i am sniffly and sneezing again, which annoys me to no end. luke was sick again last week, and i almost posted a blog joking about how i had about 7 to 10 days of health before i was struck down again. oh, how i wish i was wrong. almost everyone i know has been sick at least twice this winter and i think that's partially because the weather/temperature here in los angeles has fluctuated crazily (as in 45ish degrees one day and 80 the next) and partially because everyone is hugely stressed about the economy and thus more susceptible to disease. factor in that luke and i both work in schools with tiny children and you apparently have a recipe for disaster. i've been on a strict cold-eeze regiment and although i did get a little sick, i still think my beloved zinc tablets have prevented me from getting terribly so. i did, however, have to leave the tar pits early today, which upset me a lot because i haven't been able to go for a few weeks and i really wanted to get my fill of mammoth bones. as it was, though, i was getting up almost constantly to blow my nose, which gets tedious when your hands are covered in sticky tar and dirt, and is fairly embarrassing when the lab you're leaking snot into looks like this:
when sitting in a paleontology lab surrounded by glass inside a museum that just received a ton of great press and has a bazillion new visitors coming to peer inside at you, you want to look professional and intelligent and not like you are a terrible snot monster.
in related news, here's a link to a video of trevor, whose tar pits fame scored us both free drinks at baja today, discussing the new mammoth find on g4:
