Hot as F#*%
I just came back from a workout at the gym, which was surprisingly more comfortable than this office, whose air conditioning system ran out of freon today, so now it's like summer with a blackout in here. (I would've used a sauna analogy but I've never been in one.)
As downloaded movies go I finished O Brother Where Art Thou last Saturday and Monty Python & the Quest for The Holy Grail this morning. Both were okay, but as for the latter in hindsight I'm glad I didn't win that Ebay auction for the DVD a month ago. As much as I like parodies for the most part jokes where they break the 4th wall don't work for me. Stick for ironies, double entendres (did I spell that right?) and sight gags but keep away from "Look, it's the narrator for the movie!" or "Hey that wasn't in the script" kind of dialogue. And as far as British humor goes they like a milk a single gag for all it's worth, thus dragging the joke longer than it should at times. It's almost as if the writers of Filipino sitcoms honed their "craft" by watching British comedies.
Finally I've been experiencing this dull ache in the part of my abdomen where my appendix should be. Been there since last Friday. Ruled out cramps from sit-up excercises. Hope it's not appendicitis. Besides, I haven't had the usual symptoms, like fever and nausea. Am now waiting for both, as well as loss of appetite and abdominal swelling. Do have constipation and cramps. Uh oh....
