How come?
Because all the icky stuff washes into the ocean. Bacteria levels rise.

I think the doctor was skeeved.
Not as much as I am. I know I'm ill, but I wanted to throw up.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If I only had a brain...
I just learnt that it's recommended you don't go into the ocean here soon after the first rain of the season.
Why not?

Oh. Ick. Yeah, no surfing.

Ewww.
Last night's *House* on TiVo made me cry and cry and cry and now I have a headache.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
How are you feeling better, ita?
Guess your edit answers that.
The thing on House didn't skeeve me that much.

I'd guess all the shit from the city being washed into the nearby waters. At least that is true of the harbor here. Post storm, it is NASTY. And here, filled with used hypos. Uhg. When I was sailing, I was greatly afeared of falling off the boat, since CG told us if it happened, the first stop we made needed to be the hospital for massive shots.
Now pre-oncoming storms, at least in the Gulf, the gross was all the churned up seaweed to wrap around your limbs and more tarballs than usual. Or so I'm told. It was GROSS.

I'm a mom. Shows about dying adorable children? Sob-a-rama. It used to be worse; I used to cry at Michelin commercials.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Who was that singing "Beautiful" at the end of House, which I just saw, too!

Elvis Costello, according to my cc. Why I remember that, I don't know.

My skin is still crawling with the whole kiss thing. 34 minutes to go. I'm also freaked out by plucky cancer children, so I share that with House. I'm just nicer than he is.
