Sleeping with the fishes

Today was rather dull, mainly because I slept through most of it. This was due to being ill most of the night with an odd combination of a prolonged asthma attack and severe nausea. It was as if I couldn't decide how sick I wanted to be.

The day wasn't a total loss, though. During the course of the afternoon, I caught up on my mild Sopranos addiction. After having watched the first two seasons courtesy of Premiere Video, I can safely say that:

• I was never cast in this series as I didn't have the fingernails for it.
• Steven Van Zandt's face and neck are permanently frozen in that weird combined hunch/scowl.
• A lot of hairspray died during the filming; mostly on the men's hairstyles.

But most episodes were reasonably entertaining, especially Tony's dream sequences.
