FINALLY feeling better (or at least "less sick"). My aches have calmed down somewhat. Still a bit rumbly and have to be carefu, but am hopefully out of the proverbial woods.
I finally got to see the documentary King Of Kong (on DVD because no theatres in NJ would show it last summer). Excellent movie. Tight very funny and somewhat intense, it is about, of all things, the Donkey Kong world record. It was very fascinating. Real characters, some you root for, some you hiss at, some you just sorta havfta laugh at (not with). I highly recommend it to anybody who likes a good movie, a good documentary, or has a thing for Old School video games. I fall into all three categories. This movie was sorta aimed directly at me. I hope they don't end up making a shitty fictionalized version with, like, Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell in a coupla years.
I wish it wasn't only Tuesday. This week has a real potential to be a drag.
