I named my parrot "Mrrp".

pezSpent the last few days coughing and sneezing a lot. The cough medicine I got helped but it also knocked me right out every time I took it. Took Thursday and Friday off work, and still wasn't very coherent on Saturday, apparently. Sunday was my dad's birthday so Storme and I went to London and baked him a cake. The rest of the weekend was spent wandering around the house feeling weird and unsettled and listless. Still coughing today, the pressure in my ears is all wonky which I hate far more than the coughing.
On the upside, I played a lot of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future while in bed. Not sure how far I am with the game, perhaps half way? The parrot minigame drives me mental sometimes but I'm enjoying it a lot nonetheless. There's something very pleasing about the Layton games, in particular I LOVE the music. A few things I've learned so far:
- I'm very good at maths puzzles but not so good with 3D stuff.
- Luke's voice in the US version > the UK version. I don't even know why they had to pick different voice actors just for him.
- Parrots bounce in funny ways.
- People's noses automatically lengthen when they get old?
- The soundtracks look ridiculously expensive on Amazon. Must find other source of getting it.
In other news, the Spending Review is coming out soon. There is a "bated breath" atmosphere at the office. My rail ticket expires tomorrow and I definitely won't be renewing it for a year.
Lastly, I learned that it's not common for people to want to know How Things Are Done and How Other People Do It. I thought watching Kaname transform himself from Ordinary Guy to FF:AC Cloud was immensely interesting, but apparently I'm the only one.
