Now that the head cold has passed it was time to enjoy the weekend. Granted I didn’t do anything extraordinary but there were some upsides and surprises. Purdue winning over Illinois was definitely top on the list for surprises, followed up immediately by the Bengals huge win over Da’ Bears. I really thought Miami was going to persevere over the unstoppable Saints and I was really hoping the Giants would have been victorious over Arizona. Gotta love Football.

Since Fraiser ended in 2004 I have been looking for a new high-brow comedy for my guilty intellectual indulgence and I think I have found a new show as recommended by one of my co-workers; The Big Bang Theory. A show that not only has smart humor but I find that I can easily relate to the types of characters in the show … you know, geeks. I have already added it to the “shows to be DVR’ed”.

A majority of the past week I have been fighting a bad head cold. I usually get one about once a year. Thankfully this year I didn’t lose my voice, which is usually a common trait of most colds I get. Either way it was annoying as hell. I think I have finally beaten it though, last night I was feeling quite alert. Just about every night this week about 8:00 I start to feel like I could fall asleep standing up. Eventually the misery just becomes unbearable and I go to bed only to have a restless and pseudo-sleepless night unless I take Nyquil which usually puts me right to sleep; but I hate medicated sleep because it leaves me feeling just as drowsy and lousy in the morning. Furthermore, my knees are screaming because Dayquil/Nyquil both contain acetaminophen which means I can’t take my Ultracet unless I want liver failure … joy. You can imagine I was in a gem of a mood …

Ok, so was there some bus driver hiatus this week that nobody told me about, that reached its culmination today?!? For almost a half hour I waited, in the rain, for the damn bus. It has been like this all week, the bus has been 5-15 minutes late everyday, thus making my arrival later and later to work each day. I’m not going to stand in the rain for 30 minutes so I can be 45 minutes late to work!

I don’t think very many people visit my website much anymore, I haven’t updated it in over a year, possibly two; however for those that may stumble here because they were bored at work one day have undoubtedly noticed its changed. I maintain a guild website and recently I installed a blogging application for members of the guild to use. I became so infatuated with its ease and simplicity that I decided I would revamp this website and use the same blogging application; thus Biggs’ Space was born (the name maybe only temporary, but it’ll do for now).

The ultimate goal behind this ostentatious change is to spark motivation to keep up with its maintenance and perhaps add some usefulness to it. You are likely to see additional changes quite often as I tinker more with widgets, plugins and pages.
