It’s a-me, Mario!
Dude, I am so sick.
Like, ill sick, not masturbating to midget bondage snuff porn sick. Although, the fact that I chose that as an example surely speaks volumes all on its own.
I’m eating my breakfast right now, a bowl of chocolate sugar-rice, at 11.45 in my dressing gown having just succeeded on my second attempt of the day to get the fuck out of bed. It’s just so sudden, you know? I was feeling a leeetle odd yesterday, sure, but I opened my eyes this morning feeling like death warmed over. I’m pretty sure a good night’s sleep is supposed to help with that kind of shit, isn’t it? Go to bed feeling like death, wake up feeling just a little odd. Go to bed feeling a little odd, wake up feeling pretty OK. That’s the nursery rhyme, right?
Maybe they took me away in the night and experimented on me? Maybe I’m host to some bizarre alien cure for the common cold? Or maybe it’s a cure for stupidity, and one of the side effects is a common cold! Personally, I’d rather be stupid. I can deal with stupid; I’ve had practice.
Oh, and for anyone wondering about the title of this post, it’s from the intro to this show I just discovered that I’ve already waxed lyrical about to anyone who’ll listen. It’s actually a pretty good example of how the internet is full of wonderful things too. See, I was checking out some stuff on play.com and they do this thing where they show you other shit that the principle cast might have been in: Jewel Staite happened to have been this show “Huff”. Salivating uncontrollably I shuffled over to IMDB to find it had some pretty glowing reviews.
48 hours of torrenting later I’m in possession of the first season and it seems miss Staite only really has a bit-part in this one episode, but I don’t care because the show is pretty awesome. Well, it’s also kind of formulaic, coming after the success of Six Feet Under and more recently that show about those housewives who may or may not be kind of desperate, but it’s also funny as all hell and very clever. Not to mention only about a quarter as fucking depressing as 6 feet. Also, each episode is more or less a full goddam hour long, which is novel.
So go watch it. Or not, I guess.
