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

Was the face transplant woman high or drunk when her dog bit her causing the disfigurement? She says that the was unconscious when the dog bit her and didn't realize how bad the damage was until she tried to smoke a cigarette and couldn't-- presumably because she had no mouth!

Somehow her not feeling the pain makes it more scary. More alien. Weird.
Huh. The burning sensation guy is gone. I got IMed that he looked like he'd seen a ghost and now he's gone. Do heart attacks have burning sensations? People are muttering by his cube, and now that I want to overhear, I can't.

A clue to how seriously to take Bush's initiatives on alternative energy sources:
The Energy Department will begin laying off researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the next week or two because of cuts to its budget.
A veteran researcher said the staff had been told that the cuts would be concentrated among researchers in wind and biomass, which includes ethanol. Those are two of the technologies that Mr. Bush cited on Tuesday night as holding the promise to replace part of the nation's oil imports.
The budget for the laboratory, which is just west of Denver, was cut by nearly 15 percent, to $174 million from $202 million, requiring the layoff of about 40 staff members out of a total of 930, said a spokesman, George Douglas.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Or, you could move to California, where you'd have zero fuckwit senators, and you wouldn't even have to go out campaigning to make it so. t /state pimpage
I'd never heard of Kyl before... what a ghastly freeze-dried troll he is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG so annoying. So I headed out to bring sustenance to poor sick msbelle, and there's all kinds of Drama at the subway station. Like, multiple fire trucks and other assorted Official Vehicle drama. Needless to say, there are no trains at that station. So I thought maybe they'd just bypass, and I could get one at the next stop. On my way there, I ran into all the people getting out of that station, because in fact there are no trains at all right now, in either direction. So annoying that this happened right now! At least to get to school, I take a different line. And actually, I could have gotten to msb's place on other lines, which stop in the other direction from my house, but now I don't have enough time. Bastages!
