my stunt double

I stayed home from school today so now I have to make up a day at the end. I wish I could stay home the rest of the week.

I had a fever last night so this morning I still felt like crap. J. left to go to the dentist and then brought back ten different kinds of remedies (Emergen-C tastes like crap but TheraFlu isn't too bad.) and a big box of kleenex and a Cosmo. He says Olivia Wilde is my stunt double, and the other day he texted me to tell me I was on the cover of Cosmo for April.
Do you see it? Don't bother looking at her in Cosmo because for one thing they wrapped her in a fishing net? And then on another page she was dressed in some weird tee shirt held together with safety pins and some short shorts. WTF. I am pretty sure I have no idea what anyone was thinking during that photo shoot.

I guess if I was skinny and had a concave nose instead of a convex nose.And if someone else did my eyebrows and I wore a little eye makeup.
A long time ago in college someone compared me to Tatjana Patitz... the nose is more like mine.
And recently I was compared to Greer Garson. (I had to google her.)


So I was laying in bed today having slept about 18 hours and reading the less gross parts of Cosmo (some of it just turns my stomach) and I read something funny today. Chelsae Handler from Chelsae Lately wrote a little thingy about missing work and how if a woman has a male boss, anything to do with the vagina will work as an excuse to miss work. If you call in, she said, tell him you think you pulled something down there, you're good. However, she said, if your boss is a woman, just go in anyway even if you are really sick. Women never let other women get away with anything.

This is true. I had to have a man suggest I stay home. If it had just been me I would have dragged myself out there. Or maybe not. I do feel horrible. I should go to bed now.

I like to listen to this guy, at one point in the video  he's howling. I would like a little feathery capelet like his. What is that? Pheasant feathers? For some reason the first video reminds me of the next video.

I've just had a week of fevers myself (and some brutal, just-kill-me congestion). I hope you're 100% soon.
