Slowly coming back online

annathepiperThis weekend I mostly snoozed and read. I occasionally surfaced from Vicodin-induced grogginess enough to try to play Nethack, or poke at the books, or watch another couple episodes of Season Three of Remington Steele... but mostly, it was all about the snoozing and the reading.

mamishka came over on Friday, bringing with her a Robert Redford movie to watch, Three Days of the Condor. More fun than I had expected, and for bonus points, the first Robert Redford movie I can actually ever remember watching. It was our general consensus that The Bourne Identity, at least in overall style, owed quite a bit to this movie.
solarbird and I walked down to the shops yesterday afternoon because I was tired of lying around being tired, but that turned out to be too ambitious. The walk quite wiped me out. I'm feeling better today, though I did wind up working from home and took a nap partway through the afternoon. I am hoping to stagger back into work tomorrow, something close to my normal self. We'll see how that goes.
Last but not least, grateful acknowledgements must be sent out toamaltheae for the gifts that showed up in our mailbox today: a DVD of one of my favorite Elvis movies, Kid Galahad, and a slightly battered copy of The Twenty-One Balloons. I plan to be charmed all over again by the former (it does have one of my favorite Elvis Serenades the Girl scenes in it, as well as far better acting than any Elvis movie has any right to claim in it), and charmed for the first time by the latter. Thanks, amaltheae!
Miles since the 1st: 2.2
Miles out of Hobbiton: 2444.8
Miles out of Isengard: 651.8
Miles to Minas Tirith: 134.2
