Bad head & chest cold. I'm reading The Stand along with the Unfortunate Events books, and weirdly it makes me feel better. Just a cold, after all!
So I finally saw Lost on TV, the season 3 premiere, and had to suffer through the commercials with everybody else. (The DVDs have spoiled me.) Turns out the polar bears were real! They were presumably part of a DHARMA project, as seen among the scribbles on the blast door map: "STATED GOAL, REPATRIATION ACCELERATED DE-TERRITORIALIZATION OF URSUS MARITIMUS THROUGH GENE THERAPY AND EXTREME CLIMATE CHANGE". Alrighty then. I have no idea what useful purpose this would serve.

I just read the Stand again over the summer. I love that story. One of my favorites for sure.
Have you ever read the Dark Tower series?
Feel better
I'm kind of interested in the Dark Tower books now that I know more about them (I just came across a fansite the other day). They sound pretty unique.
I think the worst of the cold is over. :)
If you like the Stand, you'll like the Dark Tower. You have to get through the first book (which is admittedly a little dry). Two through 4 just ROCK, they're so good. The last two I wasn't as impressed with, but others have liked them.
I'll definitely give 'em a try. I'm only about a third of the way thru The Stand, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
I tried reading the Dark Tower books. I couldn't make it through book 1. Too flowery!
Like Dad says: "Stephen King tends to get diarrhea of the word processor!"
