It turns out I got swine flu somehow. I hadn’t paid much attention to the obscenely successful viral marketing campaign h1n1 has been enjoying, and it turns out it’s just not all that scary. At least, it’s no more scary than regular-old infuenza. After a few days of discomfort with a high fever, very low energy levels, and somewhat annoying coughing, I decided to visit the hospital. They prescribed some Tylenol for me (in the form of Vicodin… by the way, Tylenol is the more dangerous ingredient in Vicodin since it can shut down your liver) and recommended that I keep doing what I’ve been doing and avoid “anyone I like” as I am highly contagious.
So I apologize for the sudden drop in post frequency. I should be back on schedule next week, after the holidays. Wish me a quick and complete recovery, so I can get back to lying on my oily, grimy garage floor.
