Back from the sickbed, ready to kick some -- ooooo, smallpox.

Well, I'm finally feeling well enough to return to work, even though it means hauling my little blonde butt out of bed at 5:15 AM. The cats are, to put it bluntly, not amused. Lilly really has issues with the fact that my taking sick time doesn't mean I'm planning on staying home with her forever and always, amen. This is because Lilly is a freak.

I'm better than I was, although not one hundred percent; I was correct in assuming that my failure to develop a proper fever meant that I wasn't dealing with strep, and instead had 'just' a sort throat. There's very little 'just' about losing the capacity to swallow, but I'll take what I can get when it keeps me off the magic antibiotic happy juice. That stuff just knocks me out of the game for as long as it's in my system. NO LOGIC ALLOWED.

I've put my unexpected time away from work to good use, doing a lot of editing, a lot of inking, and a lot of catching up on my stock-piled television. I've now seen the entire first season of ReGenesis, aka 'Canadian television is trying to buy my love, and I think it just might be for sale.' Look, any show that's willing to give me smallbox-Marburg chimera diseases (I love chimera diseases) and have the balls to go for the Spanish flu? That show is basically going to own me for as long as it likes. Sadly, ReGenesis only wants to own me for four seasons. Alas, Babylon.

So now that I'm emerging from my viral hibernation, what have I missed? Assume that the world was just trundling on without me for the past three days.

I've been away longer than you. And will continue to be absent.

I've missed stuff. I won't catch up. I'm sure you'll live as I doubt you're addicted to my comments. :P

I have death though, so when I fail to return, it's not because you're boring (still love reading your stuff), it's because they buried me when I started to smell.

Well, if you reanimate, then Australia will become even more appealing, as it will be the land of poison and flame and ZOMBIES OH MY GOD ZOMBIES AHHH RUN FOR YOUR LIVES.

Feel better.

I may be a zombie that can only eat through a straw though. However I figure if I get a metal straw of some kind I can stab it through people's skulls and DRINK their brains.
