I got a crazy-ass rash from penicillin that looked basically like google is telling me rubella looks like, so.

How miserable, Jessica. At least it's called three-day measles for a reason.

He's probably the most vaccinated of any of us, since he grew up in various countries all over South Asia. So he got all the regular US childhood stuff plus all the international travel shots. Typhoid, etc.

Dude, my next trip to NY needs to have WAY more than a quick lunch at NBC with you two!!!!!!

Ugh, stupid cold. I can't stop sneezing and blowing my nose. I had to hose myself down with Purell three times while I was at Target.

Now I'm trying to decide what to make for dinner.

It was driving me crazy that the bizarre wife in the Shamrock Shake commercial looked so familiar, and I just realized who she is -- the blonde from Center Stage (which just started on Logo). Also, baby!Zoe Saldana is adorable in this.

There's nothing like moving your laundry from the washer to the dryer in front of your apartment manager to make you realise just how many of your panties are pink and frilly. And the answer is: I never want to look at him again.

Tom has just informed me that he would be OK with a second line if the brass bands played Brit pop. Like, "Common People" or "Stupidly Happy" or "Mr. Blue Sky."

My second line will be all awesomeness for like a week. ALL THE MUSIC AND DANCING AND EATING AND DRINKING.

I have possibly overly dramatic but near loathing for antivax. Because they don't want to get the diseases, they want everyone else in the herd to get the vax and protect them. It lacks understanding of how herd immunity is supposed to work - by every person who can getting the damn vax.

Rage.

So many issues these days are leaving me with the "you have GOT to be fucking kidding me!?!" response. I have no idea how to get through November without saying unfortunate things to people who I should probably not be paying attention.

The other day as I was pulling into work I heard the start of an ad/PSA with Amanda Peet, she was talking about her child(ren?) and making the decision about vaccines. At first I thought it was going to be anti-vax, but it was pro-vaccine and was mentioned polio in Africa and measles and whooping cough in Europe and America.

After Googling I think it was for Vaccinate Your Baby. [link]

Huh. My old krav school made it into the evening news with a "get the training the elite soldiers get" teaser. Problem with TiVo, is that I never get the news show that they tease. But I saw Junior and Mike. Good on them.
