Due to my cold, I've put my nasal strip experiment on hold. But I must say that when I've applied the strip properly, I could immediately tell the improvement in breathing. Of course that also means that I immediately go into nasal strip withdraw when I take it off in the morning. Also, I've noticed that for me, who get acne often due to oily facial skin, nasal strips aggravates the problem on the nose. Doh.

I just discovered a gem of a game called Shogun: Total War. It is an older game but heck it works on my clunky Celeron 500 at home so no complaints here. Addictive too. For a strategy-idiot like me who routinely sends my troops to their death, I was suprised I got so far.. then the game crashes on me before I can save my successful conquest. DOH. 4 hours of work down the drain.. If it happens again tonight I'll delete the game.
