Cold And Under The Weather

            Blargh, I am felling under the weather today.  I think I caught my cold from the frigid temperatures and standing in freezing temperatures for long periods at a time.  Today I think I will take it easy, drink warm liquids, and relax and not worry about a thing.

            These whole sicknesses started back on Wednesday, if you live in the Seattle area or in Washington then you know that day was the Seahawk parade.  If you read my previous Monday post, you know that they have won there first supper bowl.  Living so close to the parade route, I was constantly looking outside to see if the streets were becoming packed.  By 8:30 am I decided to bundle up with multiple layers of pants and shirts to stand out and wait for the parade that was suppose to start at 11am.  Come noon the parade starts and I am freezing my but off, I couldn’t feel my toes, but I did have a pretty good spot on the side walk to take some photos (a total of 900+).  Despite being so cold it was cool to see the team up close.  Below is a link to my flicker page to see the parade pictures.

            Thursday I went out in the cold for errands, stupid move.  On Friday my mom surprised visited me and we went shopping.  I always enjoy shopping with my mom, but when I felt that sore throat creeping up on you it suck.  That night my man and I went out to see Spamalot the Monty Python musical.  I should have stayed in but I am so glad that I didn’t!  If you are any kink of Monty Python fan, you need to see this.  I guarantee you will laugh your ass off. 

            Saturday was the coldest day of them all, and it had to fall on our game day/night over at a friend’s house.  It would have been fine if it didn’t snow and we had to leave early because of it.  We were having a great time playing Forbidden Island, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Pix, and Mass Effect Risk.  Hindsight it was probably wise that we left when we did other wise we would have been stuck at our friend’s house over night and that would not have been good for my on coming illness.

            Any intelligent person with half a mind would stay home and relax for a day to combat the cold.  I am not a wise person.  Sunday I ventured out to do some grocery shopping.  Hello, my name is Schadenfreude Girl and I’m an idiot.

            Now I am paying for not listening to my body, and can not speak with out phlegm falling out of my mouth.  Good news is that I have an idea for this week’s party Wednesday!  To a nod to old loves every where I am going to do an 8 bit valentines day.  Come bake Wednesday for a little love inspiration.

The Epic Sore Throat Continues…

            Holy cow, the last time I had a sore this long was when I had strep and I was coughing up blood.  Lucky for me I am not coughing up blood and the soreness usually goes away by the time the afternoon starts.  But this is, what, week two and it is getting old.  I think it’s a cold but the stuffy nose part has turned into a nasal drip that is irritating the shit out of my poor throat.  Fingers crossed that this goes away soon.

            Well for the better part of last week I was desperately trying to finish up the single player on GTAV, which I did and you can read my review here.  I wanted to finish before I left for my two day excursion to my parents house.  I was house/animal sitting for them while they went up to Bellingham for the day/night.  It was weird and really eerie to be alone in a big house out in the middle of the woods when the fog wouldn’t lift and all you have for protection is a small winger dog and an old lab that doesn’t get off the couch. 

            But I lived and came back safe to the city… which you would thing it would be less safe than out in the country, but horror movies have told us differently!  Well now I’m back and have started playing Diablo 3 on the Xbox, I have never played any of the other Diablo games but I did play WoW back in the day.  So far I like in and the dungeons seem to generate differently with each new character.  I only wish the dialogue would vary for each.  Might have to do a review when I’m done.

            Coming up this week is another party Wednesday, totally forgot that there are 5 Wednesday s this month, so I will have to figure something out for next week.  If you lovely 5 people who watch me have any suggestions please leave them in the comments below.

Sore Throat and Cool Things

            Wasn't feeling sick these past couple of days so sorry of the no update yesterday.  Good news is that I haven’t recived a runny nose (yet); bad news is that I keep getting this sore throat in the mornings.  And no, I don’t smoke.  It came on Friday afternoon and by Friday evening, I couldn’t swallow, talk, and I was hacking up mucus chunks.  Sounds pleasant, but the best part was I could not go to sleep until some time after 2 am.  Come the next morning, my throat was a little sore from the hacking up but over all ok.  Very weird.

            Another thing that happened last week was that my man went on a business trip to Dallas with the leads in his division, leaving me home alone with the cats and the city.  Let’s just say I kept myself busy trying to finish GTA 5 (still not done) and playing with makeup that turned my bathtub into a clown murder scene.  But upon his arrival home he gave me a beautiful gift from the Texas’ state fair. 

From the Fair

            I just want to make a couple of announcements from some things coming up this moth that I am excited about.

            First off have you checked out The Wolf Among Us yet?  It’s a done by the same company who did the Walking Dead, Telltale games, based on based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic book series.  The sorties take place before the comic book and will consist of 5 episodes.  The first one is out now on all platforms but you can play part of the first episode for free now on Xbox and Playstation. 

            The second thing I wanted to mention was… BRAVEST WORRIORS IS BACK!

Well to be precise it will be premiering the second season on YouTube this Thursday.  I cannot wait to watch it!  I love catbug and I want to make a mascot suite in his form and wear it to conventions.  However that would be a lot of time and money and I sure as hell don’t have the money to make it.  One day cat bug I shall be in you!

            That was totally not weird… anyway be sure to come back tomorrow for Party Wednesday as we continue our month long Halloween themed parties.

Being a Shut in.

This past week I really didn’t go out and do much.  I Just hung out with may man on his day off, Cleaned the apartments and practiced some sound editing and implementing sounds in games.  I have come to the realization that it would not hurt me to know how to do this since I live in a city that has quiet a few game companies. 

            In the later part of the week I had almost a sour stomach, and the results were not pretty.  Not going into details here but I was very sleep but couldn’t fall asleep and couldn’t sleep very long.  I am feeling much better now; just wish I knew for sure why I suddenly got ill. 

            Well for this coming week I have to wait and see if I get my W-1 form or if I have to get an extinction on my taxes (thanks grandfather).  Also I am going to a BBQ for a friend; a little worried because I don’t really care for his girlfriend (she is a little too loopy and white trash for me). There is going to be a Game of Thrones themed party this week, a little late I know, but I want to break it up by the main houses to go with the seasons.  Which house will it be this time?  Tune in Wednesday to find out.
