nikipedia picked up the box. “Er — expired in 2005.”

I popped a couple anyway.

Monstrous pix
Just uploaded photos from this evening’s Galvanize event, “Monsters & Other Animals: Poems and Fictions“. Unless you know the people in the photos, however, you might not find them all that interesting. But there is one of me holding what was either a very nice gift or a massive insult.

    I hope those aren’t from Nikipedia’s glow-in-the-dark-pacifier raving days.

    But seriously, too much work makes a girl sick. Get some rest my friend.

    You’re absolutely right, Oso. I think I’m experiencing a little post-travel, during-work burnout right now. Two early-morning flights within the space of a few days and teaching yesterday in a classroom where the a/c only worked for part of the day, would do that to a gal.

    Going to try and rest up today — don’t want to miss my annual Divali gathering tomorrow evening!

    i would have popped a couple too, shucks. “They’re more like guidelines than rules!”

    It wasn’t so much the expiry date that gave me pause as the fact that these Strepsils were seriously opaque! In my experience, fresh Strepsils are almost transparent.
