I am sick. There is no denying it. This sucks.
I went down to Detroit yesterday to hang out with rusterson and I felt fine. Then on my way home I started feeling kind of yucky. You know how it is. My throat started to hurt. My nose was a little stuffy. But nothing I didn't think I could handle. Then I was up until almost two in the morning with my RPG and trying to figure out some major plot points for what my critters are doing and all of a sudden I was like, "Oy shit. I feel like crap." So, I drank about half a bottle of cough syrup and passed out.
Needless to say, I didn't feel any better this morning. I slept in until 10:30 when I had to leave for work at 11:30. And now I'm here. Carrie, the other manager, is on vacation next week so I will BE here for the next nine days or something crazy like that. I can't be sick. Well, I mean, I can. But I'll have to be sick while I'm here because I can't call in when I'm the only management person on duty.
I just drank WAY MORE than the suggested dose of cough syrup. This should be fun. I wish I could just pass out.
As for my trip yesterday, I had a good time. Hung out with Stace and Doug and Spe and Garrett and Michelle and Heather and Angie. It's been WAY too long since I've seen some of those people. Stace made the comment when I was getting ready to go that she loved the fact that, no matter how long we go between hanging out, we never seem to miss a beat when we do finally see each other. I told her it's because we're so awesome. And we are. Trust me. We rock.
While I was down there we went into Best Buy. This is never a good thing when I have money. Because, inevitably, I will walk out with considerably less money. And I did. I bought five CDs. Alanis Morrisette's latest, Kenny Chesney's latest, Tori Amos' latest (I am WAY late on this. I LOVE it!!), Fozzy's latest, and Miranda Lambert's debut album. On a completely random note, I adore Miranda Lambert's song "Me & Charlie Talking". For, like, the stupidest reasons ever. But I hear it and I think of Charlie Haas and I get all squee and I really seriously need to get a life like NOW!
I was gonna buy the Royal Rumble DVD just because I want to see Charlie and Shelton in the ring again together. But I put it down and ended up buying the new WWE book "Are We There Yet?" instead. I think it was a good trade off. This book is freaking hillarious. And I adore how all of The Hurricane's stories seems to start with, "So, I was really drunk and..." I love him. I really do. Even if Charlie Haas has tried to take over the number one spot in my heart. My Shane is still the greatest.
Hmm...can we say disjointed? Weee...cough syrup!
Tonight is the WWE Hall Of Fame induction and tomorrow is Wrestlemania. I'm going to my dad's apartment to watch Mania even if he is a schmuck. For anyone who cares, my predictions are as follows...
Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels: Shawn Michaels
Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio: Either Eddie turns heel and demolishes Rey, or Rey wins and Eddie turns heel after and demolishes Rey.
Six Man Ladder Match: Edge. It won't be Shelton because he still has the IC belt. It won't be Benoit because he doesn't need the title again. It won't be Kane because that just doesn't make sense. It SHOULD be Christian or Jericho. Especially Jericho since they've turned him into a mid-carder and that's bullshit. But, yeah, it'll be Edge. They've been setting it up for a while that he's gonna get a shot at the championship belt. I don't know if I think he should be champ, but it'd be nice to see him get a legitimate try.
Undertaker vs. Randy Orton: I thought maybe, with all the rumblings of Taker retiring, he'd put Randy over. But after the way he DID put Randy over on Smackdown this week, I say Randy doesn't have a chance in hell. The WWE will continue Taker's undefeated Mania streak. As they should. Old or not, the man is a legend and I love him. Plus, they've pulled Randy from the Australia tour after Mania to help heal his shoulder, so I'm sure they'll have Taker destroy him and then sell that he's injured so he can be off the road.
Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme: Christy Hemme. And trust me, it makes me want to vomit even typing that. Christy has NO PLACE being Women's Champion. But Trish is injured. And they've taken her off the Australia tour as well. So I figure they'll give the belt to Christy by default. Hopefully Trish can make her look at least halfway decent in the ring. Even better would be Lita returning to action and getting the belt from Christy just a week after she wins it. I do NOT want Christy Hemme to be representing what womens wrestling should be. That's just bullshit.
JBL vs. John Cena: John Cena. For one, it's time they take that damn belt off JBL. And besides, they wouldn't have taken the US Title away from Cena if they weren't gonna make him champ.
HHH vs. Batista: My gut says someone might ACTUALLY wise up and realize that people are sick of seeing HHH with that damn belt. I think it's Batista's time. I HOPE it's Batista's time. If HHH retains the title, any dignity the WWE has left will be gone. I know he's amazing. I respect the man. But dammit, that belt means nothing when it's on him year after year after year.
This just got really, really long. And I still don't feel good. I should get back to work. Or drink more hot tea. Or something.
Oh...one more thing...I just saw someone on my friends list with an icon that was a picture of Edge and Lita with something about true love written on it. That makes me want to puke. For real.
Edit: In my Mania predictions I forgot about Big Show vs. Akebono. Surprise, surprise. That's because this match is gonna SUCK. A LOT. But Show will win because there is no reason for him not to.
