Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

What is even happening?

Yep. Explains the "sinus headaches" that were so bad I felt sick. Not in a way I like, but it explains it. Blerg.

Jesus. I have severe sinus issues about once every 4-6 weeks. I bet the fuckers are migraines.

If the article is going to just make you feel worse than you thought you felt, I think the sane thing to do is ignore it, unless it can turn you onto some better remedies, or help your doctor treat you more effectively. There's no sense feeling 25% worse than usual, because someone's applied the label "migraine" to a symptom you were content to label "sinus headache."

I have a lot of the vision-related migraine symptoms. I have for a long time, although mine were exacerbated by pregnancy (and that's when I had my worst migraine headaches, as well), rather than relieved by it, as they seem to be in that article. I know certain food triggers are a fact of my migraines, from observing what happens when I consume these triggers. I have frequent sinus headaches, but they're not the sort of thing that ita deals with each day; they pass, and they're nearly as upsetting to my system or psyche as are migraines.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Huh. I've never thought I had migraines, but I *do* have sinus headaches once a week or so, occasionally bad enough that I get dizzy. That's... not good.

(also, am really freaked out by the male-cows-with-udders in Barnyard, and encourage everyone to see Monster House instead.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just have to keep you people posted with whatever is going on in my life!

Well, yeah. Isn't that what we do here?

eta: I'd be interested to see what you think of BB:AS, and if you still have Dr. Will love.

If they have udders, why are people here assuming they're male? Is it the voice work? Or are the characters put forth as male, somehow?

Duh! (that was to Jesse.)

The uddered-boy cow has a male voice. AND REALLY PROMINENT UDDERS.

Yes, this annoys me.

Maybe udders on male cows are like human men growing breasts due to chemical imbalances or steroid use. Those boy-cows aren't gender-ambiguous, they're just on the juice!

Just... everything I read about that movie upsets me. Not only do the boy cows have udders, the movie is all about a father-son relationship, and apparently they make fun of girls cows! Who also have udders! This makes no sense! Give me carnivorous houses any day.

I'm pleased someone else shares my outrage.
