Yellow Fever and Other Trip Updates

I received my Yellow Fever vaccination yesterday. Why didn't I get it with my other ones? It's a live vaccination, which means there is a chance I could catch yellow fever (yes, I understand the comical implications of what I just said), and it is required that you mustn't get another vaccination of any sort within 4 weeks prior and probably afterward. So this means that I just have 1 hepatitis shot left, which I'll get in a few months. Then, I'm all cleared. However, I will need to go back to my doctor to have him fill out a "Yellow Book." What this is is "proof", that I got vaccinated for my trip, and will be scrutinized by customs agents in most countries. I have to return to the doctor because I didn't learn about the Yellow Book until the yellow fever vaccination, and he didn't fill one out for any of the vaccinations I got. Plus, it'd probably be a good idea to get my blood type since I don't know it (crazy right?).

Vaccination fun

So I was at Goudy the other day...
I am mostly vaccinated for the trip now. I got six shots in one sitting, which meant that my arm was sore for about a week.

January update

So, I realize that probably no one is following this blog and that's fine because it's for me anyway. If anyone is, here's an update of what's been going on with me.
I went to Utah mid-January for 10 days. the skiing wasn't very good. they hadn't gotten snow in awhile and the inversion had decreased the snow pack quite a bit. So much so that I had to repair my bases twice within a few days. On top of that, it didn't snow at all while I there.

How to Measure Yourself

How about this for a starting sentence that grabs you and draws you in:
Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've been really busy. I am at home for about 1-2 hours a weeknight. Usually gym, soccer (on an indoor team now; and we're good!), dodgeball, other shit. Anyway, I don't want to focus on that.

The Best Book Ever Written, Evar

Well the infinite monkeys, with infinite time finally did it. The best book ever written is called "Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage)". I'm not joking. When conventional wisdom in nutrition finally gets overturned, like the geocentric model or the world is flat model, this book will be considered one of the most distinguished works. It will probably be required reading for anyone that wants anything to do with diet. I highly recommend everyone read it, regardless of their interest in their health.
