Somebody call Lunch Rescue
Last night, for no clear reason, my energy levels just evaporated. I had plenty of food, caffeine, and good company… but suddenly I just wanted to lie there, watch TV, and then go to bed. This morning was the same… I had to drag myself from bed to shower to desk. I only now feel like my head is clearing and my body is beginning to function again.
The main fallout from this is that my lunch for today is still sitting at home, neatly packed on top of the kitchen pantry.
D’oh.
I did get to watch our recorded copy of Thunderbirds over the holidays. Frankly, I expected it to be remarkably lame, but it wasn’t bad. There were some minor issues, but the production design was great – when the kids were climbing over the auxiliary craft, the vehicles all looked like Gerry Anderson models blown up to life-size – and the actress playing Lady Penelope understood that she was supposed to have fun with the role. I’d pick up the DVD eventually, even if the hardware didn’t get enough screen time.
Maybe the cosmic vampires are on the loose. I haven’t been able to get it together for the last day or so either.
Thunderbirds wasn’t great, but I’ve certainly seen worse. It was at least fun, and, when you get right down to it, in character for Alan based on the original series (where he always bemoaned being the youngest). I thought the designs did a nice job of updating the series to modern sensibilities while keeping the original “feel”.
And of course, I really hope the father of the girl who played Tin-Tin has a lot of very large caliber ammo. He’s going to need it.
BTW- The first thirteen episodes of the New Captain Scarlet have been released in England on DVD. Hopefully they’ll make it to this side of the pond soon.
I wonder if it would be possible to start a business that runs to people’s homes to pick up glasses, keys, lunches, etc.
Probably not. I certainly wouldn’t want a total stranger looking around for stuff in my house.
