Progress, I suppose

My nose and head are somewhat clearer.  I'm pretty definitely less miserable than I was yesterday at this time.  But I seem to be moving on to The Cough That Does Not Die, if Huz's experience is anything to go by.

*sigh*  I wonder if I'll go to work tomorrow?

In other news, I am up to Volume 9 of Girl Genius, and have watched 10 of the 26 episodes of Princess Tutu.  The story is surprisingly emotionally engaging, though it took its sweet time about getting going.  It's good to have something dramatic and pretty in 26-minute segments to hang out and watch.

And for something a little different, I have to thank digitalemur  for the following Top Gear video, in which they try very hard to destroy a particular Toyota truck: here, and my brother, who gave me this other Top Gear video link in return.

I guess Top Gear is like Mythbusters, but with a focus on cars?

Gtop Gear, the original British one, not the American knock off, is made of love and win.

Both of the episodes I mentioned were British ones. :)

It's basically a car show on crack. They're not always as Mythbusters as that particular clip. They go on some truly stupid odysseys, though.

And yeah, the British one, accept no substitutes.

Little story: a few years ago, Hammond (the little one) had a horrible accident while racing a dragster. A tire blew out, and he nearly died.

On the second part of that "Killing a Hilux" series I linked to, where they're trying to come up with more ways to destroy that truck, there's a youtube comment that says: "Just give it to Hammond and tell him to try to break a land speed record with it." Because the internet is heartless, and everyone knows about that dragster even though they have a pact on the show not to mention it overtly.

It makes me shudder, but it's part of the completely insane nature that I love about Top Gear. It's awful and wonderful and horribly redneck.
