Jan. 27th, 2006 04:12 pmThis is a persistent cold. I have now nicknamed my office trash can "Mt. Kleenex".
I called the donut shop this morning to see if I needed to come in to work, and I guess I really sounded crappy because I got an immediate, "No, stay home." Time to go the orange juice and pill-popping route, clearly.
Other forms of therapy include sitting here and writing (of course) and reading The Chronicles of Narnia. I got the entire series for Christmas, and I'm really enjoying it so far . . . when I was little, I only read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and that took me a long time to get through because when Aslan was killed I got so mad I shut the book and didn't pick it up again for over a month. lol (I think I was about seven or so, and had absolutely no clue about the Biblical parallels)
The books have such an different tone to them-- very laid back and conversational. After having it drummed into my head in various writing classes to never use 'you' and 'we' in a book, it's interesting to see them used so much here, along with the constant side notes in parentheses to the reader.
On movie news, if Brokeback Mountain is still playing in Wichita next Monday, my husband and friend I (and possibly my mother) will be making a pilgrimage to see it. Yay.
And has anyone heard anything about that new movie End of the Spear? I want to see that.
