I had originally hoped to do something a little more meaningful, but unfortunately all of my ideas required actual thought (which, for the last four days, has been extremely painful to do).
So instead... I'm dedicating this entry to Dr. Flanzman, who has brought me back from the brink of death and has supplied me with a miracle potion called "cough syrup with codeine". Wonder of wonders, in just two short hours my bones have stopped feeling like they were being split apart from the inside, and I am able to concentrate on more than Miami Vice and La Femme Nikita reruns. (Mmmm Roy).
Now I ask you, who gets the fucking flu in the middle of summer?
(That wasn't a rhetorical question.)
Me, that's who.
So, on one hand I know that there's no magic pill they can give me to make this all go away, but on the other hand I know that I'm probably over the hump, and that I'll probably be good as new in a couple of days. As long as I stop aching like I have been, I can deal with it.
God bless you, Dr. Flanzman! (and the makers of that lovely little syrup!)
Ok, so I went back to Rachel's diary to try to find this cute little picture of a two-headed turtle, but I got completely distracted by some of her older entries, particularly one about coincedences, because freaky shit like that happens to me all the time, and I always take a moment to wonder whether there's really some cosmic reason for it, or whether I just spend WAY to much time thinking about things.
Anyway, I couldn't find the turtle (although you really should have seem him - SO cute! There was a whole segment on Animal Planet dedicated to two-headed turtles earlier.) So anyway, I found this little question thingy instead and figured there was enough new stuff in here that I hadn't covered before. So here goes:
