malfunction junction

Today my body decided to break down.

Woke up with acid reflux, promptly followed by dramatic, er, bowel upset once I got up and moving.

Once these were resolved, I finally ate and developed the caffiene-deprivation headache that had clearly been maliciously lying in wait all day (upset innards + caffiene = probably bad, so no coffee today). After a trip to the grocery which included Excedrin Tension Headache pickup (thank you for the recommendation, shemhazai), D. made me lie down in a dark room (shut your filthy mind :P), and I have to say it definitely helped :)

I'm finally recovering from my skull-crusher and trying to salvage what's left of the day for sewing while watching more teevee: The last episode of Regency House Party and some Battlestar Galactica.

Regrettably finding more televisual feasting, though some of it may turn out to be little better than McDonalds for the mind: UFO Files and Conspiracy? Yes, I was a Lone Gunman in a former life :P

movie reviews

Spending far too much time in front of the tube, but not for naught:

Stage Beauty: Watched last night; a story about a great male "stage beauty" right before women are allowed to perform on stage in the 17th century. Witty, ribald, funny, and sweet, also well acted - and as near as I can tell, well dressed, right down to the historically accurate but heinously fussy "dog ear" curls on the women. Recommended :)

Kissing Jessica Stein: Story of a frustrated single girl with a twist - she finally meets a nice.. girl! Wonderfully sweet and silly, has a happy ending, but not the one you expect :)

Tourist's Guide to Driving Around Washington DC

Last one for today, I promise! From Kuro5hin, I can vouch for most of this being absolutely true. Except the turn signal thing - I always use mine and I'm NOT a tourist. Just remember, If it's 30 degrees, it's Orioles' opening day. If it's 100 degrees, it's the 'Skins opening day. If the humidity is 90+ and the temperature is 90+, then it's May,June,July,August and sometimes September.
