Hope you feel better soon, man. Hopefully it's also not covid, though, it seems everyone is getting it right now. Everyone in my extended family has gotten it in the last 10 days. And, numbers are pretty high in the US since the 23rd as well. I'm just gonna hole up in my apartment and channel my inner Jack Torrance for a few more days to be safe, I think.

makes it look as though I just got done watching the dog die in (name any movie containing a dog death)

I dare you to try and cry when you see the dead dog in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. Once it's shown as an undead dog, it looks like a Playstation 2 graphic. You better be bringing some pee to throw into your eyes or something to cheat, otherwise, that shit ain't happening.

Anyways, Happy New Year!
