Oh wow, seriously, TGIF
Been a very wound-up week and now I’m paying; I’ve been almost paralyzed on the couch and/or bed since I got home around 4:30pm yesterday. What is it with me getting sick so much? I eat healthfully, take vitamins, even exercise. I swear it’s the stagnant air in my office. Thank God that it’s getting warm out - 68 today!
So I’ve just been laying here trying not to move my eyes (yes, it hurts to move my eyeballs) and watching episodes of Gilmore Girls one after the other, though my brain is addled enough that I’m having difficulty keeping up. I’ve tried tea AND soup at this point. I think I’ll try a hot shower next. Mmmm.
Also, we went to see a Fassbinder film on Wednesday night (who knew? my corporate membership gets us into MoMA films for free) and dude, I have an exceptionally high tolerance for long, dull foreign movies, but this was the pits. Never again. My one consolation is I think Tom actually hated it worse than I did. Why aren’t there more Kieslowskis out there?
I want summer.

Today in KC it got up to 80 plus degrees!! I love summer weather! Shorts, flip-flops, outdoor fun! Yeah! How are you and Tom doing? I hope you start to feel a better soon.
Blessings,

Hey, it’s Annie from the Village Church. Which Fassbinder did you see? If it was Berlin Alexanderplatz, that’s probably not the best place to start with him. He can be inaccessible, but also incredibly rewarding. I’d recommend Ali: Fear Eats the Soul or The Marriage of Maria Braun as a good intro to his work.

It was Merchant for All Seasons. We have heard that we should try a few others . . . probably will, at some point. :)
