Uneventful Headachey Day

I had a headache when I went to bed last night and was annoyed to discover that it hadn’t gone away when I woke up this morning.
It seemed to be a sinus headache, and the pressure was making my eyes watery and sensitive to light, and as it didn’t appear to be getting better, even after taking a very hot shower, I decided to go back to bed after about an hour. Shortly after I got into bed my friend Kevin called. We talked for quite a while until he got another call. While I was waiting for him to come back, my phone made some clicking noises, then I heard it dialing, and then it said, “If you’d like to make a call, hang up and try again.”
I hung up, but didn’t try again, as I really needed to grab something to eat.
By this time the pressure had lessened and my eyes weren’t quite so cloudy, but going back to bed still seemed really appealing, so that’s what I did.
I slept for a little over two hours and woke up feeling much better, if still a bit out of it.
Deciding to watch a little TV, I tuned into Giada’s Weekend Getaways, and then I was going to watch Deserving Design on HGTV, a show featuring Vern Yip, who used to be a designer on Trading Spaces. I opted not to watch it, though, after I saw that it was going to feature a male assistant rather than the really hot female assistant that’s sometimes on the show.
I watch a lot of HGTV, both the SD and HD versions, because I like to see if there are any design ideas I could eventually incorporate into my house, and also because I simply find a lot of that sort of stuff genuinely interesting, but one of the main reasons I watch the shows that I do is because they often feature hot chicks, like Brandie Malay or Jane Wogan.
When the shows don’t feature the hot chicks, my interests tends to wane.
(Before my first attempt at going back to bed, I had put on Don’t Sweat It, but because it was an episode that didn’t feature Jane, it became Don’t Watch It.)
One of the other HGTV shows I watch pretty regularly is Designer Finals, in which a design student is given a real-world design project to manage, complete with a $2000 budget, a couple of handymen, and a two day deadline. It’s interesting to watch the students put theory into practice while under pressure.
What’s even more interesting is that the design students tend to be young women who are cute and wear extremely short skirts.
Like a lot of HGTV shows, Designer Finals seems to have an East Coast cast and a West Coast cast, so depending on where the show happens to be filming you might see different people. One of the hosts of the show looks like he could be Ryan Reynolds’ brother, and one of the handymen looks as though he’s on the show to supplement his income when he’s not appearing as “Gangbanger #11” in movies like The Gangbang Girl 45. Seriously, he’s one of the porniest guys I’ve ever seen outside of a porn.
(Not that I’ve ever seen The Gangbang Girl 45 – there was a serious dip in quality after The Gangbang Girl 31.)
In any case, my day has largely been uneventful, as you can see.
