Being sick has it's benefits, and non-benefits.

One benefit being, wholly crap I watched a lot of movies while resting in bed this week:

1) Becoming Jane - I need to lay off the romantic movies because no guy will grab you and kiss you with such passion as the guy in this movie.

2) Electra - What a horrible movie. No one would fight in a red suit like that.

3) Robin Hood, Men in Tights - I re-watched this classic and love the random ways it is randomly funny.

4) The Assassination of Jesse James and something about a coward - The title says it all - long and boring. I admit I only watched this movie to see if I can guess where in Alberta the scenes were shot... after failing to do so, I proceeded to watch the "Legend of the Falls 2" movie... or the sequel of that fly fishing movie... that's what the narration reminded me of, that and Mr. BP.

5) Across the Universe - if only life were as beautiful, coulourful, musical as this movie. Sadly the only way to reach this state of being is taking drugs. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the ones I were on this week were not of that medicinal value.

Honourable mention - I was going to revisit Beauty and the Beast after watching the musical but I could not get my VCR to work (as it is not usually plugged in anymore). But, I have to say, love it as much as ever!

Now the non-benefit of being sick is of course being sick. Doing chores and having the wind knocked out of you comes to mind... Feeling sleepy while grocery shopping... wanting to go to bed but cannot as parents are out of town and I need to get stuff done... like feed myself.
