Sick Days

I HATE BEING SICK!!!! I came down with a cold on Thursday. Actually, I was smacked on my butt by a cold on Thursday. It was bad enough that I did something I very rarely do. I USED SOME OF MY SICK DAYS! The world is coming to an end. I worked half a day on Friday, took Mon. off and worked half a day on Tues. Finally though, the snot seems to have vacated my head and most of my lungs so I felt like myself today and went into work. At the very least I had to get in sometime this week just to get the extra 10% off of my purchases. When I checked my emails today, I had 83 of them. Only about 5 were of any true interest. The rest all wanted me to buy something or enlarge a penis (not having one, it would be difficult to enlarge my own obviously). I don't know how the "penis people" got my email address. I wouldn't think Amazon would sell to those sorts of folks, but I suppose you never know.

Because I've been down and out, I don't have much to write about. Of course, this entry will still end up running on and on as usual. Here's a couple of quick things.

Please enjoy the pic of Josh McRoberts I've added today. Duke FINALLY played well this past Sat. They apparently had a team meeting on Thurs. and things have obviously turned around. McRoberts had a beautiful behind the back pass during the game. I wish he'd be more aggressive offensively, but one step at a time I suppose.

Found out the NIN dvd "Beside You In Time" is coming out Feb. 27, just missing my birthday but still close enough for me to feel that special bond with Trent. The website has a track list and while I'm disappointed "Getting Smaller" isn't going to be featured, I thought the list looked great. Somehow I doubt the Champaign performance ended up being used, but I'll just have to wait and see. Lots of cool extras are listed as well.

Tonight's quote from the leader of the free world from my Mis-Speak calendar:

From May 5, 2004

"Iraqis are sick of foreign people coming in their country and trying to destabilize their country."

And from The Simpsons, via Milhouse (he's talking to Bart who walked in on his parents having sex)

"Trust me Bart, it's better to walk in on both your parents than just one of them."
