can actually help you have a better day. Just go easy on the speed you work. I worked a super long day — to work early, stayed way late. Got an incredible amount done. It felt really good. And I still had enough time for a little CS:S and some Black Adder — and kitty snuggling!
Stay tuned for the first release from my recording studio. Hint: none of my synthesizers were used in the making of the recording.
After 750mL of wonderous liquid known as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, some calamari, some veal (Mmm, I like ’em young! Just wipe its butt and send it on in…), some salad, a cannoli and some coffee I feel like a new woman.
Montepulciano is rapidly becoming my favourite red wine, simply because of its price (usually inexpensive), its availability (everywhere!) and how well it goes with just about anything. It’s especially good with grilled stuff.
Thanks to my coworker cerdo for suggesting Cafe Diplomatico on College. It wasn’t quite what I had in mind, but it turned out to be a good deal indeed.
I found it — my bondage MIDI cable! Back in the old days of PC sound cards, a special cable shipped with your Sound Blaster. This cable sported 2 MIDI plugs and connected to the joystick port. It also had a passthrough connector for a joystick.
It turns out that you can screw the passthrough plug into the joystick plug, and then screw it closed. You can do this around someone’s neck (if they’re particularly anemic). Then, the MIDI portion makes a GREAT leash.
I kid you not. Jalapeno and Tolim and I had hours of fun leading tsk around the NJ apartment with one of these. He was such a good little….never mind. ;)
Wow. shadowcat is obsessed. His comment on seeing this post: “that’s not obsessed, obsessed is going for 100k….hmm…..” o_O
Yes, it is my goal too to be hit with a bicycle then eventually land in the arms of a bespectacled girl. o_O
[Edit] My high score: 3590.23m, with a height of 116.52m. This, however, is scary dedication.
Slowly with time I am going insane. I feel like an island in Toronto. I’m tired of my roommates playing games all night every night. I dread going home for fear I have to deal with them. Oh, and I’m still dizzy all the time, which can’t be doing wonders for my mood or mental state.
I’m still quite sick, having collapsed at work today. I’m also grumpy enough to be a serious threat to anyone in my general vicinity. Beware.
I should be able to go back to work tomorrow…just in time for Friday! What a waste of 6 days it’s been. I’ve slept about 96 hours, eaten no more than 2,000 calories, lost between 12 and 15 pounds, fallen over (slightly bruising my right kneecap) and gone completely stir-crazy.
Being worn out prior to getting sick I’m sure lengthened my recovery period, but this was one killer flu. I sure don’t want to have to go through that again. And, no, I can’t do the flu shot thing.
The next step is to return to productivity without burning myself out in the process.
so on day 4 of my illness I still have a fever of 39C (which is responding better to medication now, thank you), a very nasty cough, lightheadedness, spots in front of my eyes, diarrhea and appetite problems. And everything taste funny. A Dr. Pepper I managed to drink today tasted more like wintergreen than anything else. Is there wintergreen in Dr. Pepper?
So last night I get home, change into my robe, lie down on the bed — and suddenly it’s 5 hours later and I have a fever of 38C or so. I spent most of the night not being able to get back to sleep, even with medication. At about 8AM I found my fever had shot up to 40.2C, which is way too high. I feel like I’m drunk, but it’s completely unpleasant.
I’m supposed to be off to Montana for 4 days starting Monday (for my job). If I still feel like this, I’m not going, especially because I’m supposed to drive down to Buffalo and back for a cheaper flight.
