My computer -- the laptop that is -- remains dead or at any rate well past pining for the fjords. It couldn't go into the shop this weekend because the shop is not open on the weekends, and it can't go in tomorrow as I will have to be on campus from 8:30 in the morning until 10:30 at night

On a cheerier note, here's a link to video of William Shatner singing Rocket Man, with a cigarette.
That's the 1977 Saturn Awards, which I watched in syndication. All I could think was "Captain Kirk SMOKES?????"

(Okay, couldn't resist that. What I meant to say was, wow, how cool that you know that! and yes, that was my thought too, thirty years later. Well, that, and also: open flame on a spaceship! Wow, terrible idea!)

On the immune front, as a life long victim of heinous colds etc, sometimes you need to put everything on the back burner for a while and concentrate on building up the immune system. Lots of rest, healthy food, little stress. Oh, you can do that right now? Hm. Well, lately, when I know I'll be facing cats etc, I do a thing called "immune system boot camp" (by me. No one else would say anything that dorky.) Which also involves plenty of sleep leading up the event, and good food, and drinking lots of Airborne (which is expensive but effective; NB, "pink grapefruit" is by far the least odious flavor). Also lots of loratadine and nasalchrom in advance, but that won't help you.
Point is, making a concerted effort to help your immune system, with rest and substances, really can turn it around.
/preaching. Smooches- I will try to call again next weekend.

Also sorry that you have a cold. You know, I remember another time - this was a couple of winters back, I think, when you were running the opposite of a fever and claimed to be dead & cooling off slowly. So at least you're consistent. AND, if the cooling process really did start a year or two again, at least it is progressing very very slowly. But ... I do hope you're feeling better soon.

And hmmm, do you suppose repeating my own dumb jokes is a flu symptom? Or ... maybe ... that's what vampires do. Yeah, that's it! I'm sure Spike would do that!
No fangs yet, but it's early days yet. I *am* frighteningly pale already and also wanting to sleep all day. Yep, I'm a vampire.
How are you doing?
