Sudden Panicked Thought

Right now, this hacking cough is annoying.

Two days from now, when I'm playing a zombie and the cameras are rolling, it'll be disastrous.

Take a cough suppressant before filming. They really do work.

oh, I hope it isn't the same type of cough I had.

That being said, if you have a humidifier you should put it in your bedroom if D is ok with that. Will make sleeping much better (And the advil cold and sinus stuff works like a charm with only a slight buzz)

Drink lots of milk ahead of time, use the humidifier, and turn it into a rich, phlegmy, consumptive cough, a la Tim Curry reading "A Series of Unfortunate Events."

That should make it much more appropriately ominous.

Alternatively, if you don't already know, write to me and I'll tell you which OTC cough suppressants will be really effective, as long as you swear on your grandchildren's graves only to use it briefly, according to directions, and not to become addicted to it.

I think improving the cough would be better, though. Think of it as an otherwise squandered resource.

Yes! Be the zombie that threatens to ominously cough itself into squicky nasty pieces. :)

Zombies don't cough?

I'm hoping you don't have the same cough I've had... the only thing that seems to be able to keep it at a minimum was lots of sleep, white tea, and steam-cleaning my sinuses.

Otherwise? I'm seconding the vote for lots of dairy beforehand to make the cough sound all mucousy and gross... :)

you know, that's a really good idea. our house air is extremely dry.

I have a fountain set up in my room to make it a bit more humid.

And it helps stop those annoying shocks you get when you brush your hair

What are you playing a zombie for?
