back at work...

so, didn't leave the apartment all weekend, didn't answer the phone (ironically this seemed to be the weekend EVERYTHING was going on), drank approximatly 25 cups of "yogi herbal tea," and two gallons of "Simply Orange" orange juice concomitant with mounds and mounds of fruit...if fact the first "real" meal i had in three days was a bowl of chili yesterday afternoon (i think i lost 10 pounds this weekend, no joke, i had NO appetite)...prologue to that it was all fuji apples, bananas, cantalope and canned pinapple...

movies watched this weekend:

1. Sin City (#1 comic book movie ever...Batman Begins #2)
2. Gandhi (wow! this movie! i had no idea...)
3. American Me
4. Coming To America
5. The Shining

American Me struck me most (i hadn't seen it since middle school)...watching the "making of" and learning that more than half of the cast were actual gang members/ Folsom prisoners...and then learning that a lot of the actors/gang members in the movie were killed/maimed shortly after the film wrapped...not because of the film, but just because...

got sick of taking NyQuil so i did some meds digging and found some old prescription cold pills...currently taking those...though i'm holding off on the Amoxycillin until i know this head cold is a sinus infection...we'll see...

currently in my office listening to Drew Gardner reading at Segue in New York (http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/authors/Gardner/Gardner-Drew_Segue_NY_11-5-05.mp3), thanks for the link Kaplan! waiting for Ann (librarian) to bring me a box of new audio tapes to dig into and start digitizing...
