So far, this new decade has held nothing but convalescence for me. The worst part is that I am feeling so crappy that I cannot seem to fall asleep, eliminating the attractive option of just waking up when this is all over. I sought relief in medication, my mother gave me a sheet of Sudafed to combat the sore throat and nasal congestion but I have to say I have not been impressed with its effectiveness so far. I put some brand new sheets on my bed the other day, just in time to become bedridden.
I've been watching episodes of Freaks and Geeks on DVD with commentary, which have been entertaining enough to make me laugh even while I lie here drifting in and out of consciousness. Jason Segel and Seth Rogen are always funny in interviews, so I imagined these commentaries would be similar. They are, and Paul Feig, the creator of the show, offers some great input too. The commmentary tracks were recorded around the time that the DVD's were released, which was not until about 4 years after the show aired on television. Many references are made to how much some of the cast members have changed (or in Millie's case, have not changed). At the time the commentaries were recorded, many of the actors were not as successful as they are now, so references to Seth Rogen needing a job are obviously dated.
Back to my bed nest...
