My throat has been scratchy and generally irritated, leading to occasional fits of coughing, for about two weeks. Which is kind of bothersome, especially when it acts up at inopportune times. However, it does give me a valid reason to take generous doses of tussive syrup, which is essentially the most amazing cough syrup ever prescribed. It works, for one, but it also makes you feel so content and relaxed and vaguely fuzzy. If tonight's coughing episode doesn't calm down shortly, I will have to imbibe.

Everyone at work is getting increasingly frantic about the Super Bowl. We're have a little party at the office on Friday; everyone is encouraged to dress in team colors. I searched all over Chandler Fashion Center for a Cardinal red scarf on Sunday. Apparently red isn't in at the moment. I looked in every store in that mall that might possibly have the scarf, including Forever 21 (holy shit, it was a hot mess of pleather, lycra, and glittery black floor tiles in there), Frederick's of Hollywood, and some random surf/skate shop that caters to 14-year-olds, with no luck. I finally had some success in Target last night, so I have my scarf to complement my outfit and I'm not sure I'll ever wear it again after Friday :/ Red's not exactly my favorite color.

A couple of my coworkers have joined me on the Larry Fitzgerald bandwagon. We spent an embarrassing amount of time sending image links back and forth over google chat today, including a fun little snap of Larry with his pants flagrantly unlaced. It was Media Day; there was a lot of material to work with :D

Rafa's match is on in three hours. I really want to stay up/get up and watch it, but I don't know if it's possible, especially if the tussive syrup factors into the equation.

i'm re-reading federer/nadal fic in a sort of pre-ao final mania, and your story is always going to be one of my favourites. i've added you, hope that's ok - hope your throat is better too.

Oh, thank you! That means a lot, especially coming from someone whose work I have always enjoyed so much :)

*adds you back*

I hope we get a decent final tonight. I keep reminding myself that if anyone can recover from an epic semi in time, it's our Rafa :)
