Yay for having the next two days off, boo for being trapped at home with no transportation and no plans. I guess I'll have to immerse myself in WoW again.

Bonus: 30 points to anyone who can name what game my userpic is from.

I swear to God, people in Minnesota think the world is going to end when a little snow falls. There were flurries all day, maybe an inch in total, but Cub was slammed all day long. It always happens when there's a little precipitation. A little rain or snow and people feel the need to horde.

Well, the verdict is in: I have bronchitis. And I may have also giving it to at least one of my roomates and a couple of coworkers. I tell you, when I get sick I go all out. I'm on antibiotics and Sudafed to clear up the congestion. Hopefully in a couple days I'll no longer be coughy and crazy-contagious. The thing is, I'm not sure if I should ( Read more... )

I'm super sick today, and I have spent most of the day in bed. The only plus side is that I do not work today. But in the last two days all I have been able to eat is an english muffin. And I had a hard enough time getting that down.

I hope everyone is okay.  All yesterday I watched the footage of the bridge collapse on 35W, and I felt really sick.  I think everyone I know is fine, but scarily enough my room mate Mike went over that bridge about four hours earlier that day to do a drug test for employment.  I'm just glad he didn't wait a little bit to go. 

More thoughts on Harry Potter . . .

Definitely worth the wait.  I wasn't able to finish before I left for work (less than a hundred pages left, and I wasn't too happy to leave), but I finished on my break.

I can't believe that Hedwig was the first to die! And as soon as Dobby showed up, I knew it was the end for him.  The funeral was absolutely heart-wrenching.  And Fred . . . poor ( Read more... )

This is a geek-out post.  Feel free to ignore it.

I have to say that I quite enjoyed the movie of Order of the Phoenix, though I was saddened by what had been cut (of course, I do understand; it's a movie made for kids and if they had kept everything it would have been four hours long). I especially enjoyed the little Harry/Ginny teasers they had, ( Read more... )
