Cuz I got nothing better to post / OHWAITYESIDO, an hour later
I am a simple woman, with simple priorities, and it runs in the family. I was reminded of this again this morning, talking to my mother. There's no escaping turning into our parents, I suppose. *sigh* Might as well go with it.
(I can't remember if I posted this one before... but anyway. The mispelling in the first pannel is deliberate... it's trying to emulate the accent most Frenchies have around here when they speak English, hehehe. ^_-)
***************************************************************************************************************
So yeah, comic aside, it wouldn't be a normal xangabloggingyear without a certain special time of the season during which I really come alive. A time when like the holidays, I show my true colors in my interactions with other human beings.
Oh no, not Valentine's Day. (Though fuck that, too.)
I speak of FLU SEASON. More particularly, stomach flu season. As I've posted about before, I'm morbidly afraid of throwing up, therefore gastro, or stomach flu, in English, is the bane of my existence. (YOUR BODY'S JUST NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT, OK? EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS UNNATURAL, LIKE BARNEY!!)
And now, because some damn fool of a co-worker decided to pro-create and send his little mutant to a public school where all the filthy, nose-picking, phlegm-sharing, poop-eating little troglodytes live, his entire family is sick with gastro, I just learned. And even though my interaction with him is minimal and the chances of me catching it are almost nil, he has successfully caused me to revert to OCD-Paranoia-Hermit Liz mode.
A cold? No problem. Sinusitis? No worries. Bronchitis? Too bad, but I'll take care of you. Pneumonia.. you poor thing, you have my sympathies. Stomach flu you say?
GAHHH STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! *throws all available objects at people/sacks of pustulent, contagious, mindless infection, and hides under blanket in bed, where she will stay until May.*

DISCOUNT SUSHI CARD!!!! Nooooooooo!!!!
Haha! Cute! Although, I've never been to a place that offered a sushi discount card.
@manilajones - Yeh, it's a local joint in my hometown which ironically has some of the best sushi ev4r, even though the Asian population of my town is like... 0,02% hahha. They give you free sushi after like... 12 visits. It's more of a loyalty card, I guess, but meh, lol.
I have a secret sushi place near my house that serves $1 sushi and $3 rolls - AND they deliver!
love the cartoon.
@MaximMan - *jawdrops* ..... I...... I...... HOW IS SUCH A THING POSSIBLE!?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm on the next train, watch for me.
Ha! Nice.
Your reactions to stomach-flu are strangely harrowing when one is reading José Saramago's Blindness...
@CallMeQuell - I wish I were intellectual enough to know what that was, haha.
@nimbusthedragon - Ooh, it's cool, read it. Saramago got a Nobel Prize for it. It's a creepy book about people who go blind epidemically--it's like a contagious infection, even thought it's blindness, and they see all white, not all black...and I haven't finished, but essentially it's about the blindness-stricken people living in an insane asylum where the government put them until further notice, and their slow descent into madness and disorder. Sounds cliché and dumb because I give shitty synopses, but it's very well written and very cool. I recommend it.
@CallMeQuell - That sounds pretty kickass, actually. My kinda story. (I like weird, suspensy, psychological stuff, haha) Thanks for the recommendation!
Dumb question of the day: Did you make the cartoon yourself?
@nimbusthedragon - Hurrah! Then you'll love this. You're welcome :D
@Amandasbiggestfan - Sure did. All by my lonesome, even.
DISCOUNT SUSHI?!!?
SUE ME!
Time to stock up on masks, rubber gloves and Purell. Don't touch the poles in the metro! You'd be a terrible politician...all those day-cared babies you'd have to kiss...
fyi, it ain't discount but try Sakura Garden or Maiko if you like sushi.
@tetrahydride -
Haha, Sakura's is my second home lol.... Never heard of Maika though. I love Takara when I'm feeling rich, hahaha
i can deal with puking. it's not being able to breathe that i hate. eff colds and bronchitis and all that junk.
@porcupinesol - speaking of sick... are you feeling better?
@nimbusthedragon - no, worse. *dies*
I hope you don't catch anything then.
That comic made me smile.
Its moments like that that I wish I had inherited some of my brother's talent for drawing.
cute comic!
lovely comic ^^
