The Cold That Wasn’t

Man, I feel like I dodged a bullet this week. I think it was Tuesday that I stopped at Costco and got my flu shot. They only cost $20 there, and it’s on my way home. Needless to say a lot of people at work have been coughing and sniffing recently. ‘Tis the season as they say, so Thursday I started to feel that familiar tickle down the back of my throat, and by Friday the 13th, that tickle became rather unpleasant.

As I entered the weekend, I braced for what I fully expected to be a case of the crud. I cleaned my sinuses in the sink, took some Sudafed (the stuff that you sign for), took some vitamins, and ate some comfort food before going to bed. To my delight, I awoke without even a trace of symptoms. I felt… good. And that’s better than I usually feel.

This Sunday morning was was the same. No cold symptoms. I’m relieved, but still a little nervous. No one likes to get sick, but it’s one of those things that some of us have a hard time avoiding. Eventually I’m going to wipe my eye after touching a contaminated surface, and before you know it, I’ll be sick as a dog.

But for now I’m grateful. I have my health, and I don’t feel like existence is pain. I hope you feel just as well.

George is on vacation, so let’s thank that sick puppy Glenn for the jokes this week. Yes, nothing says Christmas like a bunch of dirty jokes. Won’t you please consider sending some non-prurient humor to our submission page or flush2x@gmail.com?

The Binge

If you hang out in the wrong parts of the internet, there are a lot of people talking about all the new streaming services and the shows on them. Isn’t that just great? Well one of the shows people won’t shut up about is “Gravity Falls”, and I’ve wasted my entire weekend watching this dreck. I’m not even halfway through, and now I’m probably going to waste a bunch of my evenings during the work week to finish up the series because I have no self-control.

Of course I can’t just enjoy a show like normal people. I have to beat myself up whenever they say something incredibly funny and clever. I mean, why can’t I be that funny? Damn them for being professionals at their craft! Seriously, there’s some funny shit in that series, and I can see why people won’t shut up about it.

As good as the show is, there’s still the problem of my binge-watching. I should be getting things done, such as writing comics, or perhaps selling my dog to a cosmetic testing facility. Of course, rather than take responsibility for my life, I’m going to blame corporations because of their blatant disregard for my personal weaknesses.

Maybe this Christmas I should ask Santa for another 75″ 4K TV so I can binge watch 2 series at the same time!

Binge responsibly.
