And suddenly he was better (well almost).

Saturday night 9pm, tired but okay. Saturday night 10pm, almost comatose, praying for a quick death. 

It was as quick as that.  (not my death, silly, the onset).

I suspect it was some very mild form of septicaemia relating to the ongoing jaw/ tooth problems (having a root canal on Friday, sounds pricey!), let's just say a lot of pus vanished, and I'm pretty sure I didn't swallow it. 

So all day yesterday and most of today, I was burning up, dripping in cold sweat, my limbs like lead, and even my aches had pains. I couldn't even sit up, so I spent most of past two days listening to last.fm in bed, and dreaming strange dreams (maybe more on that later, maybe not). 

This evening, almost as quickly as it started, it's almost gone. I just feel like I've a bit of a cold but without the runny nose or sneezing. The worst part is I had to ring in sick yesterday! damn it!

I never did get back with my opinions on "Thor" did I? Well first let me say I wish I hadn't chose the 3d version, but the film itself was fun. Not bombastic, as it so easily could have been, but not lightweight and throwaway either. I'm still not sure why the Asgardians would all have English, rather than Scandinavian accents, but at least they weren't speaking in the mock Shakespearean I remember from the comics (as a kid, it was only ever 2000ad after that). Much, much better than Iron Man 2, need I say more?

Don't think it's the weather that cheered me up recently. I've always been sure that I have SAD to some degree, but last year, while I was off sick, and at my worst, it was for the summer months. Go figure. Anyway that brief period of euphoria (which I suddenly realise I didn't mention before now) is receding somewhat, almost as if I can see the storm clouds at the horizon. Let's see where that goes eh?

I try not to let loneliness get me down, but being helpless. if only for 48 hours or so, really drove it home. Still you can't have everything, where would you put it ? (thanks Stephen Wright). 

(great album!)
