Aspirin and Superheroes
I stayed home from work today. Sick.
I’ve always said that being sick wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t feel so horrible. And horrible I did feel. I woke up at about 3 with a bad abdominal ache. I thought I had to throw up but I had the wrong end. I came back from the bathroom feeling pretty drained and tried to go back to bed. I was met with limited success and awoke with my alarm at 6:15. I immediately rushed to the bathroom for another encounter. I thought I’d feel better after I took a shower, but no success. I called in to work and let ‘em know I’d not be coming in.
I went back to bed. I awoke again felling slightly better at about 11, so I went over to Becky’s house and crashed on the couch over there. Shortly, Becky came home after her class and gave me the sick-attention that all men need. I had chicken noodle soup and she even made me grilled cheese with her bare hands (well I think she used a pan and stove and bread and cheese, but I can’t be sure).
After some good rest and some medicine, I felt good enough to go out. We went to the Spectrum to people-watch and catch a flick. The question of what movie to see was not a difficult one. Especially because It was playing in IMAX. That’s right: Batman Begins in IMAX.
Holy crap. That is one awesome movie. This is the way Batman should be. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re really missing out.
After the movie, we came home and now I’m bloggin’. I feel a lot better, but I don’t think I’ll be entering the Triathlon today.

She probably also used some sort of butter or margarine product to achieve the nice browning effect.
