A very funny video, especially for the ladies, that Colleen Doran placed on her Patreon page this morning:

Sleeping Sickness
This is my second cold in six months. Both times came after being indoors, in a crowded public place, with many people. No surprise there. As then, I checked for Covid with a negative result.
Yesterday, I must have slept 16 hours. Today, I’m on track for doing the same. This afternoon I’m finally starting to feel better.
In other personal medical news, there’s that pre-cancerous spot on my ankle. Here’s how it looked shortly after being treated with liquid nitrogen, and how it looks now. Which is pretty much how it looked when I first showed it to the dermatologist.
P.S. Colleen Doran reports that she’s tested positive for Covid after appearing at GalaxyCon in Richmond. It seems these formerly seasonal viruses have become a year-round threat.
Shiver Me Timbers
Following up on my NH-acquired cold, last night I started feeling cold. I just couldn’t get warm then, just as I was going to bed, the uncontrollable shivering hit. It pulled a muscle in my thigh so hard that this morning I had to rub it to walk without a limp. I was hoping to see Project Hail Mary today, but that isn’t going to happen.
The New Hampshire Cold
Last Sunday, at the Funspot arcade in Laconia, New Hampshire, I was amongst many families with children. So I wasn’t surprised when, on Wednesday, I felt a sore throat coming on. Now there’s sneezing and coughing to go along with it. My usual temperature is about 97.7. It’s presently 98.8.
No Uncertainty About Undercity
Monte Schulz has written a follow-up to his dense and mesmerizing novel Metropolis. I’ve pre-ordered a copy of Undercity and have updated Monte’s entry in the links section.
Tarnished Tinsel Town
This overview of Hollywood today is an appropriately slick production. As with many other industries, it seems unlikely to ever fully recover from the pandemic. Just the fact we’re all watching these 10-15 minute YouTube videos is a big part of the problem.
