I have a massive headache that is about to morph into a migraine. The last time this happened, I was half passed out and starving. The only thing I could do was make a SPAM sandwich (which was more delicious than I could have ever imagined) and watch The Painted Veil on Chinese tv. No wonder why I never took to that movie. This time I have a better entertainment selection but I don't know if even Richard Armitage can save me from the cerebral shit-pounding that awaits.
