Unos, Dos, Tres, Catorce!
Today is the big day for the new U2 album. Huge fan myself. I’m so lame I even bought the DVD/Book/CD set. Of course I’m already familar with the songs, sounds like a very good album to me.
While I was at Sam Goody with my Triple Points Coupon, I opted to go ahead and purchase ESPN College Hoops even though usually I receive it for review, just because of Bill’s wet dreams about the game. I also picked up Outlaw Golf 2 and Dead Or Alive Ultimate, basically becuase I wanted to really destroy my credit card before the holidays. Haven’t played anything yet.
I enjoyed watching the Pats win on MNF, but these 12:45 AM endings are killing me.
I was feeling a bit under the weather, then a friend told me about Airborne pills. Damn. They are pretty impressive in terms of making you feel better. I don’t know if it’s a drug induced ‘better’ feeling, but they work.
Harry Potter DVD out today as well. Yay!

Ahh, the wonders of placebo! Seriously though before anyone takes herbal remedies they ought to read this article from Consumers Union for general background:

and then check out the particular ingredients (one good source is at Sloan Kettering’s website

)
Two of Airborne’s seven herbs may actually have some antiviral properties (if, of course, the tablets contain them, which is not a given). Among the others, Vitex may interfere with the effectiveness of oral contraception. It’s also not likely to do you any good unless you have PMS.
