Oh yeah there was a week

[rax]

• I am enplagued. I woke up yesterday morning and felt kind of woozy but thought it might just be because I was hanging around with smokers on Friday? But then it got worse and worse and when I felt too out of it to play Pokémon at 9:30 PM I knew I was doomed. I slept for like ten hours although I had bizarro fever dreams? And woke up and was like maybe this will work and stood up and was super lightheaded and was like "...Nope!" I took some medicine and a long hot shower and am drinking tea and hopefully I will have enough brain to get through some of my homework, but my weekend tasklist is... not gonna get done. Eit.
• The whole fever thing explains why I somehow felt obligated to spend an hour yesterday looking for and uploading My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic icons for my LJ/DW. ^^;; Don't get me wrong, the fever isn't why I like the show, I like it because it's smart and fun and full of little references to older ponies and other animated works and different bits of itself, and because the characters are real people I'd really like to hang out with (if I were a pony or some such) although they would occasionally drive me insane, and because it's exciting to think that as a culture we are producing television shows for kids that are actually good. WIth the big caveat that reasonable depictions of masculinity are few and far between, I strongly recommend it. Anyway, expect to see ponies next to "rax" in comments about half the time instead of Pokémon characters now. and yes I bought more LJ icons in order to do this don't judge me
• The class that didn't have a set syllabus before now has a set syllabus. Hooray! ...and the final project proposal is due Wednesday. I've done some work on it, and I really hope my brain wakes all the way up before then so I can finish.
• For those of you excited about the Rachel's Cats Show, Leo has started spending some time up in the kitchen and dining room, but Selene hasn't stopped; he comes up when she's asleep on my bed, and she chases him off when she wants to sit on my lap while I'm working. I'm gonna go ahead and call this progress. Also, and less awesomely, Leo appears to be able to open the garage door, and wreak havoc in the garage. I may have to get a different latch or something; I still don't know what he knocked down this most recent time.
• I was gonna call a bunch of people today but I kind of have no voice? So that probably won't happen.
• If I'm still sick by Tuesday and Wednesday, should I go to school? Opinions on this seem to be mixed across professors and departments. I don't want to get other people sick, but I also don't want to miss class discussion, since honestly that's most of the point of being in these classes. If I don't feel up for even walking to the class from the bus stop (which is how I feel today) it's pretty clear I shouldn't leave the house. Rrf. We'll see how I'm doing in two days I guess.
• ...wow I am tempted to go back to bed already.

Last time I was sick like that I had to take a midterm. D:

I hope you feel better soon!

I read the first 3 lines of your post as "I am engaged." And I got all excited, but was confused, and then I reread it and was like, "oh." This is what happens when your post is the first in my lj lineup first thing after I wake up.

Yeah, uh, that didn't go so well last time, and is unlikely to happen again in the near future, if at all. :\

But good morning!

I'm sorry you have the plague. I had the plague Monday through Thursday. It involved a dream about how all humanity now lived underground in a world with stale air and no light, and we all had to breathe through tubes all the time. So I volunteered to pilot an experimental rocket into the sun, so I could end the suffering but also see something glorious before I died. The next day when I felt a little better, I dreamed we were on our way to the sun and trying to modify the ship to make a return trip, since we'd decided living might be worthwhile after all.

While sick, I watched some more My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and now I have k_ addicted to it.

That is a way more interesting fever dream than mine! I am glad that there are more new addicts, also. :)

The fact that the first two pony icons I've seen out of you are Rarity and Fluttershy makes me VERY HAPPY.

I mean, I arguably have the most Twilight icons, but I need icons a whole lot for "I am reading every book ever" and she's the natural choice there...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks!

:( Sleep is always good while sick! Tea and vitamins are good too.

Also, I am really enjoying the pony icon exchange throughout these comments. I take it this is a new My Little Pony show and it is also at least somewhat enjoyable?

[taliabear.livejournal.com]

Short answer: yes and yes.

Regarding My Little Pony; do you like macros? Because there are macros (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic). 64 pages of them, which is oddly specific and I think they may have only stopped because 64 pages is the maximum the site can handle. Apparently the knowyourmeme/4chan crowd have gotten seriously addicted. I particularly liked this chart (http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/97849).

Spicy food is my approach to dealing with sickness. As an added bonus, if it doesn't help clear things up at least it's something you can still taste while your body is malfunctioning.

PS: I sent you an email regarding stuff and things.
