Song for dead time

[giantsloth]

I have been and still am sick with an annoying cold. Nothing more than a blip in the grand scheme of things, but still annoying. A few days lost, a preview of future decrepitudes. If I didn't already know that daytime television sucks rocks, well, now I've been reminded of that. We did get The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford in from Netflix, and that was pretty happening. Kind of slow and confusing to begin with (but then again that could've just been the antihistamines) but a great final act.

There was a mallard pair in the creek behind our apartment this morning. Heralds of spring? I sure hope so.

I saw a pretty pair of mallards when I went for a walk yesterday.

And yes, daytime tv is awful.

In my nine years as a freelancer, working mostly from home, I'd turn on the TV during the day, but only for news. Call me naive, but I was pretty shocked to have 75 channels but nothing worth watching while I was ill. The next time I get sick, I'm hoping I'll have a stack of DVDs around.
