Blogging because of boredom

Why blog? Because I'm in day #2 of being sick enough to not do much, and I'm getting very bored. Earlier, I was considering going to work instead of calling in sick because at least I would have something to do and focus on. (I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made it through my whole shift, seeing as I once again have a fever and inability to concentrate.) Really, having this much time on my hands wouldn't be a bad thing. Except that right now (because I'm sick), I don't really feel like doing anything (although doing nothing is driving me crazy).

All this boredom led me to Blockbuster for the first time in ... at least 6 months. I watched my Netflix movie yesterday, and it's currently on its way back to the facility. So far I've watched:

"Marie Antoinette"
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, although I knew it was a bit unconventional. I enjoyed it quite a bit, though. It's a fun/historical flick.

"The Prairie Home Companion"
I thought this looked entertaining. Instead, I was just immensely bored. I did watch the whole thing because I thought something might happen that made it worthwhile (it didn't) and because I was bored anyway and had little else to do. For someone who grew up listening to the radio show, this might be an enjoyable step back in time. For everyone else, don't waste your time.

Altman definitely directed another bomb with "A Prairie Home Companion." It was actually his final movie before he kicked the bucket. The movie just missed. And Garrison Keillor should stick to radio. His screenplay was just boooorrrring.
