Not much to update. I have been sick all week, worst of which was yesterday night when my back started hurting for no apparent reason. I spent the night tossing and turning until I finally thought to use my heating pad. Then at least I slept a bit better. Unfortunately I didn't think to use it till 5 am. I don't know what the hell I did to myself! I may have hurt my back carrying like 50 lbs of clay out to my car, but that was on Tuesday. Why would it take till Wednesday night to feel it? So anyway, its a mystery.
What I wanted to post about though is something called Match it for Pratchett

Terry Pratchett, author of the bestselling Discworld novels, has been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's. He has donated half a million pounds (approx $1 million) to Alzheimer's research and appeared in the media highlighting the low levels of research funding Alzheimer's receives. Millions of loyal readers from around the world have responded and are helping to match Terry's donation.
I don't usually promote things in my journal but this is very important to me. Not only is this affecting my all time favorite author, but this disease has also affected my family. Just trying to get the word out.
Ooh, here is something else too. Free Flight of the Conchords MP3 Download!. Never heard of them?
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster
Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
S'in a giant clam
Down, down
Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'
Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin'
Flippers flippin'
Down, down
Let's rock!
Boy's in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'
Twistin' 'round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun
Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter
Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhale
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!
I hope this stops you from going crazy with just one line repeating over in your head!
