I'm sick. I have a sinus infection due to Fall allergies and my persistent refusal to take my Claritin or quit smoking. So, that's the doctor-approved reason I'm not doing my normal (always informative and amusing) blog post today. But if you want to know the reasons why I think I'm too sick to post today, here they are:

1. I normally believe in fighting a fever but Freeganism has sucked all the joy out of my life, so why fight? (Have no fear, this is just a bit of dayquil inspired melodrama!)

2. The whole world is saying the most unbelievably mean things about Britney Spears' performance at the MTV Music Awards last night (all true unfortunately.) So let's just say that I'm a little scared to bring anything less then my A-game today.

3. The first week of football season has made me overly jingoistic and aggressive so it's really impossible for me to be fair and balanced in my blogging today.

So, that's it. When I return to work tomorrow, I will regale you with a very funny and very interesting perspective on Freegans as seen through the eyes of Quakers, Hippies and Hipsters with only a brief detour into sanctimony, and I will end with your standard pie-in-the-sky hopes for a better tomorrow.
