FOG / Back Pain / Bliss

I absolutely adore Mr. Radcliff. I have never seen a Potter film but his scenes from Equus and How to Succeed and his interviews on YouTube reveal a witty, well-bred and well-adjusted young man with a marvellous and diverse talent. What wise casting he was for Potter.

Today is day six of thick, thick relentless fog — day and night. In the evening, watching TV, it felt like a winter night because it was white outside every window — like snow. It is really weird to be on the seventh floor, right in it. It makes you want to be under a warm cover and with your pet and/or a good book.

I am feeling really great today because it was my last day at the physiotherapist — at least until something else happens. I did "the rack," was electrified as usual and I got exercises to do to at home in order to continue my healing. But I can walk at a normal pace and I am no longer constantly looking over my shoulder, wary of being bumped. And best of all, Mr. Physio says I should try going back to fitness. Yay.

But the best part of life lately has been finding a web radio station called The Best of Broadway and Beyond (WERS HD2 in Boston, found using the search engine on iTunes music/internet). It broadcasts endless broadway show music without any commercials. I am in heaven. And, of course, when the always glorious voices sing particularly wonderful songs, you can read who is singing and what show it is from.

Being stuck at home with a bad back not only drove me to find my new favourite radio station, it got me searching on YouTube as well. I watched a lot of slam poetry, listened to lots of Moth stories, watched cooking demonstrations and broadway scenes. I like lazy relaxing entertainment at times and more and more YouTube wins over television.
