I have a cold so I called in sick to work and spent the day dozing, reading, coughing, and blowing my nose. I feel like if I could find the right soup it would fix me but (a) that is probably not really true and (b) I would have to put on clothes and deal with people to acquire any soup (finished what I had in the pantry this afternoon) and so far that has been too much in the way of obstacles.

Also, I remember how much I hated the twinkly eye Michael Douglas poster for Wonder Boys, but when I actually watched it I really enjoyed that movie.

Michael Douglas usually gives me the screaming fantods, but what I remember about Wonder Boys is the absolutely criminal underuse of Katie Holmes, who managed to steal a scene with just one line: "Grady, have you edited this /at all/?" The chemistry between Tobey MacGuire and RDJ at the end was cute, but pretty much nothing else about the movie stuck in my memory, even though it was filmed in Pittsburgh not far from where I once lived.
