I love movies, even though some actors are unbelievably out of sync with the real world, sometimes.No names, you know who I mean.
War of the Roses, a witty Danny de Vito movie with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner:
My love. By the time you read this, I may be gone. Err... Blah, blah, blah, blah blah. Ah: All I am and all I have, I owe to you.I fell in a stairway earlier today and seriously hit the two parts of my anatomy I use the most.
My butt and my head.
What are you laughing at, Mr./Mrs. smarty-pants-jump-to-conclusions?
When at my desk, I sit on my ass and work with my head. Get the point?
And no, I don't see how it could be done the other way round.
Anyway.
Considering the (sketchily nauseous) indisposition I experienced right after the fall (How can the blood leave your face and lips so fast? And where does it go?) the generalist I consulted think I should keep quiet, stay warm and look for signs of (uncommon) queasiness, (atypical) sleepiness and (unusual) headaches in the next 48 hours.
I asked: " Dammit Doc, to feel the difference, I'll have to stop monitoring the French media right? »
She answered: " Obviously you're not going to die right now in my office. Stop being a smart ass, this blood pressure at 10 is a source of concern. Maybe it's just the aftershock, but be watchful and don't stay alone for the next two days, in case you just blackout. »
I asked her if she had any project for the week-end and she answered that she was about to overhaul her diagnosis and send me right away to the emergency room and I said oh wait I'm not dead, I'm getting better, I think I'll go for a walk.
I love movies.
I still feel a kind of dizzy uneasiness, but I guess all I have to do now is waiting.
And stop monitoring the French media.
48 Hours. It's a bit scary though.
Think about it: maybe you're reading the ultimate words of a dead man?
An excellent Jim Jarmusch movie, with an outstanding Johnny Depp and Robert Mitchum in his last role, by the way.
