Post-Flu
According to a recent Boston Globe article, the flu is rapidly spreading across New England. The strain used in this year's vaccination is doing very little to curb its migration. I neglect to get vaccinated every year. I have a healthy immune system that has stood up to high school students and musky buildings. Unfortunately, my streak of good health was ruined last Friday by a contagious cough that had recently blanketed the school with its misery. I don't believe I had full blown influenza, just a moderate cold that left me exhausted. I spent the weekend in bed faithfully taking Tylenol Sinus and Severe Cold every four hours. I have a residual stuffing nose and a wheeze when I deeply inhale. I am luckier than most.
Last night, I was speaking to my twin brother about a vodcast I had watched from iFanboy.com. The three fanboys shared their appreciation for one of my favorite artists, Alan Davis. Alan Davis drew several X-Men titles, including one of my favorites, Excalibur. Not only did Excalibur include Kitty Pryde, my all time favorite comic book hero, but a great team ensemble that included Nightcrawler and Rachel Summers as Phoenix. His art is elegant, clean, but approachable. My brother and I shared our picks for this week. According to Christopher, I am supposed to be excited that Bucky is the new Captain America, but this passing of the iconic shield doesn't inspire me to purchase the book. Why kill a cold war figure and replace him with another cold war figure? We were discussing Fantastic Four and Mark Millar's arrival when our conversation was interrupted. Here's how it went...
Julie: Who gives a shit about Bucky? I'm not buying it.
Chris: You better pick that up for me.
Julie: Dude, why do I have to buy it?
Chris: You know I can't get out...Oh, and pick up Fantastic Four because Mark Millar from Wanted is writing it now. And, you forgot to give me my Buffy's when you were in last you stupid whore.
Julie: Yeah, I know - I'll send them to you.
Chris: Hold on...Diane is asking me a question...No, you don't have meningitis...
Julie: She thinks she has meningitis?
Chris: She has a headache and her neck is sore...Diane, you don't have meningitis - you have a cold.
Julie: Her lymph nodes are probably just inflamed.
Chris: Julie, I gotta go. I gotta take care of Diane...Later.
Like I said, I am luckier than most.
