Is it Wednesday already?  I’ve recovered almost all the way from the flu, though I’m going to be honest, it was rough!  That fever lasted until Saturday (that’s an eight day long fever, in case anyone is keeping track), and then all I could do was sleep, as if I was permanently encased in quicksand.  Did I mention my doctor called me on the phone to tell me my WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT WAS LOW?  Yeah, that "malaise" and "aches and pains" feeling you get when you have the flu is really the feeling of a virus eating your white cells.  So, that’s fun.  I now know of two other young and healthy people who got the flu shot, then got the flu anyway.  Watch out!  Wear one of those surgical masks if you have to, dude.  The flu will eat you alive!   It’s a zombie flu!

Oh, you did hear about these pictures?  Well, maybe you should go over and take a look.  Because it’s not creepy AT ALL that Lindsay Lohan is doing the same poses with the same photographer that Marilyn Monroe did about a month before she died.  Nope, not creepy one bit.  Also, I think it’s a little weird that picture # 2 in this series is a montage of the actual Marilyn shoot, so we can all scratch our heads and go "wow, Lindsay Lohan really doesn’t even come close to filling Marilyn Monroe’s shoes!" or maybe "Wow, the star power of today’s stars doesn’t even compare!"  Although, maybe I’m missing the point of this photo shoot.  As Stephan said, "Who cares?  You could bounce a quarter off of Lindsay Lohan’s ass!"

Also, is it wrong of me to say that I think Lindsay Lohan has WAY too many freckles to do a naked photo shoot like this?  I am officially authorized to speak on freckles and pale skin, and I say– yikes!   Finally, I don’t know why her mom/ manager felt compelled to speak out about how she thought the naked photo shoot was "in good taste" and "artistic."  Like, since when are we taking her word about what’s in good taste?

And…. now that I have my wits about me again, I have to go back to writing.  Thank you one and all for your wishes of good health.
