Today is Day 4 of “The Aussie Cold From Hell.” I have approximately 18 pounds of mucus crammed in my nostrils and lungs and most of the day I walk around coughing and hacking as if I started chain smoking when I was three. Let’s all take a moment and thank the inventors of Ny-Quill however, because otherwise I wouldn’t sleep at night and you wouldn’t be getting this lovely Shyzer update. The cold itself isn’t so bad, but it simply has drained all my energy. I’ve never actually had just a common cold sap my energy like this and if this is how other people experience colds, then it must suck to be them. I’m up and walking around for an hour or two and then, WHAM, all of a sudden I’m sleepy. In fact, I’m walking back to my dorm and taking a nap just as soon as I hit that little “Save” button down there.

Two days ago I saw the latest episode of LOST (or, at least the latest episode at that time since we’re about a week behind in downloading them over on this side of the pond.) I won’t give away any of the details since I know Waynus hasn’t seen it yet, but I will say this. Somebody needs to give Terry O’Quinn an award. Fast.

In fact, last week’s episode was so amazing that this week, people here at Uni speed rushed the download of the latest episode. So instead of waiting close to a week, I was able to watch it last night. All I’ll say is that whoever gives O’Quinn an award needs to give another one to Matthew Fox.

And is it just me or does the music seem to be leaps and bounds beyond most other TV shows? It seems that almost every week I’m ripping at least one orchestral track off the show onto my iPod and usually I end up ripping the closing song they play as well. I fell asleep last night listening to the end part of this week’s episode just playing over and over on repeat and the night before I had done the same with last week’s episode. If anybody would be interested in rips I’ve made, let me know and I’ll get them up onto the media page.

And I know I’m a bit late on this, but one of my favorite comedians, Mitch Hedberg, died on March 31. He made his living through mainly one-liner jokes instead of the usual monologue or drawn out style that most comedians use. In fact, I found a copy of one of his CDs on the net, so I’m putting it here on Shyzer, but you need to download it within a day or two, because I’ll be taking it down soon due to bandwidth limits. If you like it, go check out his website and buy a few CDs. They’ll keep you laughing for years to come.

And with that, I’m off to bed.
