Sickened to my stomach after watching Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat. I will probably not listen to jazz any longer.

A friend of mine asked me to go without coffee for a month to see what would happen. And I only made it through 2 weeks. Freakish, how bad withdrawal from coffee is. It's worse than quitting smoking. And now that I am drinking my first coffee in weeks, I feel almost high.
