cold, cold, cold-fx

So I'm trying cold-fx for the first time. Hoping it'll knock this throat thing out. Also, I'm going to gargle some mouthwash stuff before I go to sleep. My sister is really pushing this cold-fx stuff. Lots of people I know swear by it. I figured, why not?

Anyhow, I'm bored. I'm sitting here writing about anything that pops into my head. I'm listening to music on my ipod while using it to check my email/facebook at the same time.

I'm eating Mr.Noodles too. 2 packs boiled up, water drained off. It's my new any time I feel like it warm snack thing >.> Probably terrible for me.

Now I'm listening to Space Hog - The Chinese Album. Probably nobody else reading this knows it. Maybe my sister. I dunno. I like it, listen to it now and then. I acquired a taste for music like it back when I was in high school. This was the pre-napster era.

Before napster showed up I would hang around in a few channels on IRC, EFnet server. One of those channels was #mp3indie. Lot's of music that nobody I know had ever heard of got traded around in that place. It's still there, some of the same smart asses still frequent it.

Another channel which helped me build up an mp3 collection back when computers could barely decode mp3s and do anything else was #mp3countryjukebox. It was set up so you could get mp3s easy with a search and get command typed into the channel.

IRC was responsible for a good majority of my computer learn'n growing up. Ah those were the days.

  1. Ok... now you're moving into uber-geeky territory.

    The thing about cold-fx is that you've gotta start taking it the moment you start feeling gross, and take about 3 times the recommended dose for about an entire week. Seriously, 3-5 of them, 3 times a day, for a week (or until you're feeling better). You won't OD on it - it is only ginseng after all, but it does get kinda expensive. Walmart has a knock-off brand for about half the price.

    It might not completely rid you of the cold, but it should lessen the blah. Or so I've found...
