OK, so I got ill

Right.. I got cold. Maybe I should stop just wearing a t-shirt in class? *hehe* No, really, the reason I got sick was a round of golf on last Sunday. I was just wearing my regular shoes (which are not waterproof) and the grass was really wet, so I ended up walking for five hours with wet shoes on. No wonder I got ill, eh? Yeah. So, I didn't go to school on Wednesday or Thursday, I was at home, feeling like crap.. and then, today, I tried to go to school.. got through three classes (without even remembering what they were about.. or at least, just remembering the main parts) and then went home again. Sucks being ill.

Usually when I'm ill, I lie in my bed and watch TV. However, the tuner signals to my TV are interrupted somewhere on the way from the antenna-box to my TV, so I get nothing on TV, but that white/black snow stuff. Luckily, I have connected my computer to my TV and I have downloaded 6 seasons of my currently favorite TV-series: That '70s Show! Oh yeah. There's been a long time since I remember loving watching something as funny as that on TV. The thing about seeing it on TV though, is that it only airs for about 20 minutes once a day. Sadly, it does so on two different channels simultaneously. So I can only watch one of them, or parts of either two. I usually go for the first option. In either case, I'm bound to miss out some of them, due to me not being home, like for instance when I am at work. Add to that that I get no TV signal, so I cannot tape it on my VCR and that my parents replaced their VCR with a DVD-player, so I can't borrow that either, and you see why I have to download the series. It's sort of a luxury issue, but I'd really love to see the whole story. It's just the greatest thing ever, you know? Each and every character I have seen so far has fitted perfectly into the series. I'm only on episode 17 of Season two yet, but that's just great though, cause that only means there's a lot of fun left!

Continuing a little on the "That 70s Show" thought, I really like this one girl on there, the one who plays Donna Pinciotti, Laura Prepon. She's so cool. And she's really pretty too. I might be a freak, but so be it, cause I'm just gonna say that I wish I was that guy Eric Forman, and that I actually lived in the 1970s in the USA with those exact people around me, and having that exact family and so on. I mean, of course, it wouldn't have been the same, since then I wouldn't have known about this guy (real me) wanting to be imaginative me, which would make that period seem not so special after all. Oh well, I just love to fantasize and imagine. I like being not so tied to this world... like.. wishing stuff like this.

Very little really happens when you're ill, so I don't have that much to talk about. I have already said that I've watched a lot of "That '70s Show", so you're prolly tired of that now. So I'll talk about something else. Like the other thing I did while I was ill. Except for sleeping, eating, drinking, walking around the house, etc., which I do when I'm not ill too, and which aren't that interesting to read nor write about. Yeah. *cough* -- I've gotten the game "The Sims 2", and it so rules. If you enjoyed playing "The Sims", which I did, "The Sims 2" will certainly keep you entertained for a long time. Unlike the first game, this time people grow up, get older, have desires, wishes, fears.. you can meet with aliens, you have teenagers who wants their first kisses to be special, you have lots of new cool items, you can have a lot more than just two floors.. oh yeah. There are a lot more statuses available, such as "best friend", "engaged", "enemy", "spouse", etc. Talking of spouse, all Sims have family trees, where you can see all about their ancestors. Also, when two sims have a baby, it inherits traits and the looks of its parents. It's so cute. Sad as it is, though, one of the funniest things of the game is to create characters. You can customize people so much now. Hair style, brow style, eyes, mouth, nose, face, chin, beard, mustache, clothing, wow. It's so... everlasting. *heh* You can make so many different variations, it's basically impossible to remake the same person. If you have a chance, you better get yourself this game as soon as you possibly can. I say.

Aww, man. I still don't feel too good, and I have work tomorrow. Working from 0900 to 1500. It's a great tribute to my wallet though. That's 600 NOK ($88.50 or 72 €) which will come in handy. So I'll just take some fever/pain killers and take my shift. Money turns the world around in our sad and capitalistic time.

Well, I'm closing off. Here's my current status:
