Day 8 - Slackitude! it's what's for dinner

[fredericks]

My day at the Philadelphia Zoo. I still have that damn monkey door hanger. His tat is hawt.

Needless to say, I slacked on pics today and had to go to the archive to grab something to post. But I had a valid excuse! I felt like I was at death's door up to 45 minutes ago. I woke up with a slight headache that didn't go away during the course of the day, intensifying in spikes at random times, and then started feeling left lower quadrant abdominal pain right around noon that only decided to leave me alone a little while ago. I spent the ride home in a good bit of pain, and ended up curled up in my bed during most of the evening. Such a waste of a good day too! I ended up seeing patients and so putted around the Washington Square area for a couple of hours (a great place to snap pics if one doesn't feel like bending over in agony) before having to head back to the office. I wish whatever illnesses that have decided to flirt with me (the sinus/throat irritation + abdominal discomfort? FAIL) either manifest completely or move on to greener pastures.

Still making my way through The Year of Living Biblically. I don't know why I stopped reading it when I'd initially picked it up last year, because I'm finding the read very enjoyable. It's not a how-to for religion, but an interesting look at some Judeo-Christian though and what faith means to others. I'm about halfway through at the moment. Good times.

It's wrong that I'm sorta hyped about the remake of Clash of the Titans, right? It's going to be cheesy. It's going to have lots of "crash! boom! explode-y!" Maybe sexual situations for no reason. But, hey, Iron Man 2 is still so far away.

Under the wire! I winz internet!

I just finished that book! Very amusing. The author also shows how Biblical literalists are as selective as more moderate/ liberal denominations. (No surprise.)

Nothing wrong with Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes as GODS.

Which I enjoyed reading. I really do like this book.

And I know Clash has those awesome actors in it, but there's so much CHEESE potential, you know? And that makes it that much more potentially painful.

I'm just worried it won't be cheesy enough compared to the original. I mean, frickin' Ray Harryhausen - how do you top that?

I am looking forward to Clash of the Titans.

*grin* I am too, more and more. It's weird.

I know the original Clash is famous for being bad, but for some reason I cannot wait to see this one in 3-D. I mean, it's not pretending to be anything other than a cheesy CGI-fest.

If they keep the claymation/ stop animation monsters as a shout out in at least once scene I'd be totally sold.
