I'll have the soup. What'll you have, King Louis?

Imagine a bullfrog puffing up. Yeah -- that's what my throat feels like right now.

I am sick thanks to a particularly virulent strain of Gainesville germs. See, if you live in a college town, you become acclimated to the various airborne diseases floating around. However, if exposed to the airborne diseases from another college down, those germs will carpet bomb your body and break you down.

I need tea. I need soup. I need Love Actually. Luckily, The Best Friend is bringing me tortilla soup from Qdoba and Love Actually from Blockbuster when he comes home from class. He's a good man.

Cinco Linkos: Five random blips you should check out.

• Uno -- airbrushing has become so standard in the media now that nobody looks like their photographs. Seeing as how I feel about as aestheically appealing as say, Britney Spears right now, I figured this link was more than apropos.
• Dos -- Keeping with the whole 'rape and pillage my childhood theme' [I've noticed that almost everything I ever loved as a child is now bad -- Hot Topic has ruined my favorite movies via mass merchandising, Bob Saget is now performing 'edgy' comedy (it's not so much edgy as it is profanity-laced and we all know I have no problems with dropping f-bombs)], check out Robot Chicken's take on Calvin and Hobbes.
• Tres -- Check out E!'s new show Starveillance. If for no other reason than to hear Tom Cruise say, "Incredible, tiny, goo-covered miracle. I love this baby! Whoo!"
• Cuatro -- I discovered this guy courtesy of The Boyfriend [who, Billy Joel fixation aside, has really good taste in music]. Check out Sideways and Teresa.
• Cinco -- Holiday scented goodies. I'm a sucker for anything that smells yummy. Although, I am a bit iffy about the peppermint.
