2010 — and that’s pronounced Twenty-Ten, just to be clear — though we’re not yet a full two weeks into it, is already off to an auspicious start.

Despite the fact that I just got over being sick a month ago, some kind of flu-like thing came back to rape me last Friday, and did so with a vengeance. Thusly I’ve spent the last sixty hours or so doing almost absolutely nothing except watching television and wishing I were dead. Over the weekend I managed to watch the excellent fifth and final season of BOSTON LEGAL, a couple of the HARRY POTTER movies, and a terrible film called DEATH SENTENCE (which was a new adaptation of the book that was originally adapted in 1974 as the Charlie Bronson masterpiece, DEATH WISH).

Today finds me feeling a little bit better. Not good enough to really do anything that might risk setting back my recovery, but at least good enough to be getting bored from all this laying around. Always a good sign, in my opinion. So I shall dick around on the Internet for a bit, and contemplate being well enough to see friends again soon.

Until tomorrow, then . . .
