Jim Henson diagnosed himself with the flu. He was wrong. He is dead.
Q.E.D.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

AFAIK the flu shot only innoculates you against one or two strains, and since we don't have a vaccine for the scary bird flu, that won't be one of them.
This is true. However, there still may be a small amount of protection from regular flu shots. That said, from everything I've read, the best protection is washing your hands frequently, for about 30 seconds per wash, with warm water and soap.
I was going to be off to a reception and Twelfth Night, but my friend got sick and cancelled. Now, I just have a meeting. But I may have time to work on LJ this evening, so I'm not sad.

Being sick all this time is really darkening up your dark side.
Which wasn't so filled with silver lining to start with.

Apparently the effectiveness of flu shots declines dramatically with age. They're more than 80% effective in children, dropping down as far as the twenties for people in their 70s. Kind of interesting really.

How do people feel about cranberry relish? I always make it by grinding cranberries coarsely with oranges, peels and all and just enough sugar to take the edge off.

I like it at around 1:47 a.m., by the light of the fridge, with a furtive spoon.

I really like cranberry liqueur.
Emmett's godmother made it one year as a xmas giveaway and it was fantastic, particularly since she left a lot of chopped up cranberry at the bottom which became this delicious liqueur soaked relish that was sensational on vanilla ice cream.

Hah! I usually can only handle a few spoonfuls at a time (the flavor is just so intense) but that describes it well. Usually, I'd make it a day before, using frozen crans (by putting through one of those cast hand crank grinders you clamp to the table- lots of satisfying pops! and juice gushing into a bowl situated on the floor) and then have to guard the fridge and use multiple containers stashed behind the turkey to prevent it from being depleted before the meal.
I ought to steal my mom's grinder. Only used a few times a year, and mostly by me.
