Celebrate the New Year with Laryngitis!!

For some reason, any time there’s a holiday with potential for partying and general acts of awesomeness, I get sick. Whether it’s Christmas, Halloween, or even Canada day, some how I manage to at least have a cold. This year I got a cold Christmas day, which has now progressed to full blown laryngitis. The following are ways that my voice can be/has been described;

• An 85 year old lung cancer patient still smoking while on a ventilator.
• Jerry Seinfeld doing his Godfather impression.
• A waitress who has been working at the same diner since the 50s.
• The chick from the little mermaid had she attempted to talk after that half octopus chick stole her voice.
• Any of the mad men characters had they been real, and still alive today.
• The worst drag queen ever.
• A mouse trying to talk via computer to someone in another country while using a microphone purchased at the dollar store.

So basically, any New Years plans are cancelled, since I can’t call anyone to coordinate, and apparently I’m not supposed to drink. So it’s looking like the evening will be spent watching True Blood because apparently it is damn good. It’ll be the first night in 2 weeks where the living room won’t be filled with air mattresses occupied by family, which will be sort of nice, but will also sort of suck. Oh well. I hope everyone had a merry Christmas/happy Hanukkah/enjoyable religious or secular holiday.
