Fun!

Ep 10 of Time Lost is posted - and is garnering all the screams I figured it would (*grins*). School Daze is coming together nicely. The only flies in what would otherwise be perfectly good ointment are the facts that I feel like death warmed over (dehydration sucks), I have a headache that isn't going and that in half an hour, I leave to go umpire a bunch of 15 year olds in a county tournament.

Why the **** did I say yes to that?!!

Of Daniel Southworth, Headaches and Umpiring

Daniel Southworth is a cure for headaches. It's true.

I got through my umpiring this morning/early afternoon relatively OK - actually quite enjoyed most of it, but the last thirty minutes were pure hell. My head was really banging by that point and my foot was killing me (foot is currently on an icepack in an effort to reduce the swelling and let me be able to walk...). The drive home was hideous (I probably wasn't OK to drive, but given the only way I was getting home was by driving, it was a case of 'have to') and really, the LAST thing I wanted to do was sit in front of a 'puter screen for an hour vid-grabbing 'Molar Ice Cap' (for the uninitiated, it's the episode of VIP Dan plays a thug in - there's a novelty; Daniel Southworth playing a thug...*sigh*). However, I did set it up (the VCR's bust so if I wanted the ep in any form I could do caps from, I had to grab it straight to harddrive) and decided I'd watch the first five minutes or so - to make sure it was OK - then leave it going and go grab some rest.

Those five minutes featured Dan pretty heavily. Either the painkiller FINALLY kicked in (and seeing as they hadn't all day, I don't think so), or Daniel Southworth really can cure headaches.

Shame the rest of the VIP episode didn't really match up to the opening...

Ah well. At least I feel more like a human being now and less like something's trying to drill straight down through my right eye. Who knows. I might even manage to get School Daze wrapped up now.
