love is not love which alters when it alteration finds

I've got the flu. I'm starting into my second week, so I'm ambulatory, but I still can't breathe through any factory-standard orifice. Also food in all forms repulses me. Also I want to kill people. Luckily my potential victims can hear me attempting to respire from several football fields away, so as yet the fatality count is zero

Your thoughts on House: AGREED.
Your thoughts on I Love Phillip Morris: AGREED.

Honestly even if it is the flu talking, you're still making more sense than at least half the country's population.

What I love most about House's cohort of fools:
1.) They're all EEWWW! HOUSE IS A DISEASE! LET'S GET AWAY FROM HIM OR HE'LL INFECT US AND WE'LL GET ALL COLD AND COMPETENT AND STUFF! EWWWWWWW! but he's a piece of apple pie when they're, you know, dying of some vanishingly rare jungle disease.
2.) What could the effort of saving hundreds of lives truly be worth when compared to the day-to-day superhuman accomplishments of the upper-middle-class white parent? Clearly being a mommy is mega-important and worth throwing everything else in your life over for. Aw, babies are so cuuuuuute! And nothing else matters! Let's all get one, and then spend the rest of our lives agonizing over whether or not we're raising it properly!

Because, of course, this is secretly 1986, and this is a fresh, relevant, and not at all exhausted topic of conversation.

Also, I saw a headline in Entertainment Weekly awhile ago that said something like "House Solves Its Chameron Problems" and

Re: I Love Phillip Morris
DON'T MAKE ME DRIVE TO CANADA TO WATCH IT. BECAUSE YOU KNOW I WILL.
OH YES PLEASE. :D

Flu sucks, I hope you feel better. Copious amounts of water! And tea!

[oryssein]

Thanks very much. I made a giant bucket of tea and poured honey and fake lemon juice in it, and I've been swilling it for hours. It does make me feel better, but I tend to think that might be because it heats my head up so much that I lose all feeling in my face.

Not that that's a bad thing, of course.

I love Batman.

Not-so-shockingly, I've heard nothing of this film from here. Um. Holy shit.

Okay, stop falling cripplingly ill, please. >:(

Imminent email is still imminent (as per usual).

[oryssein]

I actually just replied to someone I'd forgotten to e-mail for about five months, so you're still topping my record. No worries.

If I hadn't recently renewed my late-adolescent interest in stalking Ewan McGregor, I wouldn't have heard about I Love You Phillip Morris either, and I live here. Er. He had another movie open at Sundance that also failed to attract a distributor, but because there isn't any gay in it no one cares. Including me. I don't even remember what it was called. I think it might've involved Terrorists, though, which is never a good sign.

I am sadly but one snot-covered link in the long chain of flu patients composed of my neighbors and family members. This was inevitable, like death and taxes. Although neither of those things necessarily involves mind-altering medication that makes you pee ten times an hour. Necessarily.

> that's all i have to say. i am excited about seeing coraline. i hope it's not terrible.

[oryssein]

Hey, you know I tried to leave several comments on your blog the other day, but I kept getting errors. I didn't feel well, so I just gave up.

Your new space looks awesome, btw.

I have never even heard of Emma Bull, but I will look into it, thanks.

I too hope Coraline isn't terrible. I'm not sure if it will get filed on my Nightmare Before Christmas brainshelf, but hopefully it won't be as forgettable as The Corpse Bride.
