Sick-y, Gambit, and a Retrospective

I am not going to get sick. I am not going to get sick. Yesterday morning I felt the beginnings of a sore throat--just the faint sensation of my lungs not working at full capacity. I ingested copious amounts of orange juice and Emergen-C. I had healthy vegetable soup for dinner. All the things you're supposed to do to make your body happy. This morning it was worse, and the sinus drainage had begun. Have I mentioned how much I hate having a sore throat? I hate it almost as much as I hated that dreadful movie I'm Not There. I added a decongestant/expectorant to my I-refuse-to-get-sick arsenal this morning. I won't even go into my tales of the drug store adventures this morning. I have never heard hacking, grunting, snuffling, and groaning quite like the sounds coming from the woman who insisted on following me around the store during my hunt for yellow nail polish and medicine.

Gambit is going to be in the Wolverine movie. I have had a crush on Gambit since I was ten years old. Actually, he was my first crush. Did I like the boys at my school? No. I liked a thieving Cajan with in a trench coat. Obviously, even at such a young age, my taste in men was refined. I'm not wildly excited about the fellow (Taylor Kitsch) cast to portray my first love, but I will say that he looks quite fetching in this picture. So, I'm rolling with it. Plus, as falco_conlon pointed out: Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber together. Unf, unf, unf.

And now for a meme that several on my flist have been doing...

Post the first sentence or two from the first blog entry of each month. It's like a skewed retrospective of my year.
