i woke up this morning sounding like Barry White.

my throat is raspy, my chest is on fire, and i'm coughing up more phlegm than the Marlboro Man.

in an effort to alleviate my symptoms, i went shopping. i came home with a couple of spiffy new shirts, and a couple of movies (Dune and the pilot episode of Farscape).

i've decided to spend the remainder of the day in bed watching movies (those i bought and whatever else comes on one of my two dozen movie channels). so far, i've seen Boycott and Soul of the Game.

all in all, not a bad way to spend the day when you don't feel like doing anything else.
