So yeah-I'm still alive. But barely. I got blindsided by illness on Monday. Everything from my neck up is infected. Here is an artistic rendering of how I feel:
Truth be told that's a rendering of how I feel emotionally. In order for me to post a rendering of how I feel physically, an NC-17 rating is required for graphic violence. I'm a little better today, but it feels like cats have been using my throat as a scratching post.
Things I did while I was sick:
1. Moaned and whined and called my mom crying while saying, "I need my mommy." (I'm not kidding. I really did this. She'll tell you.)
2. Caught up on "24". My comments:
- This show is effing incredible except I'm getting a little sick of killing off main characters for shock value. It's growing tiresome.
- The ending of Monday night's episode made me almost poop my pants.
- Jack Bauer is so a part of my vocabulary and of pop culture that on the show when he calls someone and says, "My name is Jack Bauer" and the person hasn't heard of him, I am literally in utter disbelief. Um hello-he's JACK BAUER!!! Then I remember that on the show he's supposed to be in covert ops and nobody is supposed to know who he is except for people in our government.
- I would have sex with Jack Bauer for 24 hours straight. So would all my guy friends. That's not a joke.
3. Watched the Golden Glo-zzzzzz. Oh sorry. Even mentioning it again made me so bored I fell asleep. What a snoozefest. And don't even get me started on how Leo didn't win for "The Departed". That is just...that's a sin. That's what that is. If he doesn't win an Oscar, someone's going to get a nasty letter from Okay Seriously.
4. Watched "30 Rock" on DVR which is a show that I feel just keeps getting better. Here's an example. Tracy (Tracy Morgan) wants to thank Jack (Alec Baldwin) for helping him to earn some extra money:
Tracy: I'm gonna make you a mix tape. You like Phil Collins?
Jack: I have two ears and a heart, don't I?
Brilliant!
5. Watched Demetri Martin's Comedy Central stand up special on DVR. Let me tell you something. If you like yourself at all, you will find a way to watch this. I just looked it up, and it will be on Comedy Central again on 1/29 at 10pm and 1/30 at midnight. You're welcome.
Long time lurker, first time poster. :) Hope you're feeling better soon. Don't feel bad about the mommy thing. I'm quite a bit longer in the tooth than you and have been known to do that as well.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about 30 Rock. I started watching it for the Alec Baldwin, but think the show is getting stronger every week. Also, thanks for the Demetri Martin tip. :)
I say this with love: you get sick a lot. Maybe a vitamin or two?
ReplyDeleteLeo not winning is a serious crime. Who even saw that movie with Forest "Wonky Eye" Whitaker? Not this girl.
I can sympathize with your feeling icky. Been there, done that. Took me 12 days before I wised-up and went to the doctor. It felt sort of silly to be there for a "cold" but I was going crazy with the blowing and coughing. Turns out - sinus and ear infection. Keep an eye on it. (wait, that almost sounded kinda gross) Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up on Demetri Martin. Never heard of him before yesterday. Will check it out for sure.
SLCUP, oh if it were that simple. I take vitamins every day. I am just a sickly person. It almost all originates from my allergy problems, and this time is no exception. Goddammit, immune system, why hast thou failed me so?
ReplyDeleteI concur on Demetri Martin, that em-effer is hilarious.
ReplyDeletedemetri will be mine one day.
ReplyDeletefavorite 30 rock alec funny from recently upon answering tina's query of why he was wearing a tux at work - "it's after 6. what am i, a farmer?"
Jack Bauer will be mine one day.
ReplyDeleteI first saw Demetri on The Daily Show - he makes me laugh like a mo fo.
