Death on Toast. With a side of dizzy.

[annerb]

I seem to have caught the plague. It's no fun. I mean, who likes to be sick, right? But usually I take illness as a sign from my body that I need a day or two of total wallow and relaxation. Only this is that one where you have no appetite and can't sleep and standing makes everything go dizzy. NOT COOL. What fun is staying home all day if you can't sleep for years and eat comfort food, or at least write fic? (Though I *may* have hallucinated an ending to the next chapter of my Ginny fic last night while I was not sleeping.) At least today I am upright enough to type on my laptop. So, how have I been keeping myself sane? Elizabeth Chadwick's Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion (omg, Isabelle, I love you.) Quite enjoyable reads, though as typical of historical fiction, there is a certain predictability and lack of...style in the books. (Though they would have been less predictable had I not read the afterword of the first book before reading the second. Lol.) Overall well done though. Other than that? Well, here's a hint:



OMG, streaming Netflix. You have reunited me with one of my childhood obsessions. The Young Riders! Josh Brolin, yum. God this show is cheesy, revisionist, white man apologetic, goofy, man-candy wonderfulness.

Ok. Time to lie down again before I pass out. Time for the next ep!

I used to want to be Lou when I grew up. Sadly, Netflix doesn't carry YR here (but I can finally catch the last three episodes of Firefly I missed)

That is the suckiest kind of sick day, when you are too sick to enjoy it. Get better. :)

Aw, too bad! Though I think it's funny that I remember all of the characters except Kid, who seems to have completely slipped my mind, and he's supposed to be the 'main character', 'central hero' guy. Probably why I find him so boring. (And a little self-righteous.) But, there is horse riding and shoot outs and chivalry and Teaspoon keeps buying new fangled things like bicycles and baseball sets. God love this show.
