Sick Day's strange climax

[albadger]

My co-workers yesterday were recommending that I take today off (or, in their words, "ew, stop coughing on us!"), so I did, and did I ever need it! I also needed DelSym, which I picked up at a CVS pharmacy last night. Got some good rest, but also got Cabin Fever, so I took myself in the car to get some Hot'n'Sour Soup. Being a man of limited culinary imagination, I went to a Panda Express for this.

This had some fun attached, partly in the fortune cookie that assured me A PHOTO DOESN'T CAPTURE YOUR CHARM, and I'm all, well, duh... but when I got back to my car, a couple were trying to get their two dogs to settle down in their pickup truck. The woman of the couple (yes, one of those couples) noticed me and, in mock outrage, said, "Where you taking my car, Mister Richard Dreyfuss?" By this she meant

1. She liked my car and wished she had one, and
2. She thought I looked like Richard Dreyfuss, the man who won the Best Actor Oscar that should have gone to Richard Burton, and
3. She had no respect for my emotional boundaries.

When I learned that her 50-pound pit bull was in heat, and it was all they could handle to keep their 10-pound male pug from going berzerk, and the pit bull had pink eye... well, you have to cut people slack when they're going through something like that.

Now I'm back home, and it's still 4 hours and 40 minutes until Lost. I can't think what I'll do with myself. Sleep?

That was a strange encounter that you'd described.

Actually, it read more like a scene from a movie.

A very strange movie... LoL!

Hope you're feeling better soon.

I think you ought to set the alarm, and sleep until LOST
comes on.

Please do take care of yourself.

Thanks, dude! I didn't put in the post that I tried to play along with the lady's joke, and told her I was taking the car to the detailer for her. She laughed and said, "Make sure they get that one dent..." and I thought, there isn't a new one since you parked next to me, is there?

But I have to respect her, since she thought I looked like a movie star I would totally make out with.

I don't see the resemblence, but you are a very attractive man. :)

Well, thanks!

I would have chosen sleep over seeing LOST, but that's just me. Get well soon! HUGS

But, dude, tonight's episode was amazing! Island Locke reveals the cave to Sawyer, and you won't believe who Alternate Timeline Locke runs into! Plus Katey Sagal! You love Katey Sagal, don't you? DON'T YOU?!?

Hmmm... maybe sleep does make sense...

*hugs* stay healthy!

People who love Katey Sagal don't let her do, "Lost"!


........ actually, I TRIED to get into Lost..... it didn't click with me.

Funny, that’s precisely what I said about Married With Children. She redeemed herself big time with Futurama, though. O Leela, how we love thee.

It wasn't until it went into reruns, that I clicked with, "M,WC".... I went to school with David Garrison, which had something to do with it, (and there's even an amusing anecdote I'm saving, in case we ever appear together on a talk-show!) and I find myself attracted to Ed O'Neil... something about the vulgarity, I think...

and I REALLY miss Futurama!
