Sick again... I blame the kids

Well, this is upper-respiratory #3 for the winter. I am beginning to think that my immune system is lazy! Come on - fight!! I assume this is something to do with working in close proximity to so many children every day, but then I wasn't sick this often last year. Maybe it's the jump to 11 classes and heightened sleep-deprivation?

Oh well - trying a few strategies now:
  • Vitamin C - loads of lemon drinks and oranges
  • Red wine - no idea if this will work... it has antioxidants, does that count?
  • Sleep - um... so this is more of a theory at the moment, perhaps I should put that into practice!









Good night!

Hottest 100 Songs of All Time

Triple J released the Hottest 100 songs of all time as voted by Australia. http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100_alltime/countdown/cd_list.htm

Looks a lot like the people who were listening to the radio in the 90's were doing most of the voting ... and HAVEN'T MOVED ON!! C'mon guys, I used to love Nirvana too, but can't we get past that now?

Radiohead made four spots in the top 50 (yeah!) but geez, the selections are so predictable! Radiohead have really changed over the years and are continuing to produce songs of real originality and diversity, and yet people have just voted for the ones that were popular ten years ago.

I conclude that we are predominantly a bunch of lame-o's who are too attached to the music we liked in our youth :)
