Ich bin krank

Posted on February 25, 2004 By admin 26 Comments on Ich bin krank

In the flu roulette, my number just came up. Urgh. I feel like shit. Feverish, achy, light-headed, I don't know why I came into work today. I spent the evening on my couch last night, huddled under a blanket, shivering away. Of course, that was followed by my ever-so-popular fever dreams. Dear lord, my imagination is WHACKED! Imagine dreaming about building the perfect flu virus out of boolean logic and metal parts. Maybe I shouldn't have watched junkyard wars before going to bed…

    Build the perfect flu virus?? Uh oh, remind me never to make you angry :P

    Get well soon, and don't feel bad about the gym, we'll do it some other time.

    Don't worry about that. The dreams I get when I'm feverish are always completely fucked up. Imagine a mafia war between two rival families. Now imagine that you're omniscient, like god, and you know exactly what everybody is thinking and doing. Now imagine that you're living the life of everybody, AT THE SAME TIME. From one instant to the next, you're living the day-to-day life of hundreds of people… That was weird. I woke up feeling more tired than when I went to bed.

    Poor guy.. I would offer to make you soup, but I think, garlic and other allergies not withstanding, I would kill you with my culinary talents. Hope you feel better soon.

    It's the thought that counts, thanks :)

    I just really hate feeling like this. Especially since, in the last hour or so, my right ear is completely blocked. It's like hearing an echo inside your own head. Bleh.

    Ewww.. that sucks.
    But somehow, my curious side is wondering what you yodelling would sound like to yourself… if that made any sense whatsoever.

    I just tried it. It's not a pretty picture.

    Too bad…
    Now I have that stupid song from Sound of Music in my head… you know the one from the puppet show? About the lonely goather… lady-o-dilady-o-dila-he-hooooo!

    Ewwwww. I'd rather have the flu than that song in my head :(

  9. eniran says:
    February 25, 2004 at 6:24 pm

    Yeah… but hey, I've got a loop of all the songs from the movie in my head now, so it's not only that one.

    you poor, poor thing :(

    Meh… it could be worse. I'll live… or annoy myself so much that I have to shove a pen into my brain… either way, it passes the time.

  12. talisker says:
    February 25, 2004 at 6:32 pm

    ok, but before doing the pen thingie, call me. A mind is a terrible thing to waste…

    Yeah… sorry about the lack of phone call last night. I spent way too long on the phone with the girl, and I still haven't caught up completely after the time-difference-lack-of-proper-sleep thing.

    February 25, 2004 at 6:37 pm

    hey, don't worry about it. I wouldn't have been good phone company anyway. I was shivering away on my couch watching TV all night. How is your girl?

    She's better… but now her mum is sick. :(

    well, at least you'll be able to see her soon then :D

    February 25, 2004 at 6:44 pm

    Uh huh… maybe even tonight, woohoo!

    February 25, 2004 at 6:48 pm

    lucky you. The only thing worse than being sick is being sick and horny :( I just got this rush of hormones out of nowhere… That's so wrong when you're at the office.

    February 25, 2004 at 6:49 pm

    It is.. you big perv! ;D

    guilty as charged, but you like me like that, so it's all good.

    mmmh… perfect virus huh?! Think you've been working too hard lately… why not deaming about some nanobots kicking the virus out of your body? Maybe it could work ;p ! Hope you'll get well soon!

    * hug *

    is it your kitty on the icon?

    I really can't control what I dream about when I'm sick – it's always a surprise. Thanks for the hug :)

    And no, that's not my cat. My lease and my allergies say I can't have one, though I'd love to.

    funny, 'cause this kitty looks like mine!

    That's such a juicy straight line for a punster like myself. Count yourself lucky that I'm not feeling well, cause things could have gotten out of hand really fast :)

    February 28, 2004 at 4:38 am

    yap! I didn't realized when I wrote it… O_o I'm not used to watch for potential puns in english… guess I should be grateful for your mercy this time then ;D

    I'll try to think twice next time before writting any spontaneous ambiguous thoughts,
    I know you won't be always that merciful … or will you ??

    By the way, can I add you on my friends' list ?

    Heeeheheh. I try to generally be good, but once in a while, a straight line is too juicy to pass up, and must be punned :) More often than not, I'll just let people off with a warning though.

    As for the friend list, please do :)

Quote of the day

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
