Brandon and I went to see Jumper at the Los Cerritos Center on Sunday. (Yes, even after I spent the entire day before in the theater, I willingly went back. Just don’t give me any popcorn.) We dutifully sat through the previews. (Yey, Indiana Jones!) The movie finally begun. Just after Hayden Christiansen’s character trudged home soaking wet after his first “jump”, about 5 minutes in, the little lights through out the theater started to flash brightly. A voice came on to tell us that there is an emergency and everyone please calmly exit the building through the emergency exits...

There was a few surprises tonight at the Big Show. Marion Cotillard beat out the shoe-in Julie Christie. I guess the Academy didn’t want to give it to her twice, eh? Otherwise, the obvious did win. 12 out of 24 this year, my dearests. 50%. Totally off my game. I’m blaming it on the flu. Heh. I made a few bad choices but there are those Oscar surprises again, you know. BEST PICTURE [ ] Atonement [ ] Juno [ ] Michael Clayton [X] No Country for Old Men [ ] There Will Be Blood – I think this one...

Yes, dahlings. I survived the 2nd annual movie marathon! Actually what the doctor’s order although all that sittin’ seems to have pinch a nerve in my left shoulder. Irena and Danny came with me. I also made acquaintance with my neighbor Amanda who also did this last year. The guys in front of me sat next to me last year as well. It’s becoming a tradition for most people. Haha! My favorite of the five is There Will Be Blood, amazingly. Daniel Day Lewis blew me the hell away. I mean, as much as I was anticipating the milkshake line,...

The flu seems to have run its course. The coughing is not bronchitis but the leftover from the ongoing sinus infection. No, I am not entirely out of the woods yet. That was my doctor’s opinion. She said to take it easy this weekend. It’s okay to go to my movie marathon tomorrow as long as I stay warm. LOL. The best thing for me right now is rest. Sloth by prescription. I can totally use some of that right now. Brandon took me to breakfast after the morning appointment and we picked up my antibiotics on the way home. ...

Just dropping a line to let y’all know I’m still alive. The high fever continued through Monday. Reduced to low grade for the past two days as I marched along to put on a Big Conference yesterday. I spent the night at the hotel on Tuesday and had 3 hours of sleep. That was what I got for $200, a room on the 4th floor by the freeway. The entire crew of Tokyo Drift must have been practicing outside my window all night. Needless to say, right after the event, with the blessing of my boss, I went home and...

That was the temperature I woke up with at 4:45 a.m. this morning. Only once has it dipped below 100 but only for an hour if that. I’ve been hovering around 101 all day with occasional 102s. Seriously man. Just shoot me....
