hey, it's lethebasii's birthday! :D have a good one!

I am down for the count today, staying in bed as much as possible. Either it's a cold-type thing or it's a girly thing (I usually feel like I'm coming down with the flu in the last few days before my period, and it's right on time for that to happen). I have tea, juice, soup, books, and TV. I'll dig in for a day or two, take lots of vitamin C, and come out feeling better, I hope. I had a good night's sleep, but typical of my health problems, I still feel really tired.

Finished a book before I went to sleep last night called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, by Mark Haddon. It is short and quite worth reading. Today I choose between finishing Michelle Tea's Chelsea Whistle, reading Everything Is Illuminated (Jonathan Safran Foer), Hey Nostradamus (Douglas Coupland), The Crimson Petal and the White (Michel Faber - I've been waiting for this one forever), My Life As A Fake (Peter Carey), or running downstairs and getting the Pepys bio by Claire Tomalin that is sitting on my coffee table. It's an embarrasment of riches. Oh, I also have Liza Picard's book on 18th-century London. Her Restoration London was so great that I bet I'll really enjoy her look at the city almost a century later. Having a bunch of good books to read almost makes it fun to feel ill. I also have Games magazine, knitting, and a couple of my own (non-library) books to read.

In an hour or so it'll be soup time, and in just fifteen minutes Barbarella comes on, and maybe sometime after that I'll watch Alice in Wonderland or something. Meanwhile I hope my mom takes my car in to the Saturn dealership and has the mirror fixed. Maybe she'll get around to dropping the VCR/DVD unit off somewhere, too. *sigh*
