Friday night, I tell Jacqui that I think I may be coming down with a cold (GASP!). I refuse the 10 different magical pills she tries to force down my throat, offering instead to drink an extra cup of tea for dinner. The next morning, I wake up to find that breakfast has been left for me on my desk…my sniffles apparently have me bed-ridden.
The comfort food? Tea, toast, cheese and (of course) a serving of cake:
Chilean comfort food
Though I was a bit embarrassed by so much concern, it was nevertheless very sweet. Especially since, because I wasn’t on my death bed, I was able to appreciate the fact that I was getting to eat cake for breakfast!
oh my god yes! welcome to the world of breakfast in bed and cake at all times of the day. i too have received the breakfast in bed due to the sniffles treatment–although i remember my serving of cake being a little smaller. lame. come to my house though and we can eat brownies for breakfast even when we´re not sick.
p.s. yes i´m really bored (i.e. at my internship) so make more entries to entertain me! wahooooo.

“What Element Are You?” with the result Molybdenum.
You have an atomic number of 42. You are grey metallic, and are probably not a friend of water. You are a rare breed. Your eukaryotic friends need you, and in great amounts at a time. You are environmentally friendly, as you are known to be around fertilizer and pollution controls. Too bad you are so scarce, you hinder the development of everybody close to you!.
thought you should be the first to know the good news!

Enjoy it while you can. Now that you’ve confessed you’re fully functional during a little bout of cold or a little round of pneumonia, we’ll put you to work preparing breakfast in bed for your elders…who deserve every ounce of respect you can muster.
