Surprisingly Good . . .

Well, it seems my ears were itching for a reason, I do indeed have an infection; I also got up late yet again on a Sunday Breakfast Out Day. Still, in all this heat, I'm sure I can get to bed by 10.

This is like the ear infection from last October, which I'm starting to suspect is somehow more permanent than I'd hope. Ear infections are such a bother because of how they interconnect with the rest of the head; by nerve it's connected to the brain, leading to headaches and lapsed judgment; by sinus passages it's connected to the eyes, nose, and throat, leading to overall discomfort; by bone it's connected to the jaw, leading to pain in the mouth and teeth, quite unpleasant when eating. Depending on how I am tomorrow, I'll see about making a visit to the clinic. I really don't have time for this . . .

On a lighter note, here's a bit of dumb fun . . .:

Ironed (Man) Out . . .

Well, as far as movie days go, it had been a while, and it showed; I found out the Quizno's I planned to get "dinner" from had closed down; the price for a matinee has gone up to $11.50/Adult; and the AMC 16 are undergoing some kind of renovation (again).

As for the movie itself, Iron Man lived up to a lot of the hype. Alas, as much as my nerdy self wants to say that I loved it, I have to settle for "like." Yes, there were some great moments, and Robert Downey Jr. shined as Tony Stark, but . . . well, I don't know, it just didn't go the extra mile for me. Of course, I have to mention something pretty huge is revealed towards the end (after the credits, in fact), but I'm not the spoilering kind, so . . .

Oh, and I managed to make it about an hour and a half past Ideal Time; this while cutting this morning's shower; I should really try to avoid that, cleanliness being next to godliness and all. Seriously, I hate being dirty.

'Til next time . . .
