I swear this happens every year at the same time.

It was especially bad because I am allergic to latex and the wet paint smell makes me ill but we got the low VOC one. That plus all the dust from construction added to stupid cold I've had since Friday which has been a pain in butt.

I had every intention of going to work today but I couldn't stop sneezing and coughing so I figured I would stay home and not infect more people. I also had planned on going to see Rusko play at Town Ballroom. I ended up working half the day from home but you can't really go out from home, so we missed Rusko.

Not sure about tommorow, back to the nyquil.

Well the sick days are running out so I better get well soon. I seriously cannot go to work when I am this gross. I am sniffly, sneezy, coughing gross.

I spent the morning touching up some of my old portfolio. It is a relic because it is the only web thing I have going on where ethe data and the markup are all mixed together into an actual static document. It's been that way for about three years. Every other thing I have on the web is some sort of content admin based system where the data is stored in neat little database tables. I supposed I could easily convert it, but there is some sense of nostalgia to an actual web page. At least having one of them. I mean even it is divided up into server side includes but still.

I still have to deal with the content itself but for now this is the new style.



Last night I finally figured out how to make GPS and my phone play good together. Sometime soon something good will come out of my obsession with GPS. I am just trying to decide what. I think a part of the Remember BUffalo Porject will be based on it.

[size=m]Paul's Sick Soup Recipe[/size]
I have eaten this soup each day I am sick, it makes me feel better. Once again the proportions are probably not very helpful but it tastes good.



1 box of chicken broth
some salt
lots of group pepper
a bunch of olive oil
some greens or brocolli florrets (escarole, spinich, whatever)
about 6 cloves of garlic sliced
a lot of shrimp
some pastina

boil it all togther accept the pastina. Once it smells good, very soon after beginning and the water is boiling well, just throw in some pastina and let them cook. Then eat it.

Sprinkle liberally with grated parmesean chesse (hint: conservatively == bad even with parmesean cheese)
