This will be a crappy diary, but I must endulge my love of all things Freddie by at least getting the diary up. There will be another diary, at another time that will be more what I intended to do because of interesting things going on in AIDS research, but this year, I got hit with a curveball and am just barely functioning, thanks to lupus. I have lots of red numbers on labwork printouts, that is not the case, and as such my mind is fogged, stage VIII-ish, give or take an I or a V. So here's a short but sweet Happy Birthday, Freddie Mercury, We Will Love You Forever diary.
Because the lupus rules all when it attacks (which reminds me, how are you BF?) All I have time for is what I think is an appropriate Queen video for all my friends here who make like worthwhile and keep my grey matter from turning to goo. Thanks to you especially Blackwaterdog - you keep my spirits high no matter what!
This is what I need to listen to at times like these, so feel free to sing along.
Thanks to Blogfather Kos, BFSkinner, Ojibwa, spedwaybabs, StrandedWind, Trisha, our Pootie Queen, Animal Nuz (hey, Oliver!) RServen, Translator, Meteor Blades for writing cool stuff that makes me want to drag my sorry ass out from under the comforter, put the Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia down, interface with the real world. I have to put in a 'yoo-hoo!' to PZ Myers over on Science Blogs as well. This is a nice patchwork of people to hang on to.
And my life would not be complete without my husband of 23 years Hank.
My favorite picture of Freddie at the moment:
