So I've got Some Sinus Congestion or These Pills Work Pretty Good!

Well, the good news is that my neck pain is gone, but the bad news is that over the past few days I've had some serious sinus congestion. At first I thought it was an ear infection (it still might be for all I know) but after talking to my boss who was suffering from the same symptoms, I've concluded that it is most likely congestion of ye olde sinus. It was pretty brutal for a day or so there, as my ear was all throbbing and shit. Last night I left work early to get some medicine. The stuff that my boss recommended was unfortunately locked up for the night (Pharmacy was closed) so I tried out some Dimetap Cold and Sinus. They worked out pretty good! While in effect, the ear pain subsided for the most part and the old nasal passages cleared up. It's still a little tough to swallow as I have a sore throat which I assume is not a symptom of sinus congestion. I can deal with just a sore throat, but that on top of headaches, throbbing ears, chills, fever type thing, and plugged sinuses was getting to be a bitch. I'd like to know what brought all this shit on... My mom says it's probably just from the changing weather or allergies, but I am not convinced. There must have been something that I did, or someone that I was in contact with that brought this all on. I've pretty much been under 100% since the super late night at Tyler's. A part of me wants to blame getting stoned and staying up too late for being sick... that's the part that likes to think God punishes me for doing "bad" or "stupid" things. That's also the insane part... seriously, sometimes I can be a little crazy. Most of the time I'm pretty rational, but occasionally.... whooooop there it is, Uncle Nutsy!
Another odd thing that has been happening to me over the past week or so is the fact that I have been uber thirsty in the middle of the night. I wake up with a parched throat. Oh yeah, that and I have to piss. Usually I don't wake up in the middle of the night needing a drink or having to piss. Maybe it's just a symptom of the sore throat thingy... I'm not sure why anyone would really be interested in hearing this but whatever...
After handing in the first draft of my script for the animated series pilot I made for my animated film class's optional assignment I was a little surprised to get the comments back from the prof. Basically, he said that he had no idea what was going on, and didn't understand it. He also didn't know what "visual style" I was going for and he didn't believe that a house party would contain so many different groups or "cliques." (The script was about a group of friends going to a house party and meeting different groups of people who they don't like... based on a true story) After explaining that I draw like shit and was hoping to have someone ELSE actually animate the thing, mentioning that it was a TRUE story, and saying what the point was, he seemed to have a better idea of the concept of the whole thing. He wanted to re-read it with this new knowledge. Personally I think it's just cause he's kinda old and the thing was more "current." I told him that I kinda took the idea from the show "Downtown" and he had never heard of it. Going over the actual script there were a bunch of lines that he had circled with question marks. They were lines that had slang in them. An example is the line that a bar star says "Drinking game holmes, you in?" referring to the root slang homey. The prof had no idea what that line meant at all, so I explained it to him and he seemed to better understand what was going on in that scene. I think that the thing will go alright in the end because the script is fairly different from what's been done before. Not 100% original, as I would call it a cross between "Daria" and "Downtown" but different enough to make it "fresh." I seriously think that if I were to write a few more scripts I could pitch it to the CBC or Teletoon or something. They are always looking for new Canadian content to air. I feel that this is something that might appeal to the age group that those stations are trying to attract... then again, maybe the whole thing is shit, I don't know...
This is odd, now my cheeks are starting to feel a little tender.... what the hell did I do now God??
