Thursday Already? (January Edition)

[handful_ofdust]

So...I'm on Chapter Fifteen, which means I've been keeping up a pretty damn nice pace, considering I'm also dealing with Cal being home/sick. Of course, this mainly means reminding him to eat and pee, while simultaneously fielding TV requests like: "I want 'Figure Eight' on Schoolhouse Rock! again please, Mommy." (Fun fact: "Figure Eight" was also my own favourite Multiplication Rock song, back in the day. I never quite picked up whatever trick it was meant to mnemonically teach me, aside from multiples of eight echo multiples of four, sort of, which can be helpful or not, depending. But I can still sing the main theme from memory, along with the plaintive outro: Place it on its side and its a symbol that means...eternityyyy...)

Otherwise, very little else is getting done. Them's the breaks. I'm making occasional notes about stuff I might like to post on later--some of them projects left over from last year, for example, like comparing the two versions of Exorcist: The Beginning, which both have massive problems and frustratingly fascinating aspects, which makes watching them run one after the other on AMC surprisingly interesting.

I wish I could do three things at once anymore, but...yeah, just can't. 'Cause I'm old, and sick, and tired. Stroke me.;)

There are a few Shoolhouse Rock! videos on Youtube.

Oh God, I so want to hear your opinions on the two Exorcist prequels. I know they're bad but I just can't stop watching them, and have seen both at least five times. :)

I would like to hear that. They both contain Stellan Skarsgård, so I've always been vaguely interested.
