Monday. Still stranded at home. My right ear still out of service, my coughing deeply annoying me. But, alive… Seems it’s gonna keep on raining… Cannot stay awake long enough… And I am damn hungry. Tomorrow should be payday, so I can straighten bills and make everything fine. Joe left this morning, hopefully has already arrived safe and sound to whatever his destiny was.

Yesterday, the crew spent the whole afternoon watching movies:
National Treasure… I liked it. But then again, I was under medicines effect…
Shanghai Triad… Why,why,why? Long, so long! For that! Sniff, sniff… I almost fall asleep if not uncontious…
House of Daggers… Liked it very, very much. The bamboo sequences were really anime-like, and that was cool! The battles were beautifully choreographed.
Purple Butterfly… War-intrigue-Japanese invasion… Political, guerrilla… In the middle of the who’s who drama it was better than Shangai, but… Too long, that’s all… too damn long.

Thank God I was already in bed, because I was completely drowsy and in ether mode the whole evening. Nevertheless, thanks to Joe and LightShadow and Groundel the whole dy went away fast. They were thoughtful enough to get movies and watch them in my house instead of following the original plan of going to the movies. Not to mention that the night before, it was LightShadow & Joe who went to get my medicines and food. It’s the little things that counts. Thanks guys! You are really true friends!

Today, called work so they don’t think I abandoned them… and came here to feel a bit human while writing… Thanks to Sara for bringing the med recipe to my house, and thanks to Carlos for listening to my garbage and easing this sick days with some laughs.

Gotta go back to the shadows were I belong…
