What a horrible way to start the new year. In the early afternoon on the first I started feeling pretty crappy so I decided to go lay down in bed for a while. I ended up sleeping for most of the afternoon and woke up feeling really, really sick. After a few hours of talking myself out of puking, I decided I would probably feel better if I just got it over with. So, I headed to the bathroom to force myself to puke. But, by the time I got there, my body needed no forcing. Vomit out the nose is no fun at all! Right back to bed I went. Happy New Year.
Since I had just taken 9 days off work (counting some weekend days), I didn’t want to call in sick on the first full day back. So, I set the alarm, got up, got dressed and headed on in. I was still feeling bad, but was going to give it a try. 2 hours later I was heading back home and to the comfort of my bed. I was back in bed by 9:30 AM and didn’t leave for longer than 5 minutes all day.
I ended up watching 4 movies yesterday. They were:
SuperBad
This movie is so damn funny. I’ve already seen it about 6 or 8 times. I’m pretty sure this is one that I’ll be able to watch over and over again.
The Departed
Awesome movie and a great cast! Even though I already knew the ending (everybody gets shot in the head), I could still watch this movie several times.
Transporter 2
What a huge steaming pile of poo this movie is. To give you an example, in one scene Frank sees the reflection of a bomb stuck to the bottom of his car that he’s forced to get in and drive. While driving he sees a crane with a hook hanging on it. So of course he hits a ramp that rolls his car upside down and the hook from the crane knocks off the bomb 1/2 a second before the bomb is detonated. Oh, and the car finish the roll in mid air and lands back on all 4 tires. The only thing worse is when I found out that they are going to make a sequel to the movie Crank, another Jason Stathom movie. At the end of Crank, Stathom’s character “Chelios” falls out of a plane and hits the ground. In my mind, that equals DEAD! But, not only does Chelios obviously survive that, here’s the story outline for Crank 2: “Chelios faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.” Wow.
Lucky Number Sleven
I have owned this movie on DVD for over 6 months, but for some reason I had never opened it. This movie was so good. I really enjoyed it. Good story, great cast and the interaction between the characters is fantastic. I have to say that I pretty much liked everything about this movie. If you haven’t seen it, make sure you do!
Thankfully I made it back to work today. I don’t know that I could have handled another day in bed.
