From Sickness to Shunsuke

I've been sick since Saturday. I worked through the day, then felt headache-y on Sunday, collapsed on Monday, rested Tuesday, and am now gaining some semblance of health.

I still can't eat though. Campbell's soup? I ate one of those microwaveable bowls...then watched a few YouTube videos...only to feel that irrepressible urge to go. I'll spare you the details.

That bowl of soup was the only thing save water, tea, cough drops, and cough syrup to enter my body, and it didn't even last that long. 72 hrs now (Sunday's dinner at 9pm, pork with bell peppers and spinach on pasta) since my last solid-food meal...sad.

The videos I watched were of one brilliant football player. He plays for Celtic Football Club, which is pretty much the New York Yankees of the Scottish Premier League. Celtic is playing their rival Rangers (NY-Boston) in what's called the "Old Firm Derby." To open the scoring...well, I'll let Shunsuke Nakamura introduce himself:



More where that came from...a series of free kicks and lobs against the Celtic Premier League, and a pair of sweet goals against Manchester United during the group stages in last year's Champions League.
