Unbelievable news! It turns out trying to make up for an unhealthy diet by taking pills is possibly ineffective. Despite the obvious solution of boiling down various foods to suck out specific nutrients and putting them into tiny pieces of plastic and eating them, some stubborn people, when held to a scientific study with controls for reporting errors and the like, refused to be healthier than people who did not ingest the nutrient derivatives. Biased industry-fed researchers are now making bizarre claims that if you want to be healthy, you have to eat a healthy diet because...get this...your body is better at sucking healthy nutrients out of actual foods in which they are found. They even recommend eating fruits and veggies. Where do they get these renegades?

Your mileage may vary for calcium and some b vitamins

WHINE! I'm sick, still, worse. WHINE! I'm at work, acting as the Branch Chief and Division Director so I can't even call out sick. WHINE! I'm doing drugs, but not antibiotics. I feel awful. WHINE! Soon I go home and...I dunno, microwave anything, drink mint tea, and wrap myself in blankets until I vanish. Bleah.

In one of the Anne Rice trash novels, before she went all wacky religious, there is a scene where a fresh vampire (Lestat?) crawls through a sea of rotting corpses. They note that there is no concern, no grossing out, as he can no longer be affected by disease. I feel the same way right now - sure someone might have touched that doorknob - but what am I worried about? I am already sick. Fear me, for it is I that bears the curse. I cannot shed it, but I can share it without lightening my load...

Today I have lake champlain chocolates likely at my door - only I won't eat them because I won't taste them. Can't even enjoy sin when you're sick.
