And, don't you know, this bronchitis or sinus infection or influenza or consumption and heartache or what ever it chooses to be - being sick always gets me maudlin, so I assume it's an omen, and the bad autumn that began like this will be followed by a worse spring that begins like this. Ask me again once I'm well and perky and the weather is warmer.

... for some unknown reason I watched Episode II, of the Prequels of Doom, and cannot remember the last time I would have found a movie so genuinely painful as that one.

Brilliant.
