I am slightly sick. I have just a little cold. Scratchy throat, etc. Man, NyQuil is some awesome stuff. Last night I had that achy-face feeling. You know, that feeling where it feels like the whole inside of your face aches? Does anyone else get that with colds? Just me? Anyhow, I took some before I went to bed.

Holy crap, the pictures of that Guatemala sinkhole are FREAKY. It looks like the Balrog's going to pop out at any minute.

I am a happy, happy girl.
Remember how last week I bonded with my Young Riders DVD boxed set? Yay! Well, it was great to watch it...so nostalgic...but I was immediately bummed out that seasons 2 and 3 weren't available.
