Being sick is such a pain in the ass.
Whatever I’ve got responds promptly and unambiguously to antibiotics (using throat pain as an indicator), else I’d think I had mono. There is a baseline, moderate fatigue that is just damned inconvenient. It’s not hit-by-a-bus fatigue like with flu; it’s just enough to sap the spark from day-to-day living and turn everything into a chore.
At least it was a good day for DVDs. Kissology, Volume 3: 1992-2000 came, as did Blade Runner: The Ultimate Collector’s Edition (on HD-DVD):
That’s five discs of digital goodness in each package. I’m enjoying browsing the Kiss discs, but really, I can’t wait to go to bed. And hell, that’s not much of an attitude, is it?

Mr. Chili is getting the new edition of Blade Runner for Christmas – a friend of ours is picking it up for him. I hope he enjoys it.
The Kiss stuff we’d have no interest in. Sorry…
Thankee kindly, sweetness. (hugs)
I’m going to publish the Kiss post sometime between now and New Year’s. I say with no exaggeration that no bit of popular culture has meant more to me in my lifetime than Kiss.
I hope to convey that gravity without delving into excessive bathos.
