Mood: Sick and not loving it...
I woke up this morning at 12:30 a.m. with the worst sore throat I've ever had. I'd been fighting off some bastard, mutant virus for about 5-6 days but it got me. The pain was excrutiating and I was really concerned because the pain was spreading to my inner ears and I could barely
swallow; so I spent the next 4 1/2 hours doing things that would kick the virus in the butt: Yogurt, juice, Vit C, tea, water, salt water. While nursing myself, I decided to watch some TV and happened upon "Johnny O'Clock" - a film from 1947 I'd never seen before. It stars one of my favs, Dick Powell and the Time Warner Guide rated it 3 1/2 stars out of 4. Rightly so! A beautiful drama/murder mystery in glorious black and white - what a treaure - how had I missed this one in all my years of TV watching?
Cast & Crew:
Dick Powell, Evelyn Keyes, Lee J. Cobb, Ellen Drew, Nina Foch directed by Robert Rossen
Genre: Dramas, Crime/Conspiracy, Film Noir
Besides being sick as a dog yesterday I also discovered another spider bite, this time on my left temple; and, we've had a cricket invasion - man, those insects are loud! I hope Hubby does something about the eco-friendliness of our house soon.
It was good to talk with my cousin this morning - I miss her alot, but don't know when I'll see her next. I'm still hoping to go to Hawaii with her in September if all goes well.
Love and peace. Mik
