> Most annoying flu ever.
Cosi fan tutte. ;->
The last time I had the flu was over a New Year's holiday,
so I didn't have to take time off from work. It was on the
boundary between 1999 and 2000. I was visiting a friend
in another city. He got it first, was too sick to eat
one morning, and went straight to bed -- I spent the day Web surfing
on his PC. Next day, I was sick in bed beside him. We
spent the next week like that (and my car got towed, too).
As I recall, when we could manage it, we passed the time
watching VHS tapes of _The Time Machine_ (the events of
which take place on New Year's Eve 1899 -- not counting
the trip into the future ;-> ) and the
Zeffirelli _Jesus of Nazareth_ miniseries (Peter Ustinov,
Anne Bancroft, Olivia Hussey as Mary, etc.)
Bring me the head of John the Baptist!
