You know what’s worse than realizing that your cold has been the flu all along?

It’s accepting that you’re still going to be under the weather for a few days, and then having your projector blow its bulb right before the second half of that really great two-part “Nature” look at the genesis of the modern dog. (Border collies look awesome in high-def.)

So. Now I have to spend half the day stumbling around the city, looking for a replacement bulb. But first I have to finish tomorrow’s DVD column, of course. I will be exhausted by teatime. I am pathetic.

Also, I managed to drag myself to see “The Invisible” and “Kickin’ it Old Skool” over the weekend. Learn from my misfortune.
