I'm getting pretty tired of this ad for Tales from the Darkside.
Every damn 10 minutes.
Pop-up blocker doesn't seem to notice it.
Grrrrr.
The worst thing about being sick (besides coughing my brains out all night) is the oppressive effect the illness has on my state of mind. I'm surly and irritable. It's like depression; nothing is enjoyable, nothing is comfortable, and I can't focus on anything for longer than 12 seconds.
Even this journal entry has taken a massive effort. 35 minutes now. Type type type. Backspace. Delete. Type type type. Erase. Start over. Start over. What was I thinking?
Start over.
My whole day has been like this. My thoughts wander. I leave things unfinished. My orange juice grows warm beside me. I can smell my soup burning in the kitchen.
How long have I been sitting here?
Ugh.

Probably because along with it you are getting crap for sleep. And when you aren't getting sufficient sleep... it affects everything :(
Hope you get better soon.
Get Well Soon!
And while the drugs we all take are there to help us through crap like this, they also tend to lay their own foggy ground cover.
Hahaha I'm sorry man. I'm right there with you. I dosed myself with OTC meds for my headcold and stared at the wall spacing for 2 hours a couple nights ago. At least I got paid for it. I hope you feel better soon.
Awwwww - poor Tothy!!!

I hate April Fool's Day.
Everyone is a comedian. And all the jokes and pranks are stale. I pretend to smile and go along with it, admiring the secret cruelty that lurks beneath the surface:
You see; your friends, family, and co-workers secretly wish you harm and discomfort -- if only in the smallest, most trivial ways. This is for their amusement.
I find this strangely comforting.

It's like laughing at the person who slips and falls, only you make it happen instead of waiting for it to happen...
But we all know Birra is a little bitter and jaded.
Exhibit A:
Birra: Two of the most expensive things in your life are: your wedding and your funeral. Of course you don't really pay for your funeral and you pay for your wedding every. single. day. of. your. life.
oooooh... you TWO.
*finger wag*
I find that to " retailiate" against such people is simple, just poise yourself in a manner to suggest you " pulled something over on them" whilst they were out of the room. When They return act as though you are anticipating their discovery of you " prank".
very true...

Browser pop-up blockers are powerless against these ads.
However, on my company network, I don't get any such pop-ups.
Ahhh... nothing like a good firewall.

Luckily, I'm not getting it too much.
I loved the old Tales - I assume the new version will be cool!

What ad? I'm totally not getting anything.
Wait, I probably shouldn't have said that out loud. Now I'll get it. Damn!

We gave Cancer a few names and had him send the ads just to them :)

Seriously. I am saying the same thing. The sucky part for me is when I go to close it, it doesn't CLOSE. -.-
