This Is a Day Off . . ?

[collisionwork]

Today, B & I have pretty much nothing to do. This is her first day off in weeks and weeks, and she's spending most of it passed out and recovering from illness. I am spending it awake, and in the middle of illness. And sending out lots and lots of casting emails. 30 so far. Waiting to hear back from the "first wave" before I move on to the second, if I need to.

Yesterday, I ran lights for 3800 Elizabeth. Here's what I needed by the light board to get me through it:

(that's tea in the cup)

So, made it through that, feeling only a bit feverish and uncomfortable by the end. As long as I keep up with the Advil and Robitussin, I seem to hold the worst of the symptoms at bay.

Maybe I can find some good and inspirational movies to watch. In the meantime, here's a couple of Star Wars-geeky videos that have come up by chance today in various surfs around.

First, what if Star Wars had been made a couple decades earlier, with titles by Saul Bass?

And here, a familiar-looking Jedi celebration . . .

Enjoy.

Something called "Buckley's Mixture" is actually pretty damn good for coughs.

It tastes awful -- kind of like someone melted down a Vick's and then liquefied a mothball and mixed it in, and then used the resulting liquid to brew tea made of discarded Christmas trees. But it works very well.

That Saul Bass tribute was wonderful.

Ian,

For what it's worth I always do the "vampire-get-thee-hence" mixture of booze (rum or whiskey) tea, honey, lemon and an entire clove of chopped garlic. Hard to get down, but two mugs and you're feeling better.
