The answer should be not as cute as me!!!!

Translated into "manspeak", that is exactly what he said.

LOL! Justine is lurking.

Phen if you bring home a wife does that mean I have to move out?

 

[THE Phen]

Hahhaaha. I don't see myself bringing home a wife, don't worry. LOL.

 

[iSpoon]

Don't worry... I'll have an extra bedroom.

The bro-mance between you two is too strong for that to happen. (lol2)

 

[Pmpkinhead]

I (we) have an extra room, do you clean the house for compensation?

 

[THE Phen]

Well, I haven't updated this in a while.

Yeah, no real updates. I managed to get Swine Flu here and have been locked up in the apartment for the last week. Lots of fun that is.

I got it last year during fall semester. I started feeling a bit bad on Wed, felt worse Thursday, and I went to bed early that night, which I never do. I did watch Resident Evil on youtube that night thought. That detail is relevant because I had fever dreams and thought there were zombies in my basement. I woke up at 2:30 in the morning, my bed soaked with sweat and I was almost hallucinating. I thought I was Ender from Ender's Game and I thought I'd blown up Earth and I was the only person left alive in the whole universe. What was weirder was that I thought the war in space was between Apple and Windows... It took me a few minutes to crawl across the hall to the bathroom and haul myself up to the sink to drink some water. I dragged myself upstairs the next morning (Friday) because we were having a new floor put in or something, but it hurt too much to be awake, so I went back to sleep. I think I woke up Saturday sometime, then. At any rate, I slept for 30 of a possible 36 hours, and went back to school on Monday.

It hit me so fast, and left almost as quickly.

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah, really similar here. It just hurt to lay there. Sucked hard core.

 

[Fiji Mazda3]

Sounds like when I had Pneumonia last year. It's like you lose solid two weeks of your life. (lol2)

 

[iSpoon]

I've never gotten sick to where I had to lay down. Normally it's just something small that I take advil, or a halls, and I'm good to go.

I very rarely get sick beyond sniffles or something mild, and I made lots of jokes about swine flu before I got it, but it knocked me out so fast. I could easily see how people died from it, especially if they were already compromised by another illness.

 

[Reitrof]

Phen, any idea when you are heading home??

 

[Coppertone]

Phen, any idea when you are heading home??

i believe December 13, from what i recall ... sure hope the date still stands. we miss our Phen!!

 

[THE Phen]

That is my current target date... unless I hear something else. I'm getting to the point where I'm ready to come home. I'm still having fun, but I also know that Christmas is coming soon and I want to be home for that.

 

[Perro del Sol]

Will you have to return? Hopefully not and if you do it will be for a couple of weeks, not 4 months!

 

[THE Phen]

I'm not sure if I'll have to return any time soon. Maybe, but if I do, it won't be until they land a new project.

 

[jri4]

Just throwing this out there: How about a 'Welcome Back' get together at the Winking Lizard sometime during the week of Jan 2 to Jan 8? I'm sure some who care will see you sooner than that (not saying I don't care, LOL, but I am NOT just a 5 minute drive away) but that would give you a few weeks and the holidays with your family and then start the beer tour and you can show off your mail-order bridetell us all about your trip after the new year! Pick a date and time and I'll do my best, although Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday afternoon/evenings work best for me...

 

[THE Phen]

Haha. I like that idea man. Once it's confirmed that I'm home, we'll start a thread. How's that?


Oh, important progress to note. I just reviewed my Stumble Inn Beer Tour list...

75 / 100 complete. Yeah, I'm running that s***. I think i started the tour on October 23rd. At least that's when my first pictures of the beer were taken. 75 beers in a little over a month. I'd say that's pretty decent.

 

[THE Phen]

Oh... I just remembered... usually you can't sign up for the tour yet at that time. Middle of the month is when things start up.
