Sometimes I wonder if I've been unknowingly recruited by some race
of superior beings, like the Talosians, who are totally mental and rarely move
but have a rich inner life nevertheless and they crave real-world
stimulation. They manipulate me into traveling to scenic places
getting involved in novel situations and can experience
what's happening by tapping into my own senses. Maybe they're Angels?
Directing me occasionally to their old house?
Ohhh, still feeling awful from this cold. I thought it was receding,
instead my symptoms are mutating. Still too much congestion, although
the nose isn't as runny as it was several days ago. Today I woke
up with a headache and some coughing - a lethal combination since each cough
briefly intensifies the head pain. <1>
Went home at lunch and made chicken noodle soup, then lay down for a bit.
Why pretend to work? Can't concentrate with a head like this... took an
Esgic, and am feeling better. Other symptom - chills. Hey, this isn't the
flu, is it? I got a shot to avoid that misery this year!
Happened to see a bit of the "Regis and Kathy Lee" program
and nausea was my only reaction. How can anybody stand their
schtick? He's this smarmy, arrogant New Yorker-dickhead who believes
what he says is meaningful, while she's this archaic bimbo decoration
who talks but says nothing. Pardon me while I gag. (Apologies to G who
maintains a "school-spirit" loyalty WRT Kathie Lee since he claims
somebody in his yearbook with a different name is she. He's upset
when I have difficulty distinguishing between Kathie Lee Gifford
and Cathy Lee Crosby. <2>)
Here's a dumb question: Is Jessie Ventura (and Ross Perot)'s Reform party related
to the Reform Party of Canada? Of course not, I guess I'm being ridiculous...
Just heard over the radio from the Minnesota gubernatorial inauguration - Arnold
Schwarznegger was there, hailing Jessie's magnetic personality.
As an indicator of how things are finally loosening
up in another direction, there's talk now of a pair of exhibition
games between the Baltimore Orioles and the Havana team,
(the Sugar Kings?) the first game to be held there; the
next, here.
Somewhere in the Washington Post today I read a journalist say this
about current affairs: "Understand: I am not talking about a good movie,
but rather one of those things they show on the walls at railroad
terminals." How's that again? What movies are those?
