Vivre Le Fevre
I'd considered myself lucky to survive Boston's flu epidemic after a mere nine days of being confined to the family couch as an effective invalid, but no such luck -- I came home from work Wednesday night drifting through deep space with a temperature spiking at 103.1. The alternating chills and bursts of insane heat would be bad enough without the feeling that your brain has split into a hundred different warring factions; after two nights of lying awake tracking the progress of some hellish, invisible military quagmire in the privacy of my skull, I'm already sick to my back teeth of this thing. Meanwhile, my coordination has gone down the crapper -- quite literally, as I managed to drop my copy of The Scar straight in the bowl in a moment of feverish insanity. Now, this might have stung less if I wasn't in the middle of reading and now have to wait a week for a replacement copy, but as it stands, this is definitely not one of my prouder moments. Stay healthy, kids.

I'm sorry to hear that you are so unwell! Take care of yourself and hopefully you're starting to feel better now.

Thanks. Admittedly, I didn't really speed up my recovery by choosing to work booth two days at Anime Boston, AKA "The Seventh Circle of Hell" -- wall-to-wall Narutards and acne-scarred Clouds with seven-foot paper mache blades tromping through the dealer room like cattle herds dressed up by the local clown college. I went last year, and it was literally one of the most claustrophobia-inducing experiences I've ever had, bar none. This year, attendance was up 50%, the registration system melted down, and people were waiting up to 11 hours for badges. Imagine what a delightful experience that was on a mind-scrambling fever. I effectively had no voice left by Sunday, which was kind of novel -- I don't think I've ever been this hoarse.

So, yeah. That's been my week. How're you holding up?
