So, I had a pretty bad fever last night, and felt cold all the time (shivering at room temperature), so, listening to my body as I have been taught to do, I put on three shirts and wrapped myself in three sheets when I went to bed.  My girlfriend said this is actually bad.  Is she correct?  Seems like, since the point is to raise your body temperature and destroy the infection, it's just helping the process along.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Gross. I wear latex gloves.

You can also put latex on your big finger. That is the more effective birth control strategy.

RSO records didn't need U2, after almost forty years as a top record label they are still going strong.

Yeah, who would have needed all those millions anyway

Not sure they were an RSO type of band. RSO had The Bee Gees and the Grease soundtrack. (I know this cause I had those records)

Grease?  I am going to have to reassess everything I thought I knew about you.

I was 12. Loved it. John T. was my idol

The movie came out the summer that I turned six.  A lot of my classmates had older siblings who adored that movie, so it was awesome! (though none of us had seen it.)  I remember that fall we had a speaker in my first grade class; the entire class gasped when they heard that she was "From Greece."  We thought she was the coolest person ever.

They never should have forced poor Olivia Newton John to do a cartwheel.

I pretty much missed the entire Grease thing, apart from the occasional song on the radio.

Grease is a fine film.

I do remember when Grease 2 came out in the theater some of my friends were all excited for whatever reason.  So when we went to see it we got there too late and ended up watching Firefox, which was the movie I wanted to see in the first place & was pure awesomeness for my 9-year old eyes.

How are we defining "fine"?

I saw that on my FB feed yesterday.  Really neat.

Maybe my reaction would be different if I got used to it - but while I thought the slowest one was kinda cool, the bottom two made me feel a little unwell.

I was a bit confused about people who liked to read getting all pissy. I'm not sure why something that would let you read quicker would be a negative as you could still read novels at a leisurely pace if you still wanted.

B+ish? Been a while since I've seen it.

I went on my first "date" to see Grease - I think in grade 7.  I loved the movie but for a whole other reason.
