Spring Tribulations
Now that it's spring the dust has returned. Oh great. I find it odd, but I never remember having allergies until I started visiting the Czech Republic. I assume that there are more pollutants in the air here given the high population density, the number of factories (and their smokestacks discharging who knows what into the air), and the lack of any sizable body of water nearby. Not that I'm complaining about these per say, rather, now that winter is over, it seems that all the dust that has been gathering for the last months has been released into the air. That's what bothers me--the end of winter. I suspect that I am only slightly allergic, but I attributed yesterday's headache and congestion to spring. Here's my chant:
Headache, headache, go away
Don't come back another day.
Or perhaps, this was going through my head when I woke up this morning and the headache wasn't completely gone:
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-day,
Headache why won't you go away?
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-day,
Without a headache it's a wonderful day.

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
