Oh, she looks marvellous here too.

I just read about the quake -- 18,000 dead in Pakistan. I know now always seems like the worst time, but damn. What's with all the dead folk?
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
hee. I was just thinking if I (blatantly invited myself and then) came down, I could get sushi with ita too.

of course you'd be invited, though our place wouldn't be the best place to stay due to fucked uppedness.

So I would have to blatantly invite myself over to someone's house or find a hotel? I could do that.

Okay, on ER, Luka is impossibly hot. And not a woobie. In fact, when he's in pain, I don't want to comfort him. I want to do terribly self-destructive things with him.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
There is a whole grab bag of natural disasters south of the border. [link]

Kee-rist.
Huh, and huh ... from the Seattle Times:
The Indian Ocean tsunami caused the global death toll from natural disasters in 2004 to triple from the year before to about a quarter of a million — the highest total in almost 30 years, the international Red Cross said today.
Discounting the devastating effects of the Dec. 26 tsunami, however, the 2004 total would have been about 25,000 — one of the lowest figures on record, the agency said.

move out and draw fire
Huh, and huh
I second that. I guess we're getting all our natural disaster deaths in big chunks. Maybe they have to happen in showboaty ways because we've developed protections against the minor accidents.
Speaking of massive death tolls, did you guys see that they've re-animated the Spanish Influenza virus? They got it from lung tissue from a body of the time, and now they have a living lab culture.
Aside from the scary/cool Jurassic-Park quotient, one of the things the researchers said was that they are trying to determine why some people were resistant and some weren't...and that if you are alive today, you are most likely resistant because your progenitors survived.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
My granduncle Bonnie had a story about that. He came down with the '18 flu when he was in the army at Camp Robinson Pike near Little Rock. He passed out, and when he came to he found he was in the camp morgue. He staggered out the door and scared the hell out of the clerks and orderlies in the office outside. Said it served them right for having given up on him.
