I’ve been sick for the past two weeks and I hate it, and unfortunately I couldn’t take any time off work because I had to finish up a lot of loose ends for a conference that takes place this weekend.
I feel like the excellent opening scene in the otherwise very bad film, Any Given Sunday. The movie stinks, but the football cinematography is excellent. Anyway, Jamie Foxx’s character is the second string quarterback who gets put in when the starting quarterback gets sacked into next week. After getting sacked himself, Foxx takes a snap and surveys the field. Everything runs in slow motion as the receivers run down the field and he sees one of them to his right open. Just as the ball gets to the receiver, out of nowhere comes a cornerback accompanied by streaks of light who zooms in front of the ball for the interception.
That’s what I feel like when I’m sick — everything’s going in slow motion and at double speed all at once.
Blah.
