Sick days

| | Comments (24)

Wow, am I sick. Barely strong enough to stand up. I was standing in line at the pharmacy yesterday and the next thing I knew I was waking up on the floor, with my head spinning. All I can do is sleep through it...

You're in our prayers.

Damn man, I'm sorry. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope you get to feeling better! My atheistic equivalent to prayers are with you!

While you're out sick, I'm just gonna go ahead and rob your house. Don't let it disturb you.

This is why the Western channel was invented. Turn it on, watch for a while, fall asleep, repeat. Get well soon.

My prayers are with you AND I hope you get to feeling better. Hey, a guy can do both, you know ...

I've felt like that. It's not fun. Mine was coupled with some other, bathroom-related ailments. If that's what it is, you'll be well in a couple of days.

Best of luck, get some rest.

Wow, that sounds severe. Get well, Jim!

Lord, Jim! Best wishes to you from down here in Florida. Send some good, warm vibes your way. Get well soon.

Get well soon, Jim!

Get well soon, Jim. Hang in there!

That does sound bad. Please allow me to join the chorus of Get Well Soons.

Sorry to hear it.. that bug seems to be going around the country. I got hit so hard last year I went through three boxes of Kleenex in a day, and still felt like I couldn't breathe.

Get better, man.

I got sick this year, too. It was very much like you. I was so sick I couldn't stand, and surely enough I passed out in my bathroom. I went to the hospital and was told I was severely dehydrated and on the verge of a heart attack. It's a horrible, horrible experience being sick. The best of luck to you.

Dear Jim,
please get better SOON - and continue posting your wonderful stuff.

There's nothing like it.

Get well, Jim. I hope Richard Kelly isn't behind this.

Personally, I prescribe "Rockford Files" episodes. Good for what ails. Matzo ball soup, too. Get better and I'm sending in a mental note to the Powers that Be to ensure that this is merely a passing flu bug (which is often, IMO, a note from your body saying you need to be less industrious for just a brief spell). Take care of yourself.

Hey Jim,

Hope you are well soon. Happy New Year!

Jim, you're already getting better.

When you get back I'll be all caught up on Holiday movies and ready to discuss!

Jim: I hope you're feeling better. I was flattened last Saturday by a pretty severe bug myself, but it sounds like you're really having a time of it. Hang in there!

And in addition to Richard Kelly, I'd be for inquiring about the activities of one Tim Burton over the past few days as well!

Sorry to hear you're sick! I really miss your blog.

Not to draw attention away from you, but would anybody here like to guess what I stuck up my butt today?

Spider Fighter,

I would guess your head.

Jim, get better soon. There's talk around the schoolyard that Jonathan Rosenbaum is saying you're faking it 'cause your yella. You're not going to stand for that are you?

And Spider Fighter: Boy I haven't heard a good "up my butt" question in days. I going to guess... hmmm... a ricecake? No, no. Wait. A mellon baller. Yes? No?

Rockford Files? No no, what you need is Magnum PI, don't make me start a poofie headed quarrel here. PS, finally found No Country for Old Men-- in Poland, and it is awesome, great! Can't wait to see _There Will Be Blood_ and disagree with you...if I can. Get well soon, those of us deprived of flicks over here need trenchant stuff constantly.
