it's still just once a year
No Day Break today. It's what I call "Sinus Day" (though I haven't had one in a while) and I think I'll be going to bed early. Phil Connors is lucky he wasn't feeling sick or having allergy issues on the day that kept repeating. That would really be a horrible curse. No Benesh today either. My eyes don't feel like reading. But, so this isn't too brief, I would mention something that occurred to me last night. I've been assuming that Groundhog Day is set in 1993. My presumption about films in general is that if a film does not specifically say in what year it is set (and it is not obviously set in some year in the distant past or future) then it is set in the present year in which it is released. Groundhog Day , filmed nearly a year earlier, was released in February 1993. The exact setting hasn't been very important mostly; after all the film is rather timeless. Maybe the only entry in which the particular year matter was the one about Phil...
