News from Africa/Happy Birthday to me!

Alright, today is my birthday, and a good (if dim) day it is indeed. I've recieved news from my mates african family. In nigeria this plague is going down quite badly, they have a vaccine, ut there's also an infectious vaccine, so no-one's really sure if it's safe to take it.

Rumours suggest that the plague started in several medical facilities. It's a plague based on smallpox, but significantly more airborne.

In lighter news, one of my favourite comics finally got around to address the issue of the dark sun. It's an interesting strip, and it's true, the people of this world seem to have somewhat collapsed since the Dark Sun came. I don't konw. All I do know is I was out too late last night to stay up now, I just had to let you know about the phonecall that awoke me.

I know, I know, I shouldn't be happy given all the shite going down in the world. But I managed to be happy last year with people around the world starving, so what's the difference really? And this may be the last chance I get for a happy birthday.
