It's my party and I'll drink if I want to.

Last night I went to a birthday party for my friend Beth. We started out the night at The Rose and Raindrop for food and drinks, then moved on to karaoke at Chopsticks Express. I tried to take it easy as I still have a killer head cold but managed to down a few pints of beer and sing some songs. I dedicated "Punk Rock Girl" to the birthday girl and then C-Dog and I did a rousing rendition of "Love Shack" that had everyone in the house dancing. Here's a funky picture of the birthday girl and me. I'm saying "No more beer!" and she's saying "It's my birthday, I'll have one of each!"

Anatomy is neat.

I rode the elevator up fifteen floors, walked off it and fell into the wall. Wow, the inner ear is a cool thing isn�t it? Especially when it�s loaded with my phleghm. Anatomy. Neat. So obviously, I�m back at work. I�m surprised that nothing has caught fire or exploded. My desk is still a disaster but it�s the same disaster that I left last week which is a good thing. Kind of.
I�ve been perpetually tweaking the HTML code of this site, you�ll notice small changes and things moving around. I especially like the fun credit buttons � you can steal your own here. I�ve also done some significant HTML tweaking of my guestbook so go take a look and sign it. Tell me a joke. Give me your great grandmother�s hot toddy remedy from the old country. Anything to take my mind of how hard it is to remain upright and keep snot from pooling on my files. That was probably TMI, sorry.
The glass is half full of Nyquil.

I�m still at home and feeling uber crappy. Instead of whining about how horrible I feel, I�ll be a glass half full gal and give you a list of positive things about being home sick all day:
* Nyquil induced hallucinations are fun.
* I have time to catch up on all the shows Tivo taped.
* The cats don�t care that I haven�t bathed in two days
* I get to spend quality time on the phone with telemarketers.
* Hourly naps make the day go by quickly.
* Mouth breathing makes you appreciate your nose that much more.
* That loud banging noise is actually your head and not the refrigerator dying.
* Chills are eased by strategically placed felines.
* Migraine medication means you can watch the same movie over and over and it still seems new.
* Spam offering miracle cures suddenly seem intriguing

I've taken large doses of decongestants today in an effort to desnotify my head. So far it's not doing much. I lost my hearing this morning and I keep waiting for my ears to pop but so far, no dice.
I got out of bed this morning to call sick into work. Then I went back to bed, only to migrate to the couch at lunch time. I've done a bit of surfing but my heart isn't really into it. Maybe I need to take another nap. Being sick sucks. I've spent most of the day watching crime shows on Tivo. It may be time to break out Red Dwarf seasons III and IV.

I�m home sick today with a crappy head cold. I feel like my head is going to rupture and my brains are going to start pouring out of my nasal cavity. Okay, that was kind of gross. I think I�ve been watching too many episodes of CSI. Although I don�t think they ever solved a murder mystery where the victim died of snot overdose.
On a non-snot related topic, have I mentioned that I�m a total Flickr whore? I am absolutely addicted to that site - so much that I�ve upgraded to a pro account. I�ve even networked my old computer to my laptop in order to transfer over all my digital photos from the last eight years. I�ve hand picked about sixty of my favorite ones to upload. Most of them are of my cats. Hey, give me a break, I�m a single woman with two cats, they�re like my children. You�re just lucky I don�t have a blog for them. I would but I think it would be pretty redundant:
Loki: �Today I slept in, watched mom bathe, she looks weird without fur on. Sniffed Trinity�s butt before eating breakfast. Stared at the evil neighbor cat outside. Decided to take a nap.
Trinity: �Today I slept in. I went through the dirty laundry and shredded mom�s pantyhose. Loki, the pervert, tried to sniff my butt. I had to bitch slap him to show him who�s boss. Ate some breakfast then decided to take a nap.

Last night I was the designated sober person until we reached our last destination down the street from my house. We first hit a very small party and played some Taboo while I drank bottled water and everyone else drank cocktails. They had an adorable kitten named Lola who was clinically insane. She had on those cute soft paws rubber dealies on her claws which made her fun to play with, but she was still a biter. I still have little puncture wounds all over my hands.
Then we drove back across town to a party in my hood. We sang karaoke, wore plastic crowns, exploded stuff indoors and watched Regis Philbin count down to midnight.
At midnight I was finally able to drink some champagne. I woke up with a killer headache and am not really sure why.
