My first year at the Lab is coming to an inauspicious close, as I am currently at home, naked and grouchy, instead of asking if I’m going to get a raise anytime soon. I like raises, I think. I haven’t actually gotten one in many, many years – I think I remember liking them, but it’s been so very long.
I am under the weather. Yesterday was emotionally exhausting, and as the evening wore on I found myself feeling terrible in a number of ways. Waking up this morning with a staggering headache and a sore throat seemed to seal the deal, so I opted to call it in instead of making a mockery of my to do list. Resting today will hopefully knock whatever this is out of the park so I can get back to doing all those things I do so well. I don’t particularly want to be sick with an identifiable cause – there are Things on my calendar that I don’t want to miss because of a cluster of germs that won’t sit down and shut up. Friday is the Tegan and Sara show at the Orpheum, and on Saturday there is blood to give, and next Monday is my COURT DATE – so you see, I am far too busy to give into my wanton illnesses.
Why is the average age of every artist on MuchMusic 15? And when did MuchMoreMusic turn into the Nickelback channel? This is NOT helping my convalescence one bit. Weren’t there more Pussycat Dolls? I thought there were like 9 of them or something; this (horrible) video only has 5. Oh, they’re dancing in the rain now. That’s original. This is terrible stuff. More, now than ever, an All-Simpsons channel is truly needed.
I’m well aware of the fact that I appear to be live blogging my sick day, and I’m sorry. I’ll stop now.

Too funny…I am usually never sick but also took Tuesday off feeling exhausted and under the weather. I like to think the oil of oregano keeps me from getting sick most of the time. There’s more crap on TV then usual during the day time. I laughed at your curry powder post. My Mom is from Singapore and makes great curries as well. While I buy my packets of curry paste, she does everything from scratch. At the moment I have bottles of frozen green and red Thai curry paste in my freezer that she has made from scratch. I should get around to thawing them out and using them one of these days.
