A-yup, I'm sick. It's a most wonderful thing, living in a college environment. Guy gets a germ, he kisses a girl, the girl drinks from a water fountain which is never cleaned, the fountain gets drunk from, and soon everyone is playing host to the Flu family. Happy days.

So yes, I have the flu. Fortunately my school is very liberal about attendance; they don't care if I'm skipping class when sick. Actually, they prefer it. However, this is the particular kind of sick that turns one's brain to complete mush while in attendance. In Biology this morning, the teacher walks in and says, "Good morning." The next words I remember with any clarity are "and if you do that, you'll get an A on your project," immediately followed by me thinking wait, what? After that incident, I excused myself and asked a friend to email me the notes after class. All that has been sustaining me for the rest of the day has been regular infusions of Origa and Yoko Kanno, mixed with Green Day and sprinkled with Linkin Park. Allow me to repeat how addled I am. A day where I have Evanescence blasting in my ears and I cannot get a single word of a story written down is a very bad day indeed. Evanescence and Linkin Park are my creativity fuels, but they too are useless before the onslaught of the flu.

That said, it should come as no surprise that my various writing projects, including the current short story one, have been put on hold. Also put on hold are my entries into the EM: Denizens contest. Hopefully I will be able to complete those sometime soon; two of my entries are characters that have been lurking on my computer for some time, and I am eager to have them enter the public fray.

Otherwise...not much. Nothing really notable or out of the ordinary is happening with Bionicle right now, nor with BZP itself.I think I will have the subject of a rant ready by Wednesday, though.

In any case, see you then!
