My entries suck, I should just point at comments I made that I like. Like:

"Meanwhile, while I have been repeatedly told by lesbians that 'The L Word' has absolutely zero to do with reality, it is not Science Fiction enough to end up on my TiVo."

I feel like mentioning that one of those lesbians, upon viewing the pilot, mentioned on some e-forum the idiotic androcentric pattern she saw that no set of one or more Lesbians on a show could ever be scripted without including somewhere a quest for sperm -- it seems that women on mainstream TV and film always somehow need to be in need of a man. It is now a few years later and I note with full support for the effort, but also some glee remembering that comment, that she -- and she can snarkily identify herself if she wants to -- and her wife have taken the first tentative steps on the path that will result in a quest for, you got it. I guess that if you are going to portray thirtysomething lesbians, it might actually be unrealistic to not somehow include a quest for sperm. It certainly seems to be on the mind of many of them in my extended group of friends, if they haven't gone so far along the results are now keeping them awake.

Meanwhile, I still feel sick, but I am so goddamn tired of it that I decided to take up my life again. I don't feel like becoming active will be a set-back, in fact I think the lethargy will make it worse. So while there was some danger of dozing off at my desk today again, at the end of the day I said 'fuck it, let's really wake up' and hit the gym. I promised myself to take it very easy and then hang out in the steam room, and ended up doing a full heavy routine. AT the end I felt very tired, but not sick, and that felt great. Now I have rested and I feel no longer tired, but sick again. Still, life's been on hold enough.

I have not seen the L Word but I presume it's much like the fictional world that Queer As Folk presented.
Though it does seem like about 95% of lesbians do want kids, so that's not unrealistic.

sometimes i find that a new gym costume makes a rotten life worth living. that and a pedicure.

A slightly different kind of sperm quest.

It sounds like you've been sick long enough that a professional consultation might be in order. Sometimes antibiotics can make quick work of something that will otherwise drag on indefinitely. I speak from experience.

Experience here at work says that this one is a ten-dayer, and indeed I am at the tail end of it.

L and sperm: Procreatiing is something L's like to do. They often form longterm partnerships and want children. Being angry a lot is also an L activity (since they live in a male dominated world). So, I can see given the large group (the Ls), someone would be vocal about any given issue. Very vocal.

Sick+gym: Yipes! I rest when I'm sick. I don't hit the gym. When I'm better, I hit the gym. This was reinforced by my Basic Theory class from the YM-YWCA. So, if too tired (or really sick), I skip it. Guess you're on the mend if you can hit the gym and get energized. Go you!
