dinner and a movie: Superman Returns

March 15, 2007

Watching a movie with eyes still semi-dilated can be taxing. The opthalmologist assured me my corneas are fine despite the shingles, but that could change. She launched into a description of a retinal tear (which thankfully I don’t have) that made me wonder if she thought I needed more fearsome images of calamitous conditions.

I needed the movie to erase the pretty pictures from the handout given by the dermatologist yesterday. Some unfortunate souls have much worse cases of shingles, and there are many photos to prove it.

The movie was diverting, Brandon was handsome, the cape should have gotten an award, and the leftover beef stew was perfect. What I really want is a large piece of chocolate cream pie with a big dollop of whipped cream on top.
