Help, I'm Alive (Surviving a Cold)

Things that have been keeping me sane through a very nasty cold:

GLIMPSE (above).  An awesome AVANT Magazine fashion editorial/video (which, unfortunately, I can’t embed) set to Sigur Rós’s “Glósóli.”  Go, click, watch it.  I am totally in love.

Coloring books.  Disney Princesses + colored pencils = love.  I feel like a kid again.

Metric.  I am going to see them perform with Band of Skulls at Mr. Smalls Theatre two days before Thanksgiving.  YES!  I can’t even describe how excited I am.

Contac, cough drops, and raw garlic—this stuff saved me.  For more tips, check out Gala’s Magical Guide to Getting Well.

Pontypool.  If you haven’t seen this movie yet, go find it.  It’s scary AND it makes you think.

Buying plane tickets.  All my old friends will be here in early to mid-December—score!

Three days of chili—the best of the best—from my roommate, and corn muffins.

Matthieu reading to me, playing Rummy with me, sitting through first-season ER (mmm…George Clooney), and carrying me to bed.  Every night.

All these things got me through the week, and I am thankful for them.  There were probably more, and if I forgot what they were, I am sorry…my sense of time has been a little off.

P.S.  It has come to my attention that post comments were recently unavailable (I’m not sure for how long).  It’s fixed temporarily for now, so comment away—and I’ll keep an eye on it in the future.

For those who are ill, get well.  The rest of you—stay the course.
