I HATE HICCUPS AND IAN CUMMINGS IS AWESOME

I've had the hiccups all day. Pretty much literally. I got the hiccups in early afternoon, had them for a long time, then they finally went away then only a little bit later I got them again, then they went away when I went outside then as soon as I sat down I got them again. It really stinks.

We're going to Rose Hills on Monday. It's gonna be fun.

I just took THE best shower ever. It's weird. It was the most... I can't think of a word for it... the best shower ever, but I don't know why. I could've (And would've) stayed in there for at least an hour longer but Julia said she was waiting to get in.

Well, it's time for me to go be obsessed about Madden.

EDIT:
NOOO!!!! WHY IS THE WORLD SO CRUEL!?!?!??!

EA Sports President Peter Moore announced today that Madden NFL 10 Lead Developer Ian Cummings would miss the rest of the current development cycle after being diagnosed with an advanced case of carpal tunnel syndrome.

"It was a tough call, but we decided we couldn't jeopardize the rest of his career just for the benefit of these final few weeks of development," Moore said. "Of course Ian, being the trooper that he is, wanted to keep working, but his potential is just too great to take that risk."

It is believed Cummings developed the condition while typing non-stop to answer the estimated 2,400 questions asked of him every day in the OS Madden forums. Security video from inside the EA Sports office appears to show Cummings wincing in pain as he types out a response to yet another question about facemasks.

"I just felt it was important to answer all of the questions the community has, even if it is the tenth time I've discussed the color of the trim on the Dolphins' alternate jerseys," Cummings said.

The injury forced EA Sports to dip into their depleted minor league system, calling up Dennis Waverly, who last worked on NASCAR Thunder 2003, to replace Cummings.

"Yeah, football, I've seen that on TV a couple times," Waverly said. "That Vinny Testaverde is one heck of a player."

Cummings is scheduled to have corrective surgery performed next week by Dr. Lewis Yocum, and is tentatively scheduled to return just in time to get flamed for not rating Knowshon Moreno high enough by some guy with 3 posts.
