House of Plague Redux Day 3
May. 8th, 2022 09:10 pmMainly an upper respiratory ailment, although it is now in throat and chest and not head. So I'm coughing, as opposed to sneezing, no more watery eyes, and the headache is gone finally.
Also I feel like I've had the wind knocked out of me. The fatigue is akin to feeling like I've just climbed fifty flights of steps.
I'm hoping this is mostly over by Tuesday, so I can head back into the office on Wednesday.
Meanwhile mother regaled me with all the day trips my brother is taking in upstate New York, visiting various small towns. I'm not really envious, maybe a little, I'm just kind of ...blank at the moment?
**
Finished binging Superman and Lois - which ended with Clark revealing that he was Superman to Lana Lang with his family's approval.
I don't think there are any more episodes in this season. But they did approve a third season. This is a tightly written series, and filmed rather well - it's kind of Superman filmed with the same production value as say Friday Night Lights. So Superman by way of Friday Night Lights, is a good description of it.
My only quibble - is for some reason all the men have a five o'clock shadow, which is kind of odd.
I do however like Tyler H's take on Superman and Clark Kent, also the rest of the casting is rather well done. Having Lana Lang and her family be Hispanic is a smart move. Also the addition of John Henry Irons and his daughter Natalie from a parallel universe, and as a kind of a DC take on Iron Man works rather well, and builds diversity.
It was good. Tight. And for the most part engaging. I wish I could have streamed it on HBO Max like the previous season - because the commercials were driving me nuts.
Next up? Star Trek Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds. Twitter/DW friends made me curious.

I appear to be coughing more today than the last two days. Not a good sign. It always takes me forever to get rid of the cough. Been making various versions of homemade chicken and zuccini noodle soup for lunch and dinner.
