a few things

what's up? some news:
this week, I was briefly in the hospital. I had a temperature and they wanted to make sure it wasn't pneumonia. it turned out to be nothing.
second, my phone doesn't work real well. the screen cracked and now I can't see it at all, it has a weird psychedelic sunburst on it that won't go away. so basically, I use my phone even less than before. my voice is still weak and sometimes when I talk too much, it makes me gag. so no, I'm not going to talk to you on the phone, most likely.
other than that, I'm getting better. still going slow but you know how it is. then again, maybe you don't.
rhode island is cold. I haven't puked in a few days, so that's good. what's new with you?
oh, also, my eric@hollywoodphony.com address isn't working, as you may know. so if you want, send me an email at efilipkowski@yahoo.com. or msg me at p1mpb0t@aol.com. that's p(one)mpb(zero)t. got it? good!
take care,
eric

here's an update for youse

OK, I feel like I should explain some things here, to all the people who have tried to call me. my voice is still really weak. it's hard enough to talk in regular conversation, but the phone is especially challenging. if I speak at a volume where I can be heard, it can actually make me gag. so this doesn't mean 'don't ever call me', besides it's only temporary (i'm hoping). my point is, if you call, I probably won't pick up. I'd still like to hear from you or talk to you via email or instant messenger but I just can't do the phone right now, I'm sorry. don't hate me. I know you do, but that's really selfish of you.
apology accepted.

shut up, idiots!

just kidding, you're not idiots. my mom told me the other day that I hadn't posted in a while, so this is a peer pressure post. on tuesday, I'll be heading out to rhode island to recuperate at my parent's house. I should be back in about a month. What's new with you? I think it's time for a change of scenery, I've been out of the hospital for over a month, being a burden to everyone. I haven't been writing or doing anything productive so I need to kick myself in the ass and get going. hopefully, I can go home and get better and come back at something approaching 100% so that I can finally get around to thanking everyone. if I haven't written you back or snubbed you in any way, please forgive me, I intend to get around to everything eventually, things are just kind of on hold right now, I hope you understand.
anyway, hope everyone is well,
eric
