Mum: So, a 1952 movie called "The Importance of Being Earnest" is on.
Sam: Oh! Cool, maybe I'll watch it.
Mum: The one with Colin Firth, that's a remake of this one, then?
Sam: Uh, well. Um? They're...both remakes of the play? From 1895?
Mum, she's very smart, she does scary math in her head, but she's not so much with the Great Literature. I was very pleased to be able to give the precise year for the play, too. I retain the strangest things.
Yes, I am posting at a rather odd time. I should be at work right now, bored out of my head. But I can't actually remember the last time I was in as much pain from a headache as the one I had at 4:30 this afternoon, so I called in sick (oh man Longhorn's gonna kill me) and took a three hour nap. The pain has subsided, but I took some ultracet, which could be helping. Seriously. I have had bad headaches, but never to the point where after two painkillers I still had trouble sleeping because it hurt to close my eyes. The dragon that lives in my head decided to stretch his wings for a bit.
Mum has suggested that I spend tomorrow not reading (awww, Muuuuuuum! *whine*) or spending much time on the computer, so I'll be a bit absentee tomorrow. I have some commitments to people, and I'll try to fulfill those, but I may be a day late. I am very sorry.
If I feel all right later tonight, however, the caps and icons will still go up. We'll see.
