Swine Flu and The Mask of Skull
First there was the West Nile virus. Then the bird flu. Now it’s the swine flu. Next, it’ll be the Klingon flu. It’s one epidemic after another. Obviously, I don’t have enough to worry about with four little ones in the house. And of course, kids alway wash their hands with soap and never stick their hands in their mouths.
I see in the news that there’s a run on face masks because people are afraid of catching the swine flu from other people. I find this interesting because back in the 90′s, I a spent a week in Japan on a modeling assignment. OK, it might have been a geeky software project. Anyhow, while I was strutting in Tokyo, I noticed some people wore face masks. When I asked about it, I was told they wore the masks because they were sick and they didn’t want to get anyone else sick. Isn’t that amazing? It’s the exact opposite over here in the states. We wear face masks to avoid catching germs from other people. Who cares if we get other people sick. Let’s share the misery.
Speaking of masks, if I was to wear a face mask in public, I would wear one designed by Yorika Yoshida. Like her skull face mask:

If you wore that mask I would stay far, far away from you. Sick or not!

Even without that mask, people already do that.
That mask is awful. No one is wearing them here! In fact I have never seen anyone wear a mask here. I just don’t get why everyone is panicking about this flu…. hell thousands of people die from the flu every year… and there is no panic about it. It’s just life.

I have not seen anyone wearing a mask around here either. I think it’s mainly people who have to go to the airport, train station, or subway.
Hee hee – I like the skull mask. Maybe they’ll design a Klingon one if you ask?
Hugs,

Good one. I didn’t think of that. It would be cool if we could design our own masks.
Great set of teeth on that skull. I would want one with swollen tonsils and a couple of chipped teeth. That way people would really know I am sick (health wise that is).

I would add blood and a couple of fangs.
I picture you more with a wrinkled forehead, you great Klingon warrior you.
I want to be strong like a Klingon, but I don’t want to look like one. Kapla!
Hahahaha! It is the other way around now … even in the Philippines ….
I’d wear a mask that’s really colorful and cute.
