Buffistas

I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

You know what are expensive? Inoculations for Kenya.

You know what's odd? Being told "Don't eat the ice or fresh vegetables -- stick to hot, cooked foods -- you're from Jamaica. You know this!"

WTF? Do you think I grew up without ice and fruits (I did try to pass at the fresh veggies, I admit)?

Er... well, maybe they were thinking that when you moved somewhere else they told you that?

No, I got nothing. Sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Huh. I have NO idea why, but there were just fireworks outside my window.

(If there were more Cincinnatians on this board, I'd make a joke about Bob Huggins getting fired....)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Kenya! Exciting!

I want to start hanging out at the track and talking about esquivarience.

Celebrating humpday?

Oh man, first day back at work and I'm already feeling tired. Bad sign?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Inoculations for Kenya.

What's the list now? I'm guessing typhoid and typhus, but what else? What's recommended as an anti-malarial?

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

Shots: yellow fever, hep a, polio booster

Prescriptions: Cipro (traveller's diarrhea), malarone (anti-malarial) and a typhoid oral vaccination

I haven't filled any of the prescriptions yet. The first two are guaranteed -- not sure if I'll go with the typhoid or not -- she wasn't pressing it.

You know that kind of half-ashamed schadenfreude that you get when you see people you're no longer friends with, and they no longer look as good as they used to? Like, "Ha, well she's looking older and fatter and has dorky glasses! Of course, I'm older and fatter too, and always have had dorky glasses, and I started out less good-looking than her, so I'm probably still less attractive, but still-- ha! Dude, that's so not a cool thing to think. How petty are you?"

Yeah, I'm getting that.
