This week, in bizarro-world:

[mylittleredgirl]

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.

HR put all kinds of antibacterial and sterilization wipe things in all bathrooms, kitchens and random flat unoccupied surfaces in work this week, 'cause of the flu thing.

How is megatrekathon going? Done with TOS yet?

As far as I know, you've not invaded us yet!

I'm going with this option. I am SO over all these people freaking out.

Although perhaps I'm a bit biased working in a doctors office down the road from 4 CONFIRMED CASES OMG.

Ya know, I live on the other side of a basketball court of where two of the cases live. And I'm not worried at all. Its basically the flu with a side of GI problems. Meh. I see absolutely no reason to worry unless one is traveling to Mexico or has a compromised immune system. Just, working in a doctor's office and having a biology/immunology background, I have to deal with the STUPIDEST questions all day.

Dreamwidth is ridiculously shiny, and works pretty much exactly like LJ, only with extra awesome. I think I will probably migrate over there entirely, soon.

I am glad a bagel cured your not!swine flu, yes. If your country must invade, can you invade Scotland so you can come hang out with me?

I have watched a ridiculous amount of TOS today. I blame you entirely. Oh, the crack.

Except for the baseball (I alas don't follow it) (*do not injure meh!*) I totally agree with this post. I think there is like one case of the swine flu in our town, but they were getting better last I heard. So, well. I wash my hands a lot and winced when my brother looked sick the other night, but try not to worry.

Also I am way too lazy to switch to Dreamwidth right now, even though I hear that it is epically shiny and wondermous. Perhaps I will hang around and see how it goes.
