more sick

[jazzfish]

Last Satyrday uilos was feeling rather tired and spacey, so we left gaming early. By Sunday night this had progressed to more coughing than I've seen in one person in quite awhile. Naturally I picked up a low-grade version of whatever it was and spent Monday and Tuesday sounding like I had Leonard Cohen stuck in my throat. I think we're both over the worst of it now. Although I took a preventative decongestant this morning and now seem to be making more snot, so who knows.

I'm pretty sure it's not related to the flu shot this year, at least.

Last night we had dinner at La Sandia, a Mexican place in Tysons next to Barnes and Noble that's rather shockingly good for a mall restaurant. Not too expensive, not very loud, good selection and good food. I'm happy it exists and is near me. After dinner we went and saw Whip It, which is far better than any sports movie has any right to be. Then there was falling over, because being over the worst of it isn't actually being fully recovered. Oof.

I loved Whip It! It made me want to go outside and play. Also, it was wonderful to see so many typical movie stereotypes flaunted.

Flaunted overtly and covertly. There's the teen drinkin' and sexin' presented as Part Of Life (also, best movie relationship I've seen in ages), and there's also that it FAILS THE REVERSE BECHDEL TEST (well, practically; there's the two coaches talking but they're talking about the Hurl Scouts's plays, which is talking about derby, which is talking about women, and i can't remember if the other coach has a name anyway). Awesome. It made me happy in so many ways.

Mmm... La Sandia is very yummy. I dream about their corn tamals. I'm sad that we don't live as close now as we used to.

It does sound like a fun movie to watch.

It's so much better than the bad sushi place that used to be in there.

The same. . . chef? company? has a restaurant in DC called Zengo, which. . . huh, is in Chinatown, and thus close enough to the Shakespeare theatres that it could be a dinner option. *ponders*

I'm glad you are both feeling better!!!

Thanks. :) Sinuses are still troublesome but it's anyone's guess as to whether that's weather or Sick or what.
