Bleh. Still fighting off this nasty little cold. It's not bad enough to consign me to bed but is just bad enough to be a persistent annoyance. Ingesting some cold medicine has dried me up enough to attend a get-together of AFI students this evening so I can meet and greet some of my new colleagues. Just wish I felt better. I missed the last two such get-togethers and this will be the last one before school, so I can't miss it, sniffles or no. Won't be there late -- good night's rest this evening is a must.

Watched Nashville this evening, whittling down my required pre-AFI viewing list. Liked it, but as is the case with many of these mid-70's flicks I don't quite understand its "greatness." But then, I've never been a big Altman fan.
