How I knew I was going to be sick today

-I finished working off the extra hours my manager wanted me to before I start a new contract yesterday tommorrow (my body tends to take a release of stress as a sign it's ok to get sick)
-I was feeling crappy all week but got a burst of energy last night (Luckily I was smart enough to draw a picture rather than doing my usual trick of writing a thinky blog post to which I get lots of long complex replies)
-I pushed myself to stay late the last two days to do said hours
-I'm going out tommorrow night and this gives me extra time to worry about whether or not I'll be up to it (I don't feel THAT bad right now, but I did just have a three and a half hour nap...)

But that main reason, the reason I was sure: I bought some bread and put it in the work fridge.

Seriously, every time I do that I get sick and by the time I come back to work it's gone stale.

Anyway, to make up for a long blargle about being sick, the picture I drew (yes, emo-ness followed by ego-ness, yay you!) I still don't think I have the corona or reflected light on the asteroid/moon right but it's not getting any better with my brain all fuzzy like it is.


I totally stole the "guy with spiky hair on a ball" imagery from "Revolutionary Girl Utena" which I'm currently watching thanks to penchaft. I'm not sure I'll watch any while sick, it messes with my head enough when I'm well...

Also, will be terrible at replying to comments until my brain clears up a bit.

A question for my overseas viewers

Reading TV Tropes to fill in the time until Cam comes home and we can go shopping, I came across this:

Australians as a nation are, for the most part, utterly mad about almost all forms of sports (but especially the ones they're really good at, such as cricket and Australian Rules Football). Here's a fun exercise; watch any Australian commercial TV news broadcast and make note of how many of the stories relate to sport in some way. Bet it's over half. Of course, if you happen to live in Australia and aren't particularly interested in sport, it makes an otherwise wonderful country somewhat less wonderful to live in. It doesn't help that when they lose something that they normally win (as happened a couple of years ago, when England unexpectedly won the Cricket Test Series), they can be pretty bad losers.

That doesn't happen in other countries? You guys's news is actually mostly news? You don't have national holidays based around horse races? o.O
