May. 10th, 2007 10:31 pmHere's hoping Allegra and FloNase will help, since Claritin, Alavert, and Chlortrimeton didn't. I think I feel more alert than I have in weeks, which is a good sign. Now if only the post-nasal drip would let up...
So to focus on more cheery topics - that "one moment of beauty" just over halfway through Season 2 of B5? Puer natus est! I had to learn that in chorus once, and I think we listened to that very recording! It always feels good to recognize the random cultural references in TV shows. (Or is it random? Maybe a Gregorian chant about the birth of Christ intended for Christmas services is relevant in some way I haven't realized yet.) Also, the Ministry of Peace, aka MiniPax? The B5 crew are obviously not up on their 20th-century lit, or they'd be more wary.
I've also started watching Buffy, which I sadly missed the first time around (am now on S2), and have already gotten gotten two great laughs out of spotting Hamlet quotes. The Master's "Where are your jibes now?" puts a line originally addressed to a skull in the mouth of someone trying to turn Buffy into a skull (well, trying to kill her, anyway), and Giles's "The rest is silence" in response to Buffy turning off her music as a guy dies outside also had me giggling.
