My friend Andy recently launched Iowawebawards.com which is an effort to be the Iowan version of the Webby Awards. I think this is a great idea and it should draw some attention and some involvement from the Des Moines community. They still do need to settle on some categories so go over and chime in.
I was lucky enough to work up a logo for him. I think it turned out pretty good. Check it out!
Well since last Thursday I’ve been feeling absolutely horrible. I’ve had multiple fevers (most pretty low), the shakes and shivers, sweats, hot flashes, stomach cramps/aches, bad two-sies, sore throat and runny nose etc. I finally feel a little better this week. Monday I went to the ‘doctor’ about 10am up at the Family Practice Center at St. Mary of Nazareth Hospital Center near my house. They asked me tons of questions and by the end, just told me that I had a ‘viral infection’. Go figure, my symptoms aren’t really all that different from a cold or the flu. He prescribed me some extra strength IB Proffin (which I was like ‘yeah right’) I didn’t fill.
Then today I was reading in the Red-Eye (this link goes to the Tribune - same thing) about someone who sued a Chicago Restaurant because he got a tapeworm from some uncooked fish and they had a little symptoms chart next to it. It had exactly all the same symptoms and shit I’ve been going through all weekend.
Do I have a tapeworm? Could it be? I have fought the urge to go research pics of what they look like because I’ll probably get disgusted (then if I DID have one, really really freak out because I looked up the pictures). Well I’m proud to report, nothing has PASSED (if you know what I mean) so I’m pretty sure that I’m in the clear on the tapeworm front. But if your now dying for wormy facts, read more on the lovely things here.
