So I've got the post festival bug.

This time, it comes in the form of the common cold. Touch wood. If it becomes the post festival secondary infection, then I'll be really annoyed.

By the way, here is a reason why finishing your show in the comedy festival can be good:

... other stuff exists!...

Here's some other stuff:

Anthony Lane has reviewed Spidey 3 here. Worth it just for his description of Harry Osborne's "agonized, drawn-out desire to make Spider-Man pay", which Anthony Lane reckons "makes Hamlet’s revenge look like a snap decision". Apeehee.

Since the comedy festival, I have also read What Is The What, by the ever so slightly clever Dave Eggers. It's an astonshing story, about this guy. Wow.

Also, check out this film. Stew and Rita worked on it, which is obviously why it's getting such brilliant reviews. (The involvement of Matthew, Trevor, Laszlo, and the entire rest of the cast and crew might have something to do with it, but you guys can make up your own minds. Who am I to say?).

Other things I have found myself doing on the way to recovering from the comedy festival:

1. Saw this sci-fi movie, despite the flimsy premise.

2. Saw this, which is a massive waste of money, especially if you compare it with the book I've just finished reading.

3. Slept.
