So I have a sinus infection that has gotten way out of hand. In my bed-ridden hours, I've been comparing different types of tissue.
Toilet Paper: This stuff sucks. Particularly the generic 1/2 ply that is supplied for dorm rooms and student housing. Way too rough for my sensitive skin.
Puffs (yes, Puffs has a website): Eh, it's okay for the occasional sniffle, but it wasn't cutting it for me and my excessive sneezing.
Puffs Plus Lotion: Feels very good. Much smoother on my skin. This stuff is like 3 ply, making it super soft. My hands feel a bit oily after using it though.
Puffs Plus Lotion and Vicks: Oh man. This stuff feels and smells awesome! They laced Vicks Vapor whatever into each tissue and it smells and feels really good. The only bad part is that the Vicks burns my eyes.
So there you have it. Puffs Plus Lotion is the way to go unless you dig Vicks. It costs a pretty penny more than the generic stuff, but if you're fighting a sinus infection or allergies, it's worth it. I promise.
The next post will likely be something along the lines of what dances I want to learn in the near future (I just watched Michael Jackson's "Thriller" again...)

Windows 7 Beta
Okay, so I could be preparing for class, but I just don't feel like it. And there are probably 10 other productive things I could be doing right now, but I just don't have the strength. Damn allergies.
So, about a month ago I downloaded and installed the beta for Windows 7, which replaced my Windows Vista entirely (which I'm perfectly fine with). The gadgets are still available and are now movable about the desktop, which is pretty cool. Someone was quick to develop a new gadget for Pandora, which I was expecting.
I won't touch on all the new details that 7 brings, but there are a few things I'd like to touch on:
Regarding the taskbar: This turned out very well. Minimizing items doesn't take up nearly as much space, and instead of having multiple bars for each window of, say, IE, it clumps all the windows together until you scroll over the icon, then it shows a miniature preview of each window and lets you browse through what all is open. Very handy and clever.
Regarding the start menu: Similarly with the taskbar, where appropriate, when the program title is scrolled over, a preview of documents is available to look at (ex. Word). Very handy as well when you want to open up something quickly.
Regarding compatibility (one issue with iTunes): iTunes no longer minimizes into a player on the taskbar, which is an annoyance at most. Or maybe I'm not doing something right. But everything else so far seems to be compatible.
More review of Windows 7 to come.

My Sick Day (Comedy Central Critique)
So today was spent mostly sitting on my oh so comfy couch and watching Comedy Central. This is what I watched:
National Lampoon's Van Wilder starring Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid.
I love this movie so much. If I had to choose one movie that I had to watch over and over again until I die, it'd be this one. It has Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds, my hearthrob) as a popular party boy in his 7th year of college. Without revealing too much of the story, he falls in love with a journalist who is in a relationship with a stuck up frat boy who loathes her new love interest. It's funny and romantic and is famous for it's gross out scene of "creme" filled donuts. A pure classic.

Legally Blonde starring Reese Witherspoon and Luke Wilson.
This movie is okay. A sure fire chick flick that can only be watched once every few years. In short, Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is dumped by her boyfriend and follows him into law school, but then realizes her potential. This is a funny movie and a good way to spend an evening, but only for those craving a girls night.
Dane Cook: Vicious Cycle
Very funny! I'm such a huge fan of Dane Cook and the SuFi! He is so innappropriate and speaks about very real situations, reaching out to much of the younger and middle aged generations. While dirty, he makes everyone laugh, and doesn't deny his faith. If you want to laugh a lot, and can handle some language, Dane Cook is a must see.
