Nah, nothing today. Too tired. Too uninspired.

Yeah, I know I said I was gonna be back today but I'm on the tail end of my cold, thus I am tired. Any volition that is not otherwise consumed by this foul spectre of lethargy called "Cold" is swallowed up by the goodness of Star Trek: Voyager, Simpsons, Discovery Channel, Frasier and X-Files.
Yes folks, I finally got my satellite TV hooked up. Don't get too excited, I'm not rolling that high over here. While cable TV does apparently exist in Japan, it's not anywhere as widespread as broadcast satellite TV. There's two big services here: SkyPerfecTV (what I have) and the other one (ready for this?) B.S. TV.
Yes, that's what it's called. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
Anyway, TV in English is good. Thus, no update today.
Wait, too late! DOH!!
A poetic interpretation of my trip to the doctor's office yesterday:
Doc: Come in, have a seat.
Me: I feel like crap. I think I have a cold.
Doc: I know. I already decided what you have before you sat down.
Me: I figured as much.
Doc: Common cold work for you?
Me: Doesn't matter. I only came here because my supervisor won't let me go home until you've told me what a ten-year old could have figured out by listening to me cough my lungs out for 3 minutes.
Doc: I figured as much.
Me: We done here?
Doc: Yep. Here, don't forget your placebos.
Me: What are these?
Doc: Pink pills & white powder.
Me: What do they do?
Doc: You seem creative, I'm sure you can imagine something that they do.
Me: Right, see you next time.
Doc: Pay me.
Since I'm feeling better I have a feeling I'll be back tomorrow with a more substantial post. Until then...
