przedI keep wanting to post an entry, but RL is busy, and by the end of the day I'm knackered. Every night I've basically watched an hour of Rescue Me, whatever's left of Top Gear (BBC Canada, god bless 'em, is showing it pretty much every day), then read until I pass out.
The last two days have added a new, most unwelcome twist, in that Ros came down with a wicked fever on Thursday, and it continues unabated. (She's just a bit loopy in the mornings, but then it starts spiking at 104 in the afternoons and continues through the night.) Thankfully, there are no other big symptoms, and we know she's just fighting something off, but it's still a bit worrying. Especially when the fever hits its worst and she's listless and miserable and entirely not herself. (She's told us she's tired and wants to go to bed the last two nights run. Before 8:00. That is so not my wannabe nighthawk, bedtime delaying little girl.)
She was slightly better today than yesterday. I'm hoping that trend continues and she's well and ready for daycare by Monday or Tuesday.
If I were to make a fannish post, here are the highlights:
OMG, I love Top Gear so much! Seriously. (Was cruising Top Gear sites mid-week, found out about Hammond's accident and his autobiography, and had the book ordered the next day. Friday afternoon was spent in our back garden, Ros asleep on my lap whilst I eagerly tore through the book.)
Saw the new Terminator movie. How is it possible that Christian Bale is so bloody boring in it? Fortunately, the adorableness that is Anton Yelchin was enough to keep me from beating my head against the seat in front of me. And Sam Worthington ain't so bad either. Still, it's not good.
Really, really want to see ST again. Maybe this Monday on a planned outing with a fannish friend. Assuming Ros is a bit better and I can leave the house.
Saw Up, in 3D, and it's brilliant. Funny, well-constructed, and even made me shed a tear or two.
Am this close to a final layout for the Pros novel. An it looks lovely if I do say so myself.
Hope everyone on the flist is having a less stressful weekend.

Date: 2009-06-14 01:43 am (UTC)That sounds very odd that the fever would linger for that many days. I am not recommending you overdose her, but you can alternate advil and tylenol without them counteracting each other. We had to do that once with our kids when they were very sick. It was the only thing that allowed them to rest.
I too heard Terminator sucked. I am probably going to see it tomorrow night anyhow. It was either that or Land of the Lost and I think my head might explode if I have to watch that. Don't tell me that Star Trek is going to be the best Time Travel movie out there this summer?!
I loved UP too, but I think you already knew that. I think I am going to pay the price for not ranking it higher in the Summer Movie Pool.

Date: 2009-06-14 03:11 am (UTC)Terminator has no time travel elements this time 'round, so there'll be no joy for you there. And what's wrong with ST being the best time travel flick? (I lurv that movie way beyond reason.)
I reckon I'm going to tank in the pool, as usual. I enjoyed my one week of being #2 while it lasted.
