Well, I've been out of commision for a week. I got sick. I watched so much television I'm surprised I'm still able to function at a semi-collegiate level. Getting over being sick is really cool though, because it feels like you've just taken on a real asshole of an enemy and came out on the better end.

I really got to thinking about that at work today. Being sick is like having an epic battle take place in your body. You have the home team versus the away team, the defenders versus the invaders. You have this army of entities inside of you, fighting off this monstrous horde that has come to rape and desecrate the natural ecological balance that exists within you. You're like a planet that provides meaning and resources for all of the life that is in your body in exchange for all the parts doing their job. We're really amazing little microcosms unto ourselves when you think about it.
