Oops.

So, I accidentally put my phone through the rinse cycle. (Tech tip of the day: don't do this). I have heard tales of electronics surviving this kind of abuse; mine did not. For those keeping score, this is the second death-by-water experienced by one of my phones, and the second major electronic device I've destroyed in as many months out here in California. Laptop? DS? I love you guys but you should probably be on guard around me.

We spent the day helping at a clinic handing out H1N1 vaccines. It was at a high school. High schools out here are weird, by the way. They're more like mini colleges, with lots of buildings spread out over a campus. I guess it makes sense in a state with no real winter, and where most school buildings were built after 1800.

But the vaccine. Against my better judgement, I got one. I don't know why I was so against it. Maybe I was afraid of contributing to the evolving super virus, or didn't want the government's brainwashing serum in me. But they gave it to me in nasal spray form. What a great idea these things are! Where were they when I was a kid? Maybe if I didn't have some nurse stabbing me with the ferocity of a serial killer back at the pediatrician's, I wouldn't be so mortified about going to the doctor today.

Anyway, enjoy getting H1N1, suckers!*

*you probably will not get H1N1
