Feeling Better.. kind of

Well it's been a week since I started to not feel so well and I'm still not 100% but getting there.. took off a few days from work and haven't worked out in a week. I went from coughing up a lung and getting dizzy if I stood for more then a few minutes to now having major sinus issues and a cough here and there. At least I don't get dizzy anymore and able to drive again. Been back at work the past few days and doing pretty good. I'd say I'm about 70% well.. hope to be back to my full 100% by the weekend.. but guess will see.. I hope to start working out again on Monday. Ugg.. being sick sucks!!!

Being Human

Just watched Syfy's remake of the UK series Being Human. I haven't seen any of the UK version though I have wanted too for a year or so now. So I was looking forward to this US version and I wasn't disappointed. Both Harry and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the whole concept, the character were great and you care about them very quickly. If you don't know what the story is it's a Vampire and Werewolf trying to live normals lives when they move in together and there is a ghost that lives in their new house... so it's about those three "people" trying to be human. I'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes.. and I do plan on watching the UK version as well.

The Cape

Still sick so I stayed home from work today and decided to catch up on some TV. I sat down to watch the 2 hour premiere and following episode of The Cape. Here's a brief synopsis of the show:

The series, set in the fictional metropolis of Palm City, follows Vince Faraday, an honest police detective who is considering leaving the city's corrupt police force. He witnesses the murder of the city's new police chief by a mysterious individual known as "Chess". Faraday accepts an offer to work for the private security firm of billionaire Peter Fleming, who is petitioning the city to privatize their police and public safety operations. An e-mail from the anonymous investigative blogger "Orwell" leads Faraday and his partner Marty Voyt to a cargo train owned by Fleming's firm that is smuggling explosives. Unfortunately, Voyt has set up Faraday and delivers him to Chess, who is Fleming himself. Fleming frames Faraday for the police chief's murder and sends his security teams after Faraday in a chase (televised by local news stations) that culminates in an explosion. The entire city (including Faraday's family) now believes that Faraday is Chess and that he died in the explosion. Faraday survives and is taken in by a traveling circus turned bank robbery ring. Their leader, Max Malini, trains Faraday to use a special black cape to defend himself against his foes. The circus folk convince Faraday that he cannot reveal himself to his wife and son without endangering their lives. Faraday decides to fight Palm City's corruption and clear his name by taking the guise of his son's favorite comic book hero, "The Cape".

I enjoyed it, I like the characters and the storyline. I think the effects are pretty cool and I like that The Cape is more like Batman then Superman, he has no super powers. I like Summer Glau's character, three episodes in and your getting a little bit of information about her. I like that they have a main bad guy.. Chess but they also have various other bad guys so The Cape won't be fighting Chess every week and him getting away just in the nick of time. I like the carnival people.. it's a nice supporting cast. It's not a must see TV show.. yet!! but it has potential and I look forward to to seeing where it goes.

A Healthier Me - Day 156

One huge downside to being so sick and dizzy is that you can't stand for more then a few minutes, which makes workouting impossible. I missed my workout on Wednesday, but figured I'd make it up on the weekend. Well Thursday mid-day at work I started to feel ill and it got progressively worse. So when I got home Thursday night I did not work out and was sick Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so no working out for me the past five days, which is horrible.

But it is Monday so I did my weigh in, I'm currently 207

Yeah I figured I would gain some weight.. I mean I'm sick but it hasn't effect my appetite. I'm actually still sick today but dragging myself into work.. and depending on how I feel tonight I may skip my Monday workout as well. I hate being sick.
