So I woke up at about 5 in the morning with a sore throat, a sick stomach and a head that felt like someone shove a caulking gun up my nose and taped down the trigger. All the signs that this would be a shit day. But as the title denotes, today wasn't shit. Today was THE SHIT!

Alright, so by about 7 AM, most of the nastiness was gone (a moment of silence for the brave tissues that gave their lives against the nasal menace), but my throat was still pretty bad and my stomach wasn't in the greatest mood. This is a bad thing, since I work in a call centre, and I have no leftover sick days, so if my voice gives out, I'm out of my pay for the rest of the day. 2 hours into a 10 hour shift, I sounded like I gargled with weapons grade sandpaper, and had to call it quits.

Thankfully, I wasn't feeling too terrible, so I decided to make the most of my inpromptu day off. I started by going to the movies and checking out District 9. I was actually looking forward to this movie, which is something I cannot say about most movies that came out this summer. And thankfully, I was not disappointed. I enjoyed the movie immensely, and intend to say a special Thank You prayer to the deified mortal that invented air conditioning.

After that, I went to a friend's game shop to check out his wares. Not really to buy, just to browse. Somehow, during my time there, I managed to trade and even WIN a Guitar Hero controller with GH2, a black DS Lite and the entire series of Marvel Vs DC and Amalgam Comics!

So yeah, my head is stuffy, I can barely speak, and anything I try to eat will either go north or south, but what a day! :D
