Nov. 22nd, 2019 09:43 pm1. Felt like crap after a night coughing and coughing a good portion of today. I think I need to buy honey. I have it -- it's just difficult to get out of the jar.
And I'm trying to crack down on sweets.
Cancelled my movie plans for Sunday --- when I realized all I wanted to do was sleep and drink tea and cough in peace.
Did get stuff done at work however. And got along with everyone for the most part, of course I felt horrible -- so didn't care and I let everyone know I felt horrible and to leave me alone.
When I get sick, I just want to be left alone.
Bought a lot of soup, water, and cough drops. Also lots of tea. And two huge boxes of kleenex. I need to get a humidifier. Or, I can create my own...
Co-workers (the movie goer ones who are both under the age of 30) are insistent that I see Parasite in a theater. This is a really good movie they both inform me. I don't know..I'm rarely enthused about seeing movies in theaters any longer, unless they are big event movies and even then? I was enthused about the Avengers Endgame, but frankly? I enjoyed watching it at home more.
Chidi: I don't get why you don't like the movie experience in the theater -
Me: Well, the other movie goers are rather rude and text message, and I'm taller than you are and have longer legs -- the theaters are not made for people of my height.
Chidi (looks up at me): You got a point there.
I tower over him. He's five foot seven. I'm close to six foot.
My brother had a conversation with my 15 year old niece -- who is five foot 8, my brother is six foot five, and I'm almost six foot.
Brother: Be happy with your height. You can fit into more places than we can.
Neice: Well, you're scary tall Dad
Me (and he is built like a pole...the boy takes up about as much room as a pole): He has a point. You don't want to be this tall. Planes, movie theaters, cars...beds..the world it was not made for long-legged people.
2. I've learned over time not to give unasked for or unwanted advice either at work or online. Unless someone directly asks me for advice, I'm staying quiet. Because no good comes from unasked for advice.
Often I don't know all the particulars and just annoy the person. It's better to not say anything. Or just say, I'm sorry, I hope things get better soon.
3. Finished "The Harlot Countess" which was poorly paced and had one too many sex scenes. [ Granted it was called the Harlot Countess - so really, what did I expect?] Also I never quite warmed to the characters. I skimmed 90% of it. I found it boring to be honest.

4. Also been reading the X-men Dawn of X books. There's an article in EW about the reboot of the X-men (it made the EW Must List of the Decade..). The books are a mixed bag. I like some more than others. Right now, the one's with the most innovative art are - Fallen Angels, X-Force and New Mutants. X-Men isn't bad, it's good enough, I suppose. I don't know I've been a tad disappointed in it. (I want more relationship drama and less, oh, we're a big happy family now and nothing horrible happened ever.) I like relationship drama angst in my comic books. I want them to be soapy, dang-it.
