I’m sure there’s nothing more boring than blog entries about being sick, but — well, it turns out I’m still sick. My flu is gone, but it’s left behind a probable sinus infection. I’m seeing the doctor today to find out for sure. (I get a sinus infection every couple of years or so.)
I feel crappy. So I’ve decided to postpone my birthday happy hour that was going to be tonight. Damn.
This week of vacation is not turning out how I’d expected.
At any rate, a week off is a week off, so I’m still getting to laze around and watch TV and read. And assuming I’m prescribed antibiotics today, I should begin to feel better tomorrow. So I’ll still have a few days to do stuff before going back to work. Anyway, I had to use these vacation days by the end of the year or lose them, so no big loss there.
Yesterday we watched the “Buffy” Halloween episode that takes place at the fraternity house, where everyone’s fears start coming true and at the end they have to face the demon Gaknar. It’s got a great ending. Sigh… I miss Buffy.
Since tomorrow’s the last day of the year, I guess I’ll do some sort of year-end round up tomorrow.
In the meantime, you can play Pac-Mondrian. It’s cute. But I find that the music adds a ghostly nostalgic feel to the game.
Colds like this are just the pits. So I suggest that since you’re lying about and feeling shitty you might want to look at some lengthy movies to pass the time. I cannot reccomend Visconti’s The Leopard highly enough. One of the greatest films ever made its influenced scores of lesser films (and when you see it you’ll know which ones) and is held together by Burt Lancaster’s amazing performance as the Prince of Salina. Extra added attraction: Alain Delon at his most beautiful.
Hope you’re feeling better soon. Lots of my friends wound up with Sinus infections from this latest cold that was going around. Come to think of it, I might have had one too as the bridge of my nose had a sharp pain for days… Hey, I’m a huge Buffy fan. I just finished watching ALL the episodes from Season One and finished the very last one in Season Seven last night. In fact, I just mentioned it in my blog entry earlier today. Small world. Meanwhile, Happy New Year!
Sorry to hear yer still feeling ill. Whatta way to end the year and have a birthday. Speaking of which – Happy belated! Hope you feel better soon.
I miss Buffy as well.
I’ll confess- I cried at the end of the last Buffy show because I knew that was the end…
