Ick and ack

This is the worst cold I've ever had. I'm exhausted (despite sleeping well this week) and I have frequent sneezing bouts. I feel crap.

And my Xbox broke too - the DVD drive inside has given up the ghost. Thankfully I sent in a registration card when I got the machine so it's covered and I should have a replacement here by the end of the week, according to the nice Indian man on the end of the Xbox Customer Support line.

The upshot of this is that the things I had planned to do today, fill in teaching job application forms and play Halo, I can't do. And I've spent most of the day in bed.

Bleh.
