I tend to be a little paranoiac when it comes to illness… With the current outbreak (while not jet enough to call it an epidemic) of Swine Flu in Mexico, I’m on the edge of my nerve.

Just yesterday school activity was canceled in Mexico City and, today, public government activities have been also canceled.

One of the most important advice given these days in Mexico, by news networks and pamphlets, is not to shake hands. Call me crazy but, if giving hand shakes is deemed risky, this must be one hell of a pandemic!

While it’s been reported there have been only 20 death out of the more than 1000 cases, I still can’t stop thinking zombies will crawl up my window while I’m asleep to cough over me and shake my hand!

I’m certainly not leaving home without a shotgun!

Well, I’ve been meaning to do somehting like that for a while. A little picture followed by a description… much like a one-panel web comic, mind you.

For today’s entry… me, having the idea of doing this and the world reacting with confussion and embarasment… So yeah, there you are. I’ll try to make this updates more interesting… or I may not, you never know, I’m a busy guy working at FABLE Story Studios.

Then again… I could use the tablet practice.

I really never leave my desktop the way it is when I get a computer. I always look for ways to tweak, improve and stylize it.

This is the current state of the desktop of my Laptop.
