Well, I guess my cold is getting better but the all-day headache that was brought on by the weather makes it sort of hard to say. Everything's kinda "shimmery" right now. Plus column: my back's way better. But I really feel like my head is about to come shooting off on a streamer of light.

Jim Broadbent! What is that guy's deal. He is in all the fantasy franchises. He's in Narnia, he's about to be in Harry Potter, he's in His Dark Materials and Indiana Jones, and he's the guy standing on Denethor's immediate left when old Denny jumps off the prow of Minas Tirith. True story. And he was Gamorrean guard #3 in Return of the Jedi and Moses Friend #1 in The Ten Commandments and also one time, he played Buddha. Who is his agent? I would like to meet such an agent, who seemingly does the impossible.

I haven't played the Wii in a really long time. I like to limit my Wii usage to really sporadic, but really intense sorties. Like a few weeks ago, I played for about 48 hours straight. Many shuvs and zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you. And maybe it's the October weather - which is just lovely, isn't it? I must be the only human alive who likes this sort of endless melancholic drizzle - but I am really in the mood for some zombie wastage. It's probably best I didn't attend the zombie walk on the weekend; there's no telling what I woulda done.

The problem is that usually when I want to go to something that involves getting dressed up in costume, dousing oneself with blood and/or rum, and acting outrageously, most of my friends go "sigh" not "yay." So I skipped the zombie walk. I'm really only disappointed with myself.

Man. This headache ain't gettin' better from sitting here writing about it. I need a shower and a cold dark room.
