I've been sick for almost a week and I'm getting really tired of it.  One day, laying on the couch, I watched Blades of Glory, the Strangers with Candy movie, and The Royal Tenenbaums.  I've read David Goodis' Shoot the Piano Player.  And then there was the day I watched all these science shows on the History channel.  I know all about pot, cocaine, water, the Hittite Empire, UFOs, the Burmuda Triangle, and that the world is going to end in 2012.  We don't have cable, but somehow we get the History Channel.  I half-wish we didn't.
