Death on Toast. With a side of dizzy.

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'm just getting over the "plague" so i know exactly how you feel. Oy. Worst week like EVER! Hope you get better soon. Sincerely. Just from that pic, i can tell that show is full of eye-candy goodness, but I have no idea who the Young Riders are (yes, thats proof that 24 IS still too young lol)

God, I wish my week was done. Feeling slightly better, but no where near as quickly as I would like. Luckily I am now up to sitting at a computer and sometimes words are even coming. So who am I to complain?

Young Riders is definitely an eye-candy show. A lot of bad boys with good hearts. Plus, late 80s cheese for good measure. Fun times!
