Hint Hint

Still recovering from sickness...I feel like I'm on the tail end of it then can get back to business, hopefully. Watching a lot of trashy TV, drinking fluids, browsing nonsense websites online, etc.

My birthday is on Wednesday.....*hint* *hint*

Notes From Bed

Still sick...my throat is better but now I have a terribly runny nose.

Since I was in bed much of the day I watched a lot of TV:

  • Goofy Movie: This was one of my favorite Disney movies from my youth
  • Dr. Who: timechaser inspired me to see this...I saw the first episode of the newest season, it was good, once I'm healthy I'll make a category for it
  • Ong-Bak Thai Warrior: Tony Jaa is amazing
  • Two and a Half Men
  • UFC

Good News and Bad News

Good news: We now have a password reset feature, long overdue

Bad news: I woke up really sick today, so far it's been 1.5 weeks of sickness, 2 days of being healthy/energetic, and now sick again--I hope it goes away quickly. This time it was a massive sore throat, I can't even talk.

I found a website online that had a relief tip that worked amazingly well, like magic. You take orange juice with lots of pulp and you put in 2 very small pinches of cayenne pepper. The pulp in the OJ prevents the pepper from burning you and the cayenne pepper itself thins your blood and causes some sort of reaction that helps relieve the throat.
