Feeling sick is so frustrating.
Today is a really nice, sunny day. I have nothing on the schedule and I figured, oooh, I can write all day! I opened Word and then sat there staring at the screen.
I can?t think right. My sinuses are throbbing and I?m sneezing and hacking. Yuck.
Then I thought, well, I can try a journal entry instead to warm up. I sat there staring at the screen.
Well, there was no use sitting there feeling a severe case of agita coming on.
I sat down to watch TV with TB. There?s not a lot of anything on today. Are Sundays like that? SciFi is running a Scare Tactics marathon.
When that show first premiered, I thought it looked like an invitation to a heart attack. It?s Candid Camera over the line. That show was a classic. The idea was to set up a victim for a practical joke and then film it and the results. Sometimes people would get quite excited until they realized they were being hoaxed. I wish I could remember some of the episodes I?ve seen. They were hilarious!
Well, Scare Tactics involves very elaborate and terrifying hoaxes. I remember a couple of clips I?ve seen. The victim gets into the car and the driver gets involved in a high speed chase. The victim yells, ?Stop!? and when that doesn?t happen, starts screaming. In another, there are a couple of kids inside a camper trailer of sorts and this ?monster? attacks the vehicle.
I thought the show went too far scaring people but it was on TV, I was bored and frustrated, and I began watching. It?s like passing a car wreck on the highway. I feel repulsed and yet fascinated. I mean, there might be blood and bodies ? there?s already wreckage and parts of cars all over. Yet the almost overwhelming curiosity is there. That?s the way I felt watching this show. I felt like it was too awful to watch but I couldn?t turn it off. Now I think I?m getting hooked :P I sure hope I?m feeling much better fast!
