I don't know about this new color scheme. I'll give it a shot though. Let me know if it's completely unreadable though, and I'll make adjustments

So I'm sick and it sucks. It's the first time I've been sick for more than a day this winter. I had a cold back in January, but it was just a stuffed up nose. This is a sore throat, my chest hurts, my nose is stuffed, I have a fever, and I'm achey. I'm dizzy. I have no appetite. It sucks. So I'm grouchy because of that.

I have a paper due today too. It's a group paper. I pulled all the various sections together and sent it out to my teammates, and now I'm waiting to hear back from them with changes before we hand it in. I told them I need to know changes before 2:00 PM so that I have time to adjust before handing in the paper before 5. I have a bad feeling that (like last time) everyone is going to send me changes at like 3, and then get mad if I don't make changes. Oh well. I told them, right? My professor for that class is very ill, and we have a meeting on Monday with the Dean to discuss the future of the course. It's a required course for my degree, so I have to take it. I don't know what the school is going to do, and I feel bad for my professor and his family. But, selfishly, I wonder what's going to happen with my course too.

Jim and I are just old people, I think. I was laying on the couch last night, and Jim was laying on the floor in order to give me room to stretch out since I'm sick. We both fell dead asleep at like 9:00. At 10, he woke up and went to bed. I stayed up, since after sleeping for an hour, I was wide awake. Plus, I can't breathe very well and I knew if I went to bed, I would only toss and turn keeping Jim awake. But what is up with both of us falling asleep at 9:00? We are old.

This entry is not making much sense, is it? I think I'm going to stop now before I go off in a fever-induced delirium. Have a good weekend.

I agree with Brig that the Web has been slow the past few days. It's been hard to find interesting stories or sites.

This writer says that Martha Stewart's products are overpriced. What she doesn't address is that the reason is some people will pay more for something with the Martha Stewart name because they think it means quality. Or they just go to K-Mart and get the low-rent versions. Obviously, if people weren't buying, they would lower the price point.

I've always said that the so-called "women's sites" suck because they have no interesting content. I think something like Salon has more women's content than iVillage, because they don't limit their scope.

Felicity is moving to Wednesday nights. The producers keep blaming Keri Russell's haircut, but as someone who has to watch every episode closely, I can say the problem is bad writing and the loss of a certain humor the show had last season. The last few episodes have been better though.
