I&#8217;m kind of meh about the figure-skating in all honesty though I&#8217;m kind of amused that Yevegny Plushenko had to drop out, especially because there was a controversy with him being given too generous scores in the team competition.  I&#8217;m kind of rooting for the Filipino male skater who qualified for the medals round because it would be cool if he made the podium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt4\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt4\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 4 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Grumping.<\/strong>  The mutant death cold that took my voice away last week evolved into a respiratory infection so I was put on Augmentin.  Well, Augmentin caused ummm&#8230; a secondary problem so I had to have two doses of Diflucan called in.  Have I mentioned that taking Augmentin and Diflucan together does not do good things to my stomach?  I&#8217;m hoping that all of this eventually gets cleared up &#8212; I&#8217;m not getting much done on errands because I&#8217;m so tired and needing to sleep.
