I've been sick for the past several days. It started in my throat on Saturday, then became general congestion/coughing/sneezing. Today it's basically congestion. I worked from home Monday-Wednesday, and I'm making an appearance at work today, though I'm probably just passing my germs around. =( Sorry, work people.
Anyway, life's good. Jess and I are trying to spend time together, but it sometimes feels like we're still long-distance. He went on a business trip last week, and I'm going on a business trip next week -- weekends are too short as it is, and I'm leaving Sunday night for Sacramento. Yay, work. =( ...it's like we have careers or something.
On another work-related note, Jess bought me Tetris last week (while he was down in LA on business), which was awesome. I have to get better at that game, so that when people play it at work, I have a chance of playing for more than 5 minutes without getting my butt kicked.
On a non-work-related note, I've begun to read The Da Vinci Code, which is probably the most entertaining book I've read since my junior year of High School (I essentially stopped reading for pleasure after my senior year, because they gave me so much to read that I cracked!). I'm not a particularly fast reader (I sort of have to absorb every word on the page -- I can't just skim. I have to hear all the dialogue in my head), but on the first day, I read 50 pages or so. Then yesterday, I read another 200. I only have another 250 pages to go or so, so I might just finish it tonight. Totally addictive.
While we're not talking about work, I should bring up that Jess and I watched the new reality show premier of Brat Camp last night. These "brat" teenagers are dropped off at a survival camp aimed at teaching them about routine, respect and resposibility. All the kids look like my friends from high school. It was entertaining, and I want to see what happens in later episodes -- I guess that means it's good TV. And who doesn't like a good story about campers being confronted by the fact that someone anonymously went number two out by a bush (and was dubbed the "phantom dooker" until they confessed)?
Anyway, talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic: Jess and I seem to be surrounded by random poop right now in our lives. What's that all about?

Random poop is weird. A nation of phantom dooks. Yick.
I'm glad you're so into the book. Maybe you have a new favorite author? While we're talking books, I did confirm that the new Harry Potter book does in fact come out this Saturday. Weird. Anyway, better work on finishing up the Davinch. We've got some reading to do. : )
That bastard! I bet you it's him ...
The Mad Crapper ...
I will find you, Crapper ... This I swear ...
So, I actually didn't finish the book until last night. The same thing began to happen again: when I approach the end of a book, I put it down and don't read anymore. I think it's because I don't want that world to disappear.
It's the same thing I do with games (I still haven't finished Final Fantasy VIII or X.)
But I finished it. Great book, highly recommend it. I do like novels, but it feels more factual than a novel, which probably explains the fanaticism following its release -- there are tour groups in Paris designed to trace the steps taken in the DaVinci Code. I don't blame those people for taking those tours. Such a good book!
The Phantom Dooker.. The Mad Crapper.. Phillip the Litter-Misser... Grrr. Go away! Get out! No more poop! =\
