"Swine" Flu? Psh, please.

Yesterday was the second vaccination in my on-going Malaria research study. The vaccine itself is kind of like getting a flu shot; you get a sore arm, a day or two of feeling groggy/stuffy as well as a general malaise. The only problem this time, is that over the weekend, I got a bummer cold from god knows what or who (although I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I watched five feces-rolling-in kittens last week in a three-day overnight bout of fraternal obligation).

So I went in yesterday, Kitten Flu and all, expecting the nurse to say something along the lines of ‘Oh, we don’t want you getting too sick! Go home Brian, go home and be free!’ but rather I’m met with the ever-delightful, “Oh, a cold? Well as long as you don’t have a fever.” Awesome. And that brings us to now, where I sit at work with a stuffed up head and an aching body, all due to the fact that the Kitten Flu and Malaria are gangbanging my immune system. But you know what? Joke’s on you hybrid-super-flu, cause I enjoy a good flu; I say bring it on.



P.S.- If I don't post for a few days, I've probably died, so please, donate my blog to science.
