Asymptomatic

There must be intelligent life down here

Overcome with sickness

Over the long Labor Day weekend I contracted some kind of throat illness and I’ve been walking around like a zombie, all drugged up to keep the annoyance at bay. Yesterday I woke up so queasy, I was sure there was vomit in my future - alas, no. I barely managed to choke down a dry mini bagel, and discovered that some abnormally copious chewing was required to allow it to pass my swollen throat tissue.

As soon as I got home from work yesterday I layed down on the couch with Abby and we both took a nap. Two hours passed, and I still didn’t feel all that great. In fact, I had a little trouble speaking. I wonder if I can talk even as I write this. Hmm.

Foolish Things

After playing a video game with Dave over the weekend, I decided that I should have a copy of my own to play at home. So I actually bought a war chest edition of Warcraft III for the PC. Anyone who knows my history with video games should know that this is probably not a good thing.

It took much fiddling to get it to work. For some reason the videos won’t play on my system. After searching for hours on the support forums and third-party sites, I finally found a suggestion to rename the video directory so that the game couldn’t find them. I did so, and now everything works fine.
