Bowing to aches

My migrane reached its pinnacle tonight, not even a double shot of ibuprophen can ameliorate it. Apparently the only way for me to reduce the pain is to lower my head as if bowing or looking at my shoes. Being humble and self-deprecating has other benefits as well.

Spent the whole day debilitated by the headache and the waves of stomach pain. I did win seven dollars from Party though, so it wasn't a completely waste of a day.

Bought two books: Cryptonomicon by Neal stephenson and the Drizzt trilogy by R.A. Salvadore. They should last me a couple of weeks, once the aches blow away.

Decided against driving over to Mark's for the PS2. Considering the possibility of wasting more hours and aggravating the migrane, it's probably a good idea. Although since video game craving can surface at any time in any form, it's best to guard myself against it.
