For the first time in forever, my skin is actually normal temperature. I don't really know where my frost aura is right now. Maybe it's recharging or something. I wasn't really up to wobbling my way to class, so I am going to be way behind on my reading. Not that going to class would do me much good, since I'm producing so much snot that it has blocked off my EARS. What the hell is that about? Evolution FAIL. How much mucus can the human body produce anyway? I need to call Ectoplasmid and ask for my powers back, because clearly I've somehow stolen hers. Blegh. Whatever I have seems to be working its way around campus. No hospitalization, but a hell of a lot of head colds and puking. The guy living above me throws up every hour on the hour. I have timed that damned flush. ALL NIGHT. If I weren't feeling so rotten, I would have crawled up the stairs and flushed his head down the toilet by now. Yes, I am mean, self-pitying, and callous to the suffering of others right now. I hate the entire damned world and I wish someone would build a doomsday device and put me out of my misery.
Okay, pity party over. Thanks for tuning in.
Now for something completely different, who's been watching the news? I have to admit, I've always had a bit of a crush on El Coyote, but now? I want to bake him a million chocolate chip cookies, tenderly wrap them in sparkly tissue paper, and mail them to Monterrey with a love note in every box. I've been replaying that clip on Youtube all day. What can I say, I'm a sucker for eloquent speeches. Besides being a perfect excuse to listen to his voice, it's a gorgeously structured and flawlessly logical argument (you think he's a lawyer? I'd love to see him in a suit), and it's about damn time someone smacked down all the anti-Mexican hysteria about everyone's favorite flu. 'Mexican flu' indeed. Seriously, some people will use any excuse to justify bigotry. FOX pundits have been stammering about his press release all day. Ten to one they interview Golden Eagle tomorrow in the name of 'a fair and balanced view.'

You and my mother... I don't really get the big deal about El Coyote. I understand that it's good to have one's nationality represented on the international stage, but the guy gets placed on a pedestal as an emblem to Latin-Americans everywhere. Nevermind that he's one of like thirteen Mexican-originated Internationals, and one of thirty Latin Americans to reach that particular "rank." I gotta wonder if he really wants all the excess attention we give him here in the states. Of course, the fact that he willingly plays up to certain stereotypes every now and again might hint at one answer.
ReplyDeleteOh well. Better health to you, at least. Enjoy the news' many, many replications of the press conference.
Of course the guy's gonna be a spokesman. I mean, how many of those teams and outreach centers has he started up? It's just, I really respect the fact that he's still based in Mexico instead of running off to Shining Citadel or space or whatever. It's just like every decent superhero ever bails out of Florida at the first opportunity. Everyone always forgets that like half of the original Starstriker lineup was from Tampa.
