On top of packing and moving and then unpacking, I've spent the past 5 days in bed sick and feeling sorry for myself. Fortunately with the help of steroids, Tylenol and horse-pill-sized antibiotics I believe I'm on the mend!
You would think staying home from work and spending hours on the couch would provide me with plenty of time to do some blogging. But blogging requires thinking and thinking requires energy and I was spending all of that energy trying to ignore some nasty throat pain.
I did, however, have plenty of time to rediscover the joys of YouTube. Here are my top three videos that helped me get through my sickness:
This one (from the British Office) has been in my YouTube favorites for a while. I don't know why, but it gets me every the time. Classic David Brent:
Sal (creator of the brilliant blog Already Pretty) got me hooked on Eddie Izzard a couple of weeks ago, but it was my boyfriend who introduced me to this brilliant Izzard/Lego clip:
I can't remember how I stumbled upon Lockdown projects, but these two snowboarding/video producing Brits are hilarious. Everything from the 80s clothes to the birdwatching just does it for me:
I promise the next post will be more fashion-oriented, but after spending 5 days of eating soup, searching YouTube and reading/sleeping/watching movies in my pjs, this was really the best post subject I could think of.
I hope these videos brighten up your Monday!

"I need a girlfriend" is hilarious!
I hope you feel better SOON honey! That sucks so bad! Big hug! XO
First of all I hope you fully recover soon! Sore throats/colds can be the worst, esp. because people so often feel guilty of complaining about them! Love all of these videos xxoo
Awwww I hope you feel better soon!
Just what the doctor ordered! Hope you're feeling better. Thanks for the pick-me-up.
Hah! I've got that Izzard bit on DVD, but never seen it acted out by Legos!
Hope you feel better soon, Cath. What a drag to get sick in the middle of a big move ...
lol these are great!
feel better soon!
That Deathstar canteen bit is one of my favorites. I've watched the Eddie Izzard DVD it's from like 50 times -- if you're still feeling icky, watch the whole thing, it's called Circle. It might even have medicinal properties! Okay, maybe not. But it's hilarious. Anyway, feel better!
Sorry to hear you've been sick.
Ah YouTube...what did we do back in the day when we were sick, before blogs, YouTube, and the Internet? Dark days indeed. ;)
CL: DAVID BRENT FTW! My bf and I looooove him. Have you seen David Brent's music video? I think it's in the Christmas special. It's TDF.
LL: To answer your question about bikini tops as bras, I think you could definitely pull it off in the ATL!I usually don't go with halter styles, the tight knot bothers the shit out of me after 5 hours or so and that just screams "I'm using a bikini top as a bra." I use a triangle bra style, cross-back, or racer back bikini tops. I like having the pop of pattern or color peeking out from a slubby tank. I think I'm wearing an example of this in my catamaran post from a while back.
you have to watch curb! gotta love the big hair, right? xo
Thanks for the well-wishes everyone!
