Nerd Alert!

So, Eric and I have been dreadfully sick for the past week or so with colds. Eric is actually just getting over his sniffles now, but I am currently in the full bloom of sickness. I am so sick I actually came home from work today after getting high off some Maximum-Strength Sudafed. And when they say maximum, they mean it. As I sat in my desk chair, twitching, my phone was ringing off the hook as Eric repeatedly called me to see how I was doing. He had also taken some of the Sudafed, twice as much as me, topped that off with about a half-gallon of coffee. I could actually hear his teeth chattering over the phone as he tried to hold the receiver in his shaking hands. So I gave up at about 11:00 and spent the last half of today getting over my shakes on our sofa. I am finally rid of that nasty "daytime" cold medicine after burn, just in time to take some Nyquil. Hooray for modern medicine.

In any case, I spend a lot of time today watching our backlog of shows on our DVR. One thing that I was really surprised about was the documentary "The Making of Milwaukee" on Milwaukee Public Television. The first part played yesterday at seven, and the second part tonight at seven and the third part, you got it, tomorrow night at seven. The early part of the documentary was a little dull, but as historic photographs of familiar landmarks started popping up on the screen, I was interested. The cheesy computer graphics and Enya rip-off background music was a bit much, but the photographs and letters that came across the screen were fascinating.

Anyway, enough geeking out!
