A bunch of random and totally unrelated things:
I was not at work yesterday. I stayed home sick. I should have stayed home sick on Tuesday, too, because I was awake half the night with a fever and some fairly excruciating abdominal pain of an unknown origin. I woke up Wednesday feeling quite crappy, so I swallowed my usual sickness denial and stayed in bed all day. I'm feeling much better now, thanks for asking.
Today is the 31st anniversary of Bloody Sunday. Not that I'm trying to be all political or anything, because I usually try to keep my political views away from here, but I'm from a big Irish Catholic family, and this particular event is one of those things that the Irish Catholics get all upset about. So, yeah. Go learn something.
Ah, man's inhumanity to man. Warms the heart, doesn't it?
Moving on. I watched a made-for-TV movie on NBC last night called War Stories. It started out okay, with some semi-realistic depictions of war correspondents, but quickly became ridiculous. The part that made it just shoot right past plausible and go all the way over to completely fucking retarded was when Jeff Goldblum's character (a reporter) and Lake Bell's character (a photographer) were abducted and taken into a cave to interview a guy that looked just like Bin Laden but was supposed to be some fictional al-Qaeda leader with another name that I can't quite recall at the moment because my memory is so clouded by the sheer fucking awfulness. I watched it all the way through, though, because I'd rather watch drivel like that that sit through 'American Idol' with the allegedly gay Ryan Seacrest and his man-blouses.
I have plans to actually leave the house this weekend. This is deserving of headline news in the L.A. Times. I ain't kidding.
Tomorrow, we will return to our regularly scheduled programming of vitriol, sarcasm, and blatant disregard for other people's feelings.
