10 Things To Do When An Otaku Falls Sick
Submitted by Alafista on Monday, 4 May 200916 Comments
I caught the flu over the weekend and had to stay at home today to prevent spreading my germs to others. Since I was bored from lying in bed, I came up with a list of “10 things to do when an otaku falls sick”.

- Do a complete marathon of Moyashimon (もやしもん). The anime will help you understand micro-organism and bacteria better.
- Paint your Gundam kit. The fumes from the paint and thinner could help clear your runny nose.
- Wrap yourself in a thick blanket and pretend you are cosplaying Kiri Komori from Zetsubo Sensei.
- Read my blog.
- Catch up on all the past anime you always wanted to watch.
- Get hold of a copy of Megami magazine, 2D moe girls have been scientifically proven to hasten recovery.
- If you want to break out a sweat but can’t go outdoors, you can try some simple exercise with Hinako.
- Read my blog again.
- Drink losta water.
- Get losta sleep.
So what do you do when you fall ill? I hate falling sick because work always pile up when I go back to the office >_<


If I am TOO sick, I could not do anything from that list…
If I can at least stand up and do something at all, probably I will update my website, read blogs (including yours) watch anime, or play videogames on my PSP.
Haha cool list!
When sick, I mostly do:
-watch anime
-read your blog (and others)
-wrap myself in a blanket
-play videogames I started but been neglecting because of work
I love being sick <3
Haha are you sure you are sick or just pretending to be sick? WHen I’m sick, I’m usually too drowsy from the medicine to do any thing.
I lolled hard at the first advice. It’s true that Moyashimon will tell you lot about various stuff ^^
And no.6 is a good advice too. Megami posters can cure you from any disease, only that your temperature won’t drop. Rather otherwise, it might rise.
When I’m sick, I…still work. Telecommuting! I don’t get to take sick days. Or weekends.
I usually do 10 all the time, if i dont have a witness to say i was awake im usually asleep or at least relaxing eyes shut n stuff lol
Number 2 and number 3 were awesome. I will use this list when I inevitably contract swine flu (it’s gonna happen, it’s only a matter of time). At least I know what swine flu is now, thanks to this site.
LOL I hope no one catches the swine flu. ^^
I was sick for 1 whole week of flu, yet to recover. Only kept watching anime, drinking water and sleeping. orz >_>
Woah 1 whole week. Thats tough. I would hate to be sick for such a long period.
im ill right now lol, uno what? ive done pretty much everything on the list today……………well…minus maybe 2 or 3 things, also i went to school so go me for fitting alot in whilst ill
i dunno y read ur blog will be useful when sick hahaha. but reading ur blog is my daily basis, so i think it wont make a difference though XD
If you’re a shipping addict look at pictures of your favorite pairing.
My dream is to be ill for a month in order to do n°5. Animes are cumulating and I never have enough time
Yet I’m never ill >< (and haven’t had any vacation for months)
You would be really sick to be ill for a month. So by then you would be too sick to do anything you want but just lie in bed. LOL
Those are very good ideas! I’ll keep them on mind for the next time I get sick (hope it takes a long wait).
When I fall sick I can only sleep and complain X(
