The other week Melissa said I made an appearance in a dream of hers with a green-legged woman. I think it’s good that we visit each other in our sleep. Besides, IRC always seems more surreal to me than any dream I’ve ever had.

Just the other night I dreamt I was in the same room as EMC, who I’ve never met in my life and only know about from his comments on your blog. In my dream, he was a midget with a huge head and that we were communicating only through IRC on our respective laptops

The reason I think my brain thought he was a midget is that my only image of him is his head on his gravatar and my brain could not imagine his voice, hence the IRC.

You see what you started.

Oso,
Well the prick of the needle barely felt like anything, and I did begin to feel better. I tend to get really bad colds that last for a couple of weeks, but after I got the shot I stopped having a cough/sore throat and only had to deal with lots of sneezing. And damn, my nose hurts ’cause I didn’t have tissue paper and that Mexican toilet paper is rough!

I actually used to get yelled at all the time by my mom and dad, and still do, for walking around barefoot at home. We have tile and it does get cold, but I like being barefoot too. But in Mexico the floors feel even colder, maybe you have thick skin on your patas de oso, but when I’m sick I do take care not to walk around barefoot.

Cindylu,

Amen sista. Who was it that said the automatic treatment for the simple flu is three shots – with three inch needles – in the ass? I’m all for bio-anthropolgical diversity and cultural sovereignty, but someone needs to set these people straight on the fact that ass stabbing has gone out of vogue.

Also, what up with Latino flu-foot fetish? When I’m sick – as when I’m well – I don’t wear shoes. No big thing amongst my anglo friends. But if one of my friends down in Mexico catches me barefoot, it’s as if I just stepped on a landmine: “Ai mijo! Mirate! Todo resfriado y andas descalzo. Andale, ponte zapatos!”

At least you weren’t sick while on vacation, nor did you have to get an inyección in the ass.

Xolo,

Hilarious.

Joel,

Thanks man. I’m feeling much better know so the hallucinatory humor is out the door. Have a great new years.

Oso, I’ve never been so entertained by someone’s illness in my life… I hope you feel better, but I love those crazy “I’m sick and sleeping for 12 straight hours” dreams.

I answer your question on my blog as well as offering you a tasty recipe that should help you get over any lingering symptoms.

You guys are the greatest. With your loving comments and my second bowl of sopa azteca, I’m well on my way to normalcy. So much so that I’m gonna head up to LA tomorrow to get rowdy with my peeps.

DD,

No sabia que eres cura. Your suggestion brought me back to my days of Acambaro, Guanajuato where I endured raw eggs and more thanks to some street tortas and a nasty stomach virus.

Shimonkey,

Do I get hot brandy when you get back? I can feign sickness if needs be.

Rayluv,

If you woulda come down to Los for New Year’s I woulda given you some good cuddling. Then again, your 323 ladies woulda gotten upset. My yankee guy friends tell me they love me and my argentinean guy friends give me a kiss on the cheek. The post-homophobia era is so great. Even HP sends me besos.

EM,

I’m glad you’re back blogging. I know what you mean about blog skimming. I have to do it for Global Voices. There’s no way I could read so many blogs if I read them at normal pace. But then sometimes I keep skimming even when I’m reading the blogs of my friends. I gotta remind myself to slow down and enjoy what I always enjoy … like the difference between how black people and white people make cool aid.

I still want to know what chochitos are.
