Okay, I actually regret turning off the game last night, because fielders were pitching and pitchers were fielding and that's probably about as hilarious as a 13-0 loss can be.

I don't have a dreamwidth account, not so much out of personal politics or anything as that I am way behind the news curve and feel daunted by the idea of having to figure out something new. (My brain cells are kind of like Boston pitching yesterday -- scattered injuries, overworked, and getting lost somewhere out in left field.) Am I gunna lose all my frenz? DO U STILL LUV MEEEE?

I thought I had swine flu this morning, but then I ate a bagel and felt better. I can't decide if I want to freak out about this thinly spread epidemic or not. The numbers on the CDC site make it seem so bland that the cynic in me thinks this is all a big diversionary tactic, and next week we'll discover that we invaded England or something while no one was looking. However, CDC people also say "this could mutate and kill everyone in like ten seconds," so I will err on the side of not putting unsterilized objects in my mouth, nose or eyes.

I cannot get up the oomph to do a darned thing this week. I'm brushing up on my telekenesis by staring at the piles of to-dos on my desk and attempting to will them to do themselves.

Dude, I've had everything from people calling in saying "well, I read the symptoms online and I don't really have any of them but my sister's best friend's boyfriend was in Mexico six months ago and came over for dinner last week so I think I might be exposed" to people asking me for the vaccine (WHICH DOESN'T EXIST) and then accusing me of discriminating against them when they find out that they cannot get the vaccine (WHICH, I REPEAT, DOESN'T EXIST). I can't make this shit up.

It really doesn't help matters that the regular flu is still ending out its run this season and strep has started going around. For some reason people tend not to believe you when you tell them that its a virus and not bacteria so antibiotics won't have any effect and anti-virals are not a proven preventative measure. Teh stoopid. Gah.
