Got back in bed for thirty minutes. Then I got up and a wave of nausea hit me so hard I thought I was going to vomit on the ground. I got to the bathroom quickly, but only was able to, I think they call it dry heave. And that's where we are thus far. Not good. I may have my friend go to the art fair alone, and I may go get some Tums (smut, spelled backwards).

Bruce, hope you feel better. It could have been what you ate, which is digested & why you only dry heaved. I don't know why Tums would help this, but then Tums never agree with me.

Sherlock is such a smart boy. Before I got up this morning he set up his own email account & sent me a cute Mother's Day card. In the card he said he would clean all the dishes today

Yeah, I'm thinking Tums would be stupid. I'll just have to ride it out, I guess. My equilibrium is off and I just feel rather dreadful. Hopefully it will pass quickly.

Sounds to me like you caught something on the plane.

I don't think it was from the plane - I think it was from dinner last night.

Blechhh.

And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

BK: Ice water. Even if you can't stand the thought of drinking it, drink it. Cold water can only help you. Lack of it can only hurt.

I agree. It sounds like the same thing I had awhile back. I was lucky I heaved during the night & then slept & was better by morning-not great, just better.

Jane · « **Reply #70 on:** May 09, 2010, 11:14:07 AM »

Noel, interesting about ice vs regular water. I'll have to remember that as regular makes me feel worse.

bk · « **Reply #71 on:** May 09, 2010, 11:15:16 AM »

I'll try some cold water now.

bk · « **Reply #72 on:** May 09, 2010, 12:06:34 PM »

My friend was here and just left for the art fair. I'm really not feeling well - been drinking cold water but it isn't really helping anything.

Vibes for BK. ~~~~~~~~~~

I don't know that tums would help. To me that is only for an upset stomach.

Jennifer · « **Reply #74 on:** May 09, 2010, 12:15:40 PM »

I still also have this week's AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL to watch.

Although my nieces are still here (baby is sleeping and the other one is playing dollhouse).

Jennifer · « **Reply #75 on:** May 09, 2010, 12:16:47 PM »

I forget if i asked this, but has anybody here ever seen CALIFORNICATION? Is it any good? Does it sound like something i might like?

I recorded the first few episodes (it just started here). But i haven't watched it yet. Not even sure if it is my cup of tea.

Jennifer · « **Reply #76 on:** May 09, 2010, 12:18:19 PM »

DR Jane i watched the MILLENIUM 2 movie last night. It is very graphic (as was the first one). This is my least favorite part about the movies, although it's probably necessary.

I don't know where they found these swedish actors. But i have never seen more people would huge pores, pock marks on their skin and just the wost skin i've ever seen on film.

But at least now i will remember everything clearly before book 3 comes out.

Still catching up on sleep. Slept until 2 and discovered someone had hacked into my e-mail. Ugh.

bk · « **Reply #79 on:** May 09, 2010, 12:56:29 PM »

I've been lying on the couch like so much fish, which is helpful - watching a bad movie and dozing on and off.

Mother's Day greetings! We had an uneventful trip to Lima today and are glad to be home.

BK - I hope you feel better soon!

I had some nice viewing experiences this afternoon. I began with watching the last of the Tommy and Tuppence mysteries from the first colume of PARTNERS IN CRIME. An easy mystery to solve, as are all of the T&T adventures, it was nice to see it again. I don't think I have seen these programs since their first telecast on PBS back in the early 1980s.

Matt H. · « **Reply #83 on:** May 09, 2010, 01:06:24 PM »

I saw the pilot episode of CALIFORNICATION. I couldn't stand it and have never watched another one. I have no idea if you would like it or not, DR Jennifer.

Matt H. · « **Reply #84 on:** May 09, 2010, 01:07:29 PM »

As I ate lunch, I watched last night's rebroadcast of NCIS' second episode of the season where Ziva is allowed to rejoin the unit. A good episode. I particularly liked Abby's tough love.

Matt H. · « **Reply #85 on:** May 09, 2010, 01:09:21 PM »

Then I watched the blu-ray of STAGECOACH. The good parts look really good though, of course, the higher definition makes the rear projection all the more noticeable; it also makes the scratches and artifacts stand out, too. Criterion doesn't windowbox their Blu-rays like they do Academy ratio DVDs, so that was nice.

The PCM uncompressed sound is a trifle less hissy but only a trifle.

Matt H. · « **Reply #86 on:** May 09, 2010, 01:11:21 PM »

I started where I left off with the commentary and listened to the rest of it. Really quite interesting reads on the film from a variety of commentators over the years, all acknowledged by Kitses. He also quotes all of the nsalaries earned by the major cast members. All those fees probably sounded grand to the folks of 1939 just coming out of the Depression, but they sound very small now.

Matt H. · « **Reply #87 on:** May 09, 2010, 01:12:49 PM »

All of the bonus featurettes were in HD, either 1080i or 1080p. This has become pretty much the standard for Criterion's Blu-rays now.

Matt H. · « **Reply #88 on:** May 09, 2010, 01:13:56 PM »

Didn't have enough time to watch a TV show or movie, so I put in the Olympics and watched Mao Asada's silver medal-winning performance as well as Rachael Flatt's wonderful skate which got criminally undervalued.

Hello, everyone.

Happy Mother's Day to Everyone! There! Have a nice day in any case.
