Web Sudokus (Creepy Music Plays in the Background)

For those of you who have yet to be "enlightened" please let me "enlighten" you. There are this online number puzzles, i assume of japanese origin, that have taken hold of this houshold called Sudokus. Clicking on the word 'Sudokus' will lead you to the web site where you will most definitely be drawn toward like moths to a porch light... then you figure out it's more like a black hole where once you're in the gravitaional field you can NEVER ESCAPE. The ultra addictive nature of these puzzle aside, they do pose quite entertaining time consumers and marginally mind expanding fun.
The point of this blog was to tell you how one person starting doing these puzzles ended up in the entire household become enslaved to the endless number ordering challenges. I cannot tell you that the puzzles aren't fun, but i wish i could the addictive nature of these puzzles is almost inspiring enough to cause me to lie to you, not leading you into a trap. But i can't becuase they are fun and if you don't mind losing the will power to do anyhting but play the Sudoku then by all means start playing, but for those of you who don't want to be "enslaved by the game" DON'T CLICK ON THE WORD "SUDOKUS".

The Bird Flu

I had this exceptionally wierd dream last night. I dreamt that i had contracted Bird Flu. I don't know why but at the time this dream was more like a nightmare because it scared me really bad. Like most dreams or nightmares (i'm guessing) it really made no sense whatsoever for the most part.
Let me stop a second and tell you what i know about Bird Flu... i't a virus that can kill people and doesn't yet have a vaccine.
That's the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
Anyway, in my dream i had contracted Bird Flu, on top of that it had a weird symptom that made your teeth fall out and you gums bleed horribly.
When i found out i had Bird Flu i was strangely at peace in my dream. I was going around with my father doing some things in the last few hours/days of my life. That part wans't scary but then i saw these kids, three of them, who were in the final stages of Bird Flu or something, they weren't in pain but their teeth had fallen out and their gums bled constantly. They had had false dentures made that they wore in their mouth, these dentures had vampire fang.
The kids would open their mouths and hiss at me. Then i woke up to the sound of Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana playing from my ipod's alarm clock.
I don't know why if felt like blogging about this but i can't get it out of my head. That dream seemed so real when it was happening but then i wake up to realize that it isn't. My heart was beating rapidly and i was very alert.
I don't have any clue why this dream even scared me though, the kids with the teeth thing was just odd and in the dream i wasn't sad i was at peace.
Maybe i'm just getting myself worked up sub-consciously about Bird Flu. I need to stop worrying about it really.
