My own cocktail mix

With a cough, and a cold, and a friggin' throat infection, I am starting the new year with a big bang of my own. Fever would be served in a moment.

Now if I could get the ears to stop hurting so much, I could at least plug in my iPod while corpsing around. But no such luck; they come in a Happy Meal set.

Monet and I finally caught the National Treasure. Yes, we were some latecomers for this one, and I was even watching it after reading it on themoviespoiler. Which I was glad I did (watch it), coz the posted spoiler was rather crap. This did not usually happen, crap spoilers I mean, though I couldn't be sure since I'd only read spoilers of shows which I did not intend to watch. NT was an exception. I was desperate for junk material then. But I digress.

NT was surprisingly good. SOP: sprinkled inconsistencies, older hero, younger babe (left insert), cuter sidekicks (I do think sidekicks are getting to be more eye candy. Ryan Reynolds was, in Blade Trinity.), clumsy bad guys, plus this time, a Washington DC attractions menu disguised. Which did make me tempted to return to the DC for at least a week. But that could wait.

I'd also never watched Nicholas Cage smiled so much onscreen. Must be that Troy babe larh. Guys.
