A big sign on the front door said that if I was experiencing any of the following symptoms: severe cough, fever, body aches, etc., that I would have to alert the front desk IMMEDIATELY. I was experiencing all of these in spades, so I let the nice lady at the front desk with the mustache know that yes, I was sick, and indeed, I had these symptoms -- right away the office went into full alert. They sent me to my own corner of the waiting room and told me that I NEEDED to put on a mask so as not to infect the other sick people with my sickiness. I've had never been instructed to put on a mask in a doctor's office before, but I guess with all the swine flu fallout of the past year this is the only way they can think of to keep sick people from spitting in each other's eyes. I would hate to be responsible for igniting a worldwide epidemic, and I'm sure without the masks there would be a sever spike of sick people spitting on healthy people and turning everyone into coughing, feverish, achy drones who crave Tamiflu and popsicles. I'm just glad that my doctor is doing everything they can to help stall the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
The bright side of all this sickness? I've watched a lot of movies in the past week. Some of them have been great. Others have been not so great. When you're as sick as I've been, your ability to discriminate between quality cinema and pure pap is somewhat diminished, and since contact to the outside world has been at a standstill, I've watched them all. Here's the list so far:
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
Persepolis
Max Payne
Signs
17 Again
Temple Grandin
Ghost Town
You Don't Mess With The Zohan
The Squid and the Whale
Cop Land
The Net
It's all good.
UPDATE FROM THE WEEKEND!!!
Coraline
Frost/Nixon
My Cousin Vinny
Yes Man
Role Models
Lakeview Terrace
The Taking of Pelham 123

I mean, technically, you need to list Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey two or three times, right?
