Fever 'Fun'

I'm often a weird bunny when it comes to fever.

It started when I was a toddler and I had such high fever that I hallucinated the baby Jesus spinning in the manger in my family's Christmas crib.

Later, I remember imagining that a statue of Julius Caesar was in my bedroom, surrounded by a farandole of black cats.

Once, I was shopping with Mother, and I started talking in... Latin.

Things aren't always that entertaining when I have fever, but they can be.

A couple of days ago, as the defrosting of my nerve VII was beginning to generate some odd bout of fever, I went shopping in the suburbs. I hadn't been there in years, and the last time I went there, I'd taken another line that's fully underground.

This time, the penultimate station is above ground, and the train goes above the river. My train was a very modern new model, and the skyscrapers around at night made it look like a live scene from a Sci-Fi film. My surprise, the strange lights around, the exotic look of the scene (thanks to the spot of fever) are definitely going to be recycled in a plot somewhere.

Oddly, I find myself wishing to watch 2046 again. That might be the fever making me remember that film wrong.
