It's me, John!  I figured it was high-time to show my text-face around here, so here it be.
 

As Ananth Plagos'D the apartment, I made the most of my germ-ridden inability to be productive and watched Yuko play Wind Waker.  And then consequently watched her draw this comic.  These are obviously busy times.

I have a hypothesis that the horrible cloud of pepper-smoke I accidentally made a couple weeks ago had something to do with precipitating a month of disease and lung irritation.  Just a thought.
