Nightsweats, computer issues, and haircuts (aka Random News)
In happier news, I'm feeling substantially better today. I'm certainly not 100%, but I at least can get out and around without feeling like a ton of bricks is crushing my head.
The turning point was yesterday evening when I started sweating like I've never sweated before. Weirdly enough, I didn't even have a fever. Obviously, it's typical to sweat when a fever breaks. But despite having no fever to break, I sweated out whatever toxins were making me sick. It was a little gross, but it must have worked, because I felt substantially better afterwards.
Random news, part II: K1 cut my hair tonight. It's looks good, because K1 has the haircutting skillz to pay the billz.
For my birthday, she got me a pair of hair clippers to make the haircuts easier/faster. They are the shizzle. In addition to cutting hair, they make me want to talk in jive all the time.
Random news, part III: I finished upgrading my desktop pc last week. I added a new hard drive, doubled the amount of RAM, and put in a USB 2.0 card.
All went without too much of a hitch, except for one issue:
The hard drive (a Western Digital Caviar edition) is labeled as 200 gb. However, when I hooked it up to the computer, Windows would only recognize it as 130 gb. I don't really know what's happening to the extra 70 gb. The bios recognizes that it's 200 gb. But Windows doesn't seem to know this. I don't know if my IDE controller won't handle anything over 130 gb or what. If any of you computer people who know more than me about these things have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

You forgot to mention that the clippers were labeled "Ethnic" on the tag. That makes you even more prone to saying stuff like "fo shizzle" and other such terms.
Happy Birthday!
All you had to do was ask. Your instinct is spot on, as usual. it could be the BIOS, and it could be windows.
