Well, seems Dungeons and Dragons Online is getting a new server, which rules. Still playing Guild Wars, doing different stuff, beating the hell out of various things and people for little to no reason...the usual.
However, on to a more topical...topic, I'm going to talk about this swine flu scare. Why? Because I want to.
Honestly, swine flu, aka H1N1, isn't the new "super virus" that everyone is so worried about. You wanna know who typically dies from this disease? Who else but very young children and the elderly; or, in other terms, those with either not-fully-developed or weakened (due to age or disease re HIV) immune systems. Every disease has this potential. Every disease. Its just the common flu with a few new bells and whistles. As for the vaccine? If you don't want to have to take off work or school (who in their right mind wouldn't, though?), then get one. Its just like every other vaccine out there. The only reason they are making metric fucktons of it is because people are pissing acid from the fear that dumbasses like Bill O'Riley and Faux Noise create.
What do you do if you happen to get swine flu? Stay home, get plenty of rest, and drink some juice. Maybe watch some TV or play a few rounds of Tetris or something.
The only time any flu has been a real big problem was in the early 20th century during that fuckoff huge Spanish flu outbreak where hundreds of thousands of people died. Nowadays, we have things like aspirin, NyQuil, and pseudoephedrine that make things like the flu nothing more than a moderate annoyance and a good way to get out of school for a few days. So don't worry, sure, you'll have a headache, you'll cough, and you'll wheeze, but chances are, you won't die.
