Continuing the Rise to Glory or Futurama, the Forgotten Funny

I am continuing to feel better and get sleep. For the most part the pain in my throat has subsided, although at the very back of my tongue it still hurts a little. I can get down more and more solid food, but it's a little challenge to swallow at the point. I just grin and bear it, cuz I'm hardcore. I can see little white dots on my tongue way back there when I look in the mirror with a flashlight, but considering the fact that my whole tongue used to be that color I figure I'm doing alright.
I did a bunch of work on my animation script yesterday while rocking out to some sweet tunes. My CD player in my room that I USED to love so much has been being a bitch for the past few months. It's tendency to play burnt CD's has been dropping so much that it is now at zero. I took it and it's remote... and it's 5 Disc changer out of my room and put back in old faithful. The single disc, no remote, ghetto blaster style CD player that never fails to play the burnt CD's... despite being bought BEFORE blank CD's were really even on the market. It sucks having to change the CD after every album and not being able to sit on my bed and relax controlling everything with the remote, but at least I can PLAY a lot of my CD's now... Yay!
I've also been watching a bunch of the Futurama season 3 that I picked up. While it never really got its due when on the air, I think it's a great show. Some really killer satire on some episodes. Some of them are kinda blase, but others totally smoke! If you like sci-fi comedy at all, you can't go wrong with Futurama. I just hope that the DVD's are selling well enough so that they finish off the show. There are still 2 more seasons to go!
Today I must work on the essay that I've been putting off. The good news is that we can put our personal experiences in it, so I am totally going to write a 7 page confessional. Guy Maddin would get a kick out of it. He's like that.
I'm starting to feel like the old me again! The old me with a sore back of throat!
