The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly…

Which do you want first? Well, the ugly is that I came down sick on Friday night…looks like just the standard sore throat and head cold though, so I hit it with all the vitamin C and fruit and Listerine I could throw at it and it seems to be working. Interesting to keep an eye on those nutritional charts on foods – two glasses of orange juice gave me 240% of daily recommended vitamin C input. Plus the 20% from the apple sauce and the 40% from the pineapple and peach fruit cups. I’m guessing fresh fruit would be better, but this’ll have to do. I just don’t feel like peeling a pineapple :) The bad is that this bug hit me with a mere 18 hours to go for me to finally see the movie I’d been waiting all year for – X3. So, more careful dodging of commercials, reviews, and spoilers is required as I wait it out to finally be able to see the flick that broke the record for a $107 million 3 day haul. Oh well, there’s always the DVD in November :( I can however, appreciate the irony that if I had gone on opening weekend, I probably would've got sick anyway from being in a crowed theatre with recycled air and no immune system. Like when I went to see Sin City on opening weekend. Maybe if I do finally go to see it, it'll be in an empty theatre which will be better anyway... The GOOD is that my fave NHL team – the Edmonton Oilers – won last night to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1990!!! Who saw that coming?! They’re the last Canadian team in the playoffs and they’ve got a shot at the cup. I just hope they don’t run out of gas like Calgary did 2 years ago. I would really, really hate it to see the Cup wind up in either Buffalo or Carolina. The other good news about this is that by reaching all 4 rounds, the Oilers will have made more money this year so they should be in good shape to upgrade the team and resign free agents in the summer. That’ll be a switch… Anyway, time for more orange juice and some Sunday afternoon baseball…
