I feel Ill

I couldn't sleep again last night. I've been pretty ill all day. I think I have the flu or something. I watched The Godfather Part II. I don't think I'd ever seen it in its entirety before. Good stuff, but I think maybe I liked the first one better? I can't decide.


This is a shot from my trip to New Orleans. I was 19 and thin for the first time since I was 10.
