Quick Updates

Yeah, so the flu bug I had last week is lingering. Big fun. Friday I felt good. Saturday I felt like crap although improved in the evening. Yesterday I felt decent and again felt better in the evening. Today I felt like complete crap at work but I'm starting to feel a little better now. I'm not sure what the deal is with evenings. Although I did just take a bunch of vitamins and a couple of Advil.

The whole thing is massively inconvenient. I haven't had the energy to do things around the house that need done. Cleaning, some weeding...oh, and fixing my damn storm door!

Is it crass to complain about my broken door when others in the area went as long as a week without power and people in Texas had their homes destroyed? I don't care, I'm doing it anyway. The remnants of Hurricane Ike blew through central Ohio last Sunday and mixed with another system from the north and these ingredients resulted in the highest recorded winds in the area's history. Millions were without power yadda yadda. My power went out for about a minute. But during this windstorm a friend dropped by my place and I forgot to pull my storm door shut and make sure it latched because it usually closes really slow. So a few minutes later, the wind caught it and practically ripped it out of its frame. Luckily it didn't break the glass. I took it off the hinges and put it in the garage but now I'm going to have to replace some of the wood in the frame which is going to involve painting and who knows what else. Yes, it's a minor annoyance compared to what others have had to deal with but it's an annoyance nonetheless. And because of this stupid flu I haven't had the motivation to get started on it.

So, that's what is going on.

Now, enjoy this kick-ass song. It's a band called One Day As A Lion that is made up of Zach De La Rocha, frontman of Rage Against The Machine, and a drummer that used to play in The Mars Volta. They put out a 5 song EP during the summer. I like Rage but I wouldn't call myself a "Rage fan". And this is the only song of the five that I like, but I really like it. Flows well, good beat. If you don't like Rage, you probably won't like this though.
