swine flu

i am blogging from the hamptons--and will be back home tomorrow evening. when i left a few days ago--the swine flu news was "new" and now it's become my mainstay from every channel i watch. i'm not scared of going home to good ole brooklyn. but people here don't even talk about it.

i ordered 60 n-95 respirator masks online and they should arrive mid-next week. i will probably hit the cvs here in southampton before i head home tomorrow as well. i don't care how dorky i look--i will be wearing one while riding the subways! besides, my roommate was coughing and hacking the night before i left--i might want to wear one around the house too!

i've always carried around hand sanitizer so that was nothing new, but i have stocked up as well. i use this one:


i also take the new chapter organics "every woman's one daily" and the new chapter organics "immunity take care." i think i've done pretty much all i can do to prevent--so now, whatever happens, happens!

although i really should get on that living will thing. perhaps i'm getting paranoid, but i'm coughing slightly and i have a slight headache. we'll see!

THANK GOD FOR AMERICAN IDOL AND ADAM LAMBERT! way to keep my spirits up. where others have failed you have come through.

life changes

i feel like i should do a lot of things towards securing a more stable future for myself. as if the economy isn't enough of a worry there's now swine flu. i was so busy glaring at the pigeons flying around me that i overlooked george clooney's former pet.

damn it.

i am going out and buying myself one of those hospital masks in the next couple of days. my roommate tripped in coughing something fierce yesterday night and i left this morning for my 3 day trek to the hamptons. so hopefully when i get back she isn't a mess all over the place and at least quarantines herself in her room a little. so i think sometime in the next few weeks i'm going to create a living will sort of thing. i actually now have assets to protect--imagine that!

anyhow, looking forward to a few movies. as intelligent as i am, i'm not so pretentious as to claim to only watch foreign flicks or whatever. i LOVE summer blockbusters. lovem--the more action, the better. hey, i was raised on foreign kung fu flicks!

--star trek
--terminator salvation
--wolverine
--harry potter and the half blood prince
--up
--angels and demons
--transformers revenge of the fallen

so i am basically going to be spending my entire summer at the theatre--or at least--the VERY HOT days. there's usually 3 times where there are 3 day stretches of interminably hot i-want-to-shoot-myself-and-everyone-else weather here in nyc.
