sick parade

Whoa! My last post created quite a stir. Rest assured, to everyone who assumed otherwise, that I have NOT been dooced. The post was generated in response to a friend whose co-worker has written in her blog about friends and family; not bad things, but true things that are private and should not be discussed in the public halls of the internet. Maybe reality TV is making some of us a little blasé when it comes to privacy. Anyway, I digress.

Today I’m sick. Being someone who rarely gets sick there have been times when I’ve thought how nice it would be to be sick for a few days just to be able to have that excuse to relax, take-it-easy, be told to "take-care-of-yourself", "don't over do it"... Problem is, even though I'm truly sick now, I'm not sick enough. I can still go to work, I still have an appetite, I can still do everything. I just feel like crap and slightly less coordinated than usual. Strep throat - it's just not good enough. And so, I’m off to work where I will happily transmit this Strep throat to all who annoy me.

Oh, funny movie to check out if you’re in the mood for a laugh and know a bit about Jewish culture: The Hebrew Hammer.

Also, really enjoyed this book: The Normals. Not sure if it would appeal to everyone, but it has a certain Coupland-esque quality.
