The dude at the gun store was sick yesterday and two people at the birthday party I went to were sick as well. And the first part of the birthday party was at a video arcade and you know how those kids are just dirty, dirty, dirty. I even got a blister on my finger from shooting at zombies. Oh, and my ex (one of the people who was sick) told me that theres’ a lawsuit against Zicam because it could cause you to LOSE YOUR SENSE OF TASTE AND SMELL. (Or is that smell and taste?) I woke up this morning feeling like I was coming down with a cold and slept in until 10AM. After almost throwing out my Zicam yesterday, I USED IT TODAY! Living on the edge, as it were.

In other news, I think the birthday boy and his wife (who has bronchitis) really liked the megaphone I got them. I bet if she isn’t sick they’ll be using it throughout their house.

(Being almost sick did lead to weird dreams about being in a motel with Kate Beckinsale. Not the married mom, but the fantasy one in my dream world. Not that my dream world amounted to much because I think the most exciting thing we did was peek in the minibar. There was some weird thing at the end where she left but came back with two other women to give me a hug. My dream world is kind of dull, but more exciting than my real world.)

I have a weird accomplishment that isn’t nearly as impressive as Pat Robertson’s claimed leg press of 2000lbs. I did 17 45 lb plates on the leg press machine, and I’m thinking the carriage itself is probably another 45 lbs. That means I did 810 lbs on the leg press. Yeesh.

I went to a birthday party today and I got the birthday boy a couple of gifts from Harbor freight. One was a giant calculator that was about 12″ x 8″. The other was a megaphone. For some reason I think they’re going to get a lot of use of those items in that household.

Oh, and I found out that Zicam can cause you to lose your sense of smell and taste. I don’t know about you, but I think I’d rather have a cold than lose my sense of taste. What fun would that be? I suppose you might lose weight, but then what?
