My OperaNot well
Saturday, October 11, 2008 10:40:53 AM
Hello. I did intend to come back here and write about/post pics from my recent York trip but the next day after my return I developed a rotten cold/flu/cough-type thing. Quite how these dreaded lurgies know when I'm on holiday is a mystery to me. 
I've been taking powders, pills and potions to try and beat it but it's proving rather resilient, lodged as it is right in the centre of my chest, with all the shortness of breath and fluidic coughing that comes from that. Amusingly, the lady in the chemist looked rather alarmed and uncomfortable when I dropped my armful of items in front of her, even going so far as to check with her superior that she could sell it all to me! Of course I wasn't going to be taking them all at the same time, I assured her (slightly grumpily due to not being well), I just need enough to cope with this and any minor maladies that may crop up in the near future. Now please ring it through and let me return to the cosy recuperative confines of my comfy double-duvet'd bed.
The upshot of all this sickness, coupled with the fact I'm on holiday and am avoiding work of any kind for the entire week, is that I have very little motivation, will or indeed energy to sit down and pen a novel about my time away, not to mention painstakingly cleaning and formatting all the photos I have ready for upload into MyOpera. If it is any consolation I do at least feel moderately guilty about not keeping in touch, but a couple of episodes of Thundercats or a level or two of Quake 4/Quake 2/C&C: Renegade usually helps push that to the back of my mind where it belongs.
Not to worry, I'm sure I'll be better just in time to return to work next week.

I watched BG Razor again - it is very good, turns out it's the first disk on the series 4 box set
I love the scene where you see inside the old Cylon ship and you see the gold cylon and the silver toaster says "by your command" thats so fracking good!

Better, but not entirely well. Still bunged-up, but back working hard at BT to earn my half-peanut per day.

What ever happened to BT Buzby? Did they ring his neck!
