LOATHESOME WEATHER

[wertz]

Okay, I'm not a big fan of winter at the best of times - and this sort of thing certainly doesn't help

My God, how awful...

I'm sorry to hear the news. It sounds like you got very lucky, and most unfortunate all at the same time. I'll give a call to check up on you gents in a few days (I don't want to bother while the resting and the healing takes place - soreness is a bitch). At least the Gay Super Bowl approaches. Something to restore order in the universe, right?

Please send along my "get better" wishes to Sean.

And I hope your head gets better soon!

All the best,

Ryan

P.S. "Dexter" is a hoot. So, if you need some entertainment defense against the cold...

Thanks - and I'll pass your wishes on to Sean. If we run out of Academy nominees to catch up on (The Wrestler, The Visitor, Frozen River, Rachel Getting Married, and Australia await), I have the first two seasons of Dexter on stand-by. :)

Oh, it's great fun. I've been obsessed with it. I just watched all three seasons. There are problems, and it can get tiresome with its annoyingly too frequent heterosexuality, but it really is a unique T.V. show (at least in the American sense). It would have been a great bit of Jacobean theatre, I suspect.

Your Academy watching is more ambitious than mine has been. "Australia" - YIKES!

Well, we'd got through most of the major nominees - those are the only ones left, believe it or not (if you exclude shorts, docs, and foreign language - and Bolt). Yes, we even saw Wanted (which was okay) and The Duchess (which was HORRIBLE). So, yeah, we're down to the last actorish nominees - and Australia.

I'm reasonably happy with the nominees - though In Bruges should have got a Best Picture nod (and I wouldn't have minded Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson having got a look in) and THE best supporting actor of the year was Eddie Alderson in Changeling, but Oscar doesn't like kids - and I doubt anyone could beat the dead guy, so it's kinda moot.

So sorry to hear about the accident, but glad to hear everyone is doing ok. *hugs* heal up and spring will be here soon.

Awww. Thanks.

Geez, I'm glad you guys are (relatively) alright...

A few weeks ago we got blasted with a right mother-fucker of an ice-storm. We lost power for almost a week, and had to stay with one of my aunts. Our house was mostly undamaged, but the huge tree limb that had lodged itself into the roof was finally removed last Tuesday.

Damn - that sucks. We missed the worst of the ice storms this year, but had a 60' pine tree blown down in the yard. Fortunately, it missed the house, the bridge, the phone and electrical wires, and the neighbor's garage.
