Sore Throat

[missizzy]

My throat went sore while I was at work yesterday, and has been since. Given how much pollen is around outside it's probably my sinuses, though so far my mother's Claritin-D doesn't seem to be helping. Today is a weekend to stay inside and hide from the pollen, watch Eurovision and the French Open. Also a bit more of Garfield & Friends before it goes off Netflix in June. Also Treasure Planet, which I started rewatching after finishing a biography of Robert Louis Stevenson. I'm more aware now of how pedestrian the general animation is, though some of the space sequences are still more than worth seeing, but also of how broad the imagination of the worldbuilding is, and also how brilliant Emma Thompson's voicework is; she pretty much steals at least the first third.
Right now my timeline is rejoicing Ireland's legalization of gay marriage, but I don't know. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is still happening, one of the rare cops who actually got charged with murdering a black kid still got acquitted, and all in all, it seems there remains more bad news than good.
