Max has a stomach bug or something

He threw up everything four times today. I thought he had gotten a bit better after he came with me to our faculty’s new year dinner and he chowed on steamed fish, but he threw it all up again after we came home. Oops. Had to strip sheets off of two king size beds and start drying mattresses with fans.
We keep making him rehydrate, but dehydration is a fear since he throws up so much; we’ll take him to the clinic tomorrow.
Mina is being no more or less cooperative than can be expected of a soft, pink, newborn potato lump.

The preview of the sequel to the best movie review, ever


I wish this news had come out before George Lucas was on the Daily Show last week because it might made his weak argument that the target audiences of the first three and last three movies are different, so it’s OK that the last three he made sucked a little easier to swallow. Let’s put this in perspective: The sequel to the review ripping the shit out of the movie is going to be more hotly anticipated by the original fans than the sequel itself was (the fans had seen the first one by then and knew it was all a sad downhill slide after the appearance of, say, Ewoks).
BTW, the creator was interviewed by heeb magazine a couple weeks ago.

Yesterday I got food poisoning for the first time in a couple years; it was probably a bad spot of ground pork or chicken I had for breakfast. I started feeling queasy in the late morning and had Nam pick me up after she picked up Max from a half-day at nursery school (we’re sharing the Cefiro until Nam stats working again in a couple weeks because the insurance ran out on my Crown and I figured I could hold off on re-insuring until we really need two cars again – this whole week she’s been dropping me off at school, dropping Max off at preschool, and I’ve been walking home). Luckily, Nam and Max didn’t get sick.
Some other crazy things happened yesterday in my fever state; I’ll get around to describing them later. In the meantime, I’m not nauseous today, but I can’t stray far from the bathroom.
