The cold goblins have taken up residence in my lungs. Joy. Coughing up internal organs not exactly helping my throat either.
Oh, and bonus? Since my inhaler's a long term medicine, I need to send away through the mail to get a refill under the new insurance.
And I spilled hot soup on myself.
*Grumble, whine, cough, repeat*

Finished 2nd GiG. Boy anime sure does love its randomly placed christian iconography.
Brain not functioning enough for a coherent post on the series without devolving into low brow comments on how Togusa was totally getting some bioroid strange on the down-low from Proto. The fact that he could not tell Proto was a cyborg/android did not surprise me, given he seems to have missed that fact in his wife.

No Lizardmen, so I give this conspiracy theory an A-.
I'm 99.7% certain this is parody, but my ability to tell lately is hampered by all of the real crazy out there.

There has got to be some way to rig a device that will let me drink tea while I sleep without drowning or scalding myself.
Kept getting woken up by the dry throat being in pain.
This calls for straws.

Internet kept going up and down again. Had cable guy over twice today, found out there was a bad connection between the house and the pole.
Forgot to eat again. I'm bad about this on weekends, and the sick doesn't help. 24 hour periods without food are probably not good for the recovery.
Oh, except for oj and tea. I've downed a carton of oj, and my own weight in tea. Which made me get mad at teabaggers. Seriously, did not one of them think to google the name of their movement? I know it's months old, but they still make me mad.
Driving in a fever dream is bad. I had no control over the car, and it's what i imagine driving drunk would be like. All during the dream I felt so guilty because I was in no condition to drive, but i did anyway.
Then there were random coworkers comparing lunches, and one of them had a vegetable crisper filled, which he kept in a giant tupperware storage bin, and I felt guilty because my lunch wasn't as healthy.
I think I should probably look for some cold meds now.

Sick
Sorry to anyone I may have infected before I realized I was sick.
I've been pretty healthy, coldwise, for a while, so I guess I was due.
Going through the mild sore throat, cough, achiness, and tired part now. Was a zombie for most of the day, then slept for a 5 hour nap, and will probably just keep on sleeping.
If this is the cold I think it is, not looking forward to the knife pains in the throat.
Time for oj, and then some more sleep.

My internet service provider is currently down in the area, so I'm borrowing a cup of internet from a neighbor with a more plentiful but less secure connection.
Back to being an internet addict.

My shoelaces fell apart. On both shoes. They just sort of disintegrated. Not while I was walking, so I didn't go flying, but keeping my shoes on my feet is now problematic. Briefly contemplated cobbling something together with office supplies, but then thought better. Dammit... cobbling, that's a shoe pun isn't. Boo.
Weekend not coming fast enough.

In DDO, you don't take falling damage as long as you land in lava. Soft, cushioning, life saving lava. I won't even hold the lighting me on fire thing against you.
Spending two hours soloing a quest only to get to the end and find a puzzle that can only be solved by having multiple people work valves... not cool.

Saab is saved again.
GM agreed to sell it to Swedish automaker Spyker Cars NV.
Spyker also does not make a profit, and is a smaller company than Saab, so not sure how that's going to work out, but meh.

Made Nu watch the first two episodes of Xena yesterday.
I frequently forget just how "awesome" that show was.
Played through part of the quest chain that Gary Gygax narrates for DDO yesterday. His voice is not what I was expecting, but appropriate.

Leaving the building today to get lunch was a poor idea.
I am cold and wet.
Cold and dry, the cold part is easily fixed.
Wet and room temperature, don't really care.
It's that combination of cold and wet that gets me. Stupid vents directly above my desk blowing cold air on me.
At least I wasn't scalded by hot tea first this time.
All because I wanted hot soup and/or an edible meal. I need to start packing lunches.

It's Friday, my attention span's gone, and I've been in/will be in meetings throughout most of the day.
Recipe for excessive posting.
Found out recently that if your internet access falters in an MMO, the bad guys can keep wailing on you while it reconnects. Got killed by a pirate and a dog, pain since they're one hit kills. Swimming puzzles are also frustrating when you're solo-ing with only one use of waterbreathing. Or none I suppose. I need to start working on a second character, maybe a Drow cleric spec'd for combat, with a level or 2 of fighter or paladin for the weapon selection, tower shield, and extra feats. Or maybe Warforged straight up fighter. Maybe I'll even remember to toggle the character generator to male this time (aside: DDO either defaults character creation to a female character and you have to choose a male character by toggling a switch, or it toggles it randomly when you start. This is a nice change from all of the games I've played where the characters start off at base as male).
I went to Longhorns recently, the time when the VP incident, and noticed something weird. The bathrooms are labeled "bulls" for men and "lambs" for women. I had a good 30 seconds where I just stood there staring confused. I'm not sure whether that's better or worse that labelling it "cows" or "heifers". I'm going to go with worse. Seriously, who in the Longhorns Department of Kitsch thought that was a good idea? Also, is there a department of Kitsch? It seems like there should be. And my mother would rule over it with an iron bedazzled fist. (Kidding! My mother doesn't bedazzle, it's beneath her. She would make an appliqued/quilted gauntlet cosy though).

Stolen from barbarienne. Appears to be a "check off what you've seen" list, with a notation that if you've seen 85 or more, you have no life.
( bad movie meme below )
132 Total.
There are some really bad movies on this list. My shame let me show you it.

We're going to a prison on Io. Io was guarded by Argus Panoptes, the all seeing giant. Panoptes of the 100 eyes, the eyes will be watching us. Put to sleep the eyes, like Hermes' rescue? Panoptes led to panopticon, panopticon gave birth to the prison, and the circle is closed. All of this has happened before and will happen again. Slay 100 eyed Argus? The argonauts might not be pleased, but the ship is built. First act of divine murder since the fall of the Titanomachy, but the Titans aren't imprisoned, merely absent. Or watching, through the eyes. Prometheus saw all this before, but wouldn't tell for spite. He comforted Io in her journeys with the gadfly. The gadfly... flies... swarm of nanotech, biting, harrying distracting, herding. Turn the gadflies on the eyes, if they are not loosed on ourselves. The caldera is a circle, the circle must be closed. The pillar of light cannot come to pass. The sphere is a circle, but more than a circle. The sphere is not a circle, it is an orb, an orb like an eye, the eye of the Titanomachy? The eye must be put to sleep. The circles within circles within circles. The orb cannot center itself in the orb without bringing the pillar of light, the light brings death, the Titanomachy. Gods toppled the Titans imprisoning them in the earth with trickery, man cast out their gods banishing them with logic, man gave birth to Titans and the Titans in turn forced man to fall to the heavens, barring them from earth. Circles or spirals? Meaningless connections, pretty patterns, interlocking rings. Numbers, have to look at the numbers. Everything else goes in circles, the numbers will make a clear line.

I sometimes appreciate having a pet that would like nothing more than to break free of her cage and use my skull as a chalice nesting material. When she's rattling the bars all through the night, not so much.

Got new headphones for work so that I can finally listen to music again to maintain sanity.
Work PC does not play audio CD's, even new ones, without skipping and generally being unable to play.
Pandora and last.fm still not available.
You've won again computer.
Tonight I'm copying music to USB flash drive, seeing if that'll work.
