Still here, sorta

jianantonicI've been so sick so much of the time lately, I'm starting to forget what it feels like to be healthy. Yesterday I had a migraine, which knocked me out for half the day. Today I've been feeling mostly okay. It's weird...some days I'll be so sick I'll swear I've never felt worse in my life, and the very next day I'm just fine. It's not like I have an illness so much as just recurring severe nausea and body pain. One more thing to ask the doc about when I get my ass checked out, which I can hopefully squeeze in this week while I'm here.
Today the wind was so strong in town that it knocked our power out for most of the day. As a result, I've just been cuddled up in bed most of the day. It's back now, but I'm feeling rather unmotivated as to getting out of bed. I was out this morning, running the GNT finals and kibitzing. There were some crazy results today. The teams that I watched were both playing precision in all partnerships, so you'd think they'd reach some of the same contracts. I don't think any of them played the same contract on the same board, and nearly every board was a swing. I saw so many part scores make six and -1100's it was like watching a 199er game, but these were the two strongest teams in our area. It was wild.
I finished reading Sense and Sensibility the other day. Before I read Pride and Prejudice two years ago, I'd never read any Jane Austen. I LOVED P&P, and I liked S&S quite a bit, but I was a little annoyed that it was essentially the same story in many ways. It's also sort of strange that character names recur throughout Austen's works. I mean, I've only finished these two, so it's not like I'm an authority or anything on what she does in all her novels, it's just that I saw a lot of similarities and found S&S quite predictable as a result. I picked up the DVD and watched it yesterday, too. I love Emma Thompson, but she was not convincing as a 19-year old, and I feel like the film was too short to really get into the depth of any aspects of the characters or plot. I'm looking forward to the miniseries next month, which should keep to the story a bit better...but I probably won't see it until they release it on DVD who knows when.
Anyway, I can feel a headache creeping back, so I'm going to get offline for a while and hope it goes away.
Peace.
