Before I go into how the flu has changed me, I should probably give you some background information.

My pile of laundry grows like bamboo, and the countertops of my apartment have never been touched by a disinfecting wipe.
As a staunch supporter of the Hollywood left and liberals in general, I am disappointed in some of their behavior toward director Kathryn Bigelow because of her amazing film “Zero Dark Thirty.”
