I feel totally validated because I went to the doc today and turns out I don't have a 'flu-like cold' but The Flu, period. Meaning I had - and still have - good reasons to feel like crap. I'm off work till Wednesday so I'll just rest and rest some more. And try not to cough up my lungs in the meantime.

Right this minute, I'm waiting for Cookie to get home from work, while my Alphabet soup is boiling - in case you think I'm mean, she already ate so that's why I'm talking about 'my' soup... but I'll share with her if she's still hungry, promise!

Alphabet soup is my comfort food when I'm sick. That and vermicelli soup. It always reminds me of being a kid and being sick and having my mom "cook" it for me. I think it's the kind of tradition that needs to live on :-)

The program for tonight is some Xmas film. I know, Christmas is behind us but I received my latest order from Amazon and it was all about Christmas: The Muppet Christmas Carol because I've been wanting it for ages, It's a Wonderful Life because I haven't seen it in a long time and... Christmas Cottage because Jared! And Richard Burgi too. And because I'll buy anything if if has any of the Js in it, it's that simple. Easy, thy name is Mousey \o/

And speaking of tv related things. I've watched the pilot of Leverage in between a gazillion bouts of sleeping and dozing off and napping, but I'm afraid I got bored. The plot is pretty lame so I was trying to find a character to get interested in but it didn't happen. It might be the kind of show I need to try a second time before getting into it. I'll see if I care enough to remember to give it another go :-)

Oh and the snow has melted in Choisy today. It lasted a whole week but it had to go one day, I guess. Adieu snow, adieu white city, it was fantastic having you *kisses*

Sounds like you guys have got the same thing that's going round here... and it's really really nasty. Hope you feel a million times better soon. Ooh - and I can hug you 'cos I've already had it! ::glomps::

[castalie.livejournal.com]

There's a huge flu epidemic at the moment in France, so I guess I had to have it at one point *pout*

Thanks for the comment :-) And the hug *glomps back*

[enigel]

Eek, e-hugs! Get some rest, get well! :*

And hee, I have a fondness for alphabet soup too, though in my case it's because it relates with something fannish. *g* (The guy in the icon is Agent Z. All his colleagues have letters as their codenames. :D)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Seeing that I'm answering this comment after five days, I can finally say that I do feel much better, so thanks :-)

Lol Fannish associations always make food - or everything else, really - better, so I get that you would have a fondness for it :-)

First off, get better soon hon! But enjoy your time off from work. :)

Second, LOVE The Muppet Christmas Carol. That's always been one of my favorites since I was a kid. My mom has it on VHS; I should consider upgrading it to a DVD. And into my Christmas collection. ;)

And third, I finished watching all of Merlin a week or so ago. AWESOME! Thanks for the push to get around to it. So worth it!

P.S. Did the card I sent ever arrive?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

1. Thanks, after a whole week, I finally feel better :-)

2. I absolutely loved The Muppet Christmas Carol! I mean, I love that novel in the first place but I really loved the way it was done. Definitely one of my favourite Christmas film now *nods*

Hee so happy you liked Merlin! You're very welcome, of course :-)

And omg! I hadn't really checked my mailbox the past week - parcels are always sent to my parents' because my mailbox is quite small - but I finally did it and yes, yes, it arrived! Thank you *kisses*

*hugs you gently and feeds you more soup*

I hope you feel better soon!

And yeah, Leverage is...not exactly quality TV, but it does have Christian Kane and I like Parker rather a lot, so I'm quite happy watching it (though last week's ep made me *facepalm* more that a little).

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It took some time but I finally feel better, thanks :-)

I'm afraid even Christian Kane isn't enough... I just couldn't find a character to root for *pout* Also, and on a Very Shallow Note, I hate Chris Kane's haircut omg! That didn't help either lol

So sorry you are sick. :( My comfort food is Campbell's chicken noodle.

Did you hear that Richard Burgi will appear on Nip/Tuck this season? Apparently the description for the actor requires nudity and comfort with racey scenes. I will return to Nip/Tuck for one more episode.

Try Leverage again. I was not overly impressed with the pilot either. It was too busy and not near as clever as it thought it was. The plots are never terribly clever, but the characters grow on you. There is an episode where we learn that Nate (Tim Hutton's character) was in seminary school and his best friend (a priest played by D.B. Sweeney) is in need of their help. Confession is so HOT! The actress lady from the Brit series Coupling is great! There is an SPN connection. The computer tech guy Harrdick was the soldier who stabbed Sam in the back. He is great on Leverage though. Most are going crazy for Chris. I enjoy it. I wish the bad guys weren't so bad and the plots had a bit more depth, but it is something that I am watching now. I think it will improve.

Hey no I didn't know RB was going to guest star in Nip/Tuck. And the description sounds quite interesting!

I might give it another go but I usually find a character to like right away, so the fact that I didn't doesn't bode well *pout*

And, yes, I was like 'it's Jake'! Just love it when shows collide :-)

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

First: Leverage. All the episodes have pretty much the same kind of plot, so maybe you shouldn't bother...

Second: The Flu, then? Well, that explains a lot *pets* poor Mouse... enjoy your soup, then...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Well, if I give it another go, it certainly won't be for the plot, that's for sure... but if I found a character to root for maybe?

The alphabet soup is such a classic, it always makes me feel better when I eat it :-)

[krazykipper.livejournal.com]

Aww...*squishes* Feel better soon!!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Poor you *pets*

I hope you're resting up today.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I did rest a lot during my days off work. Not that I had any choice as I was so tired that I pretty much slept all afternoon on Tuesday! I thought there was something wrong with my alarm clock when I woke up lol

[turlough]

Urk! Having the flu sucks!! Take care of yourself and I hope you'll start getting better soon.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Having the flu really does suck, I second that! I'm finally feeling better now, though, so yay!

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Oh, hun, take it easy okay? If it's anything like the flu my parents had, it's going to take a good two weeks to get over *sends get well vibes*! I hope Cookie manages to avoid it so that she can continue her 'nursing Mouse better' duties *g*!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'd forgotten how tiring the flu was, it's been more than a week and I'm just starting to feel better. Apparently your parents got a really nasty case of it, poor them.

So far Cookie has managed to avoid the bug so let's hope she'll stay in good health. I think I'd feel a little guilty if she got sick!
