Did you know that our beloved Jens Lekman got swine flu while traveling in S. America? My friends met him in Argetina right before he was diagnosed!

Poor, poor Jens. First the sliced hand, now H1N1. If we were married, none of this would have happened.

And, OMG, that entry on his blog (http://www.jenslekman.com/records/smalltalk.htm)? HYSTERICAL.

Oh, and sad, too.
