Blah...

In addition to being so crazily busy this week with freelance writing, I got the FLU. I got through most of the week without it...which is good because I had to tutor a few nights, an interview on Thursday morning, and a tight writing deadline. However, I went to work on Thursday afternoon not feeling quite right. That night when I came home I knew something was up...I was aching all over and had the chills. A temperature check showed I had a 100-degree fever. Ugh.

I called out of work yesterday morning and spent a good part of the day home alone in bed. Although the fever is gone, I am still dealing with stomach pains and not being able to eat much but toast, soup, and rice.

Unfortunately since I am in close contact with kids who think nothing of coughing in your face when you're sitting right next to them, I am always going to get these annoying little bugs. I think I need to take double doses of vitamins! Where's Dr. Oz when you need him?!

Spider-Man 3

I am so excited for this movie which, by the way, opens this Friday, May 4th! Contributing to my excitement are the trailers I've seen, especially during Heroes on Monday nights. What a cowinkydink, huh? A Spider-Man trailer during Heroes?? Yes, I know...I'm sure it was very non-coincidental.

The soundtrack looks great as well, including artists like Rogue Wave, Snow Patrol, The Killers, and Wolfmother. You can hear all the tracks on the movie's myspace page (I really like "Move Away" by The Killers).
