Gawd in nose-stuffy heaven. I keep trying to explain to this cold that I’m nearly out of cold medicine, so I ought to be nearly out of cold, but it’s not taking. I’ve been forced several times to buy more cold medicine, and I suspect it’s going to happen again. The most annoying thing (in some sense, anyway) is that unlike normal colds where I don’t feel like eating anything for five days, I’ve been starving all the way through this one and so instead of losing weight I think…
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
AHAHAHAHAH! I’d been going to spare the flist the sheer spam of another posting today, after that last long comics rant, but I just got email from The Best Agent Ever confirming that I could talk about something that’s been killing me to keep quiet about for the last few weeks.

I’ve been meaning to do this since the beginning of the year (all that time ago) and have been putting it off ’cause no net access, but since I no longer have any idea when we’ll get access, I might as well do it now.

So once more with the blog entry just so I’m typing something. With any luck it’ll get me focused on words instead of…

The big chain video store’s got DVDs for sale all the time for like E7.99 or 3 for 25 or 2 for 20 or this or that, and it costs E5.25 to…
