Total lack of energy & enthusiasm today. The flu is keeping its grip on me. Only sparks of hope when there are phone calls popping in from work and friends. Quick change of mental state, to not sound to miserable.

Not even capable of reading a book or a magazine, especially not sports magazines. It just makes me feel worse. I have to pass over the peak period first.

A movie might be more consumable, especially if the theme is from a more miserable environment, then I'm in at the moment. Slumdog Millionaire http://www.moviefone.com/movie/slumdog-millionaire/31044/main won the 2009 Oscar for the best movie yesterday, so we will most certainly watch it tonight, since I happened to pick up a "copy" in the Silk Street Market in Beijing a few weeks ago. Let's hope it's a playable version. Always interesting to check the quality on these kind of bargains. The packaging looks very professional for a new movie for 10 RMB (12 SEK). Watched the Iron Man (same purchase) the other night with Oliver and it was very good quality up until the last 10% of the movie. Then it got hick-ups, but on the other hand, the movie, as most American movies, also got worse and worse from a content perspective. Most of them have very good intrigues, but then they somehow lose focus and just try to wrap the story up in the end, probably short of budget. The American movie audience have normally after half a movie also run out of Coke & Popcorn, so the same applies to them. Buuurp!
