Update, concerning the major topic of comments: We’ve done this before; see the discussion of the first season of the Fallout TV series HERE.

Last week I was finally getting over the sinus infection. Allergy problems caused another bad day, but I was finally truly getting better.

Then I got a cold. Not a little sniffly one, either; one of the bad ones. Although, a few days ago I felt it start like a switch was flipped, and last night I suddenly felt the switch flip again and I started feeling better. Unfortunately I’m  draining so bad I can’t stop blowing my nose or sneezing. Either of which is making a horrible mess.

This has certainly been the season for it.

Planning on watching Fallout Season 2 pretty soon. I’ve only seen one reaction pop up on YouTube (I didn’t watch it), but the creator was someone I don’t generally follow because they advocate New Vegas as the *only* really good Fallout, followed by 1 and 2 and generally disregarding everything (else) produced by Bethesda as Bethesda “doesn’t get* Fallout. An opinion I don’t agree with, I’ve shared before.

Hope everyone has a good week. I’ll be taking my parents to doctors’ appointments this week as long as I really am getting over this cold.

Well, let’s get this over with. And Happy New Year for those following the Gregorian Calendar. The final two movies of the original Halloween timeline are best tackled all at once, even though from some points-of-view the second movie of this trilogy, V: The Revenge of Michael Myers, is more closely related to part IV. The third second-trilogy movie, Halloween VI: The Curse of Michael Myers; kills off the main character at the beginning and retcons the series, setting up another new concept. However, the retcon (and movie, really) was so bad it seemingly killed off the franchise. Except it didn’t. In fact, there are only three years separating part VI from Halloween: H20, whereas VI was released SIX YEARS after Part V. I distinctly remember a short period of time in the early 1990’s when something along the lines of Halloween: H20 was believed to be the next Halloween movie after V. A “reset” film that followed from the first Halloween rather than continuing the Jamie Lloyd story. There’s a lot more to all of this behind the scenes rather than on the screen, so let’s learn a bit.

I’m sorry I missed last week. Genuinely. Toward the end of the week before last, I got what I thought at the time was a sinus infection. Last weekend I was utterly miserable and in constant pain. Normally the common sinus meds or even pain relievers don’t work on my sinuses, or not well anyway. But; I did finally take some ibuprofen. It surprisingly (only in my case) helped, and the situation has slowly improved since. I’m still trying to manage pain, and while there is possibly an infection going on, I never developed any *other* symptoms of an infection. There is clearly some kind of inflammation and/or blockage and on-line searches point at sinusitis. Which I already suspected was a problem. I would really like to do outpatient surgery to clear out my sinuses.
