I've been kind of off-line

[jack_ryder]

as I've been home with the squits - that is a form of explosive diarrhoea gifted to me by the thoughtful murasaki_1966 (honestly, the Old Grey Whistle Test dvds were more than sufficient for a birthday present.)

murasaki_1966 had it far worse but in the way of all things her's really only lasted a day, whilst mine lasted most of last week (I'm only just on solids, as it were.)

So much of that time has been spent, well, resting as I haven't been up to much else (activities being subject to constant interruption.)

I did manage to watch a fair bit of the second series of the Big Bang Theory - mostly to keep my spirits up. As I was physically able to stay in one place for longer than 22 minutes at a time I experimented with some dvds: Pontypool - which I recommend (especially if you don't know anything about it), and The Cell - which I can't recommend as it seems to be a powerpoint presentation on trends in late 20th century visual art somehow spliced into a serial killer film. With Jennifer Lopez as an especially boring lecturer.

Things are settling down so I shall be at work tomorrow (and even better, at Leonard Cohen tomorrow night) so I just thought I drop in and remind people I was still alive.
