SO.COOL.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Very, very exciting Allyson! Congratulations!
Cool cover too.

Frankenbuddha - So the Sox signed Matsuzaka. What's that sound I hear? George Steinbrenner wailing and gnashing his teeth? Sweet.
Now now, I know I'm new and all... but as a Yankee fan, I feel the need to defend..... eh. Nah, who am I kidding, even I like to razz GS. (although it would have been nice to get Matsuzaka).
GO YANKEES!
Consuela - Welcome to the new guys Sonus and Omnis!
Thanks!

OMG! Allyson! You're an author!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That dolphin story is freaky shit.
The Allyson story much less so. About bleeding time.

Kathy A - A great idea for those looking to spend some of their end-of-year money on a charity or two: Kiva.org, an online lending platform for microfinancing (like the new Nobel Peace Prize winner started, only virtual). For $25, you can help finance a small entrepreneur.
Thanks Kathy! I heard about this site on NPR, but alas, I was driving, and it was the weekend, and couldn't remember which show talked about it.
Another charity that I like to give for the holidays are: Charity Checks a way to give charity and the your friend/relative gets to choose which charity gets the money; and Heifer.org an organization that donates livestock so families can fend for themselves.

In other weird animal news, did everyone hear about the 7-legged hermaphroditic deer that a hunter ran over?

I'm a long-time Heifer.org donater. The animals you pick are donated symbolically. As in, you give a goat, but really ten families get chickens.
Totally not an issue until the year my sister and I crossed charities in the mail. Her charity transferred her donation into an actual goat. Yes, we're the sort of sisters that gives goats (unknowingly!) in each other's names. I ended up a bit jealous that hers was a bit more literal than mine.
Yes, we're the sort of sisters where that sort of thing gets a grudging nod of "Fine. But next year I will best you!"
For the record, her goat went through Oxfam. Which is British, so I don't know how simple it is to donate from the US.
I wish I had a job so I could properly budget goats in this Christmas. Well, it's on my list when I do get one.
Just finished watching The OC. Dude. It made me laugh--on purpose, and more than once. Not S1 material, but trumping just about any S2 episode in terms of humour, and then some.
I think it's cute that kat/lori and sarameg will be even kinda nearby at Christmas.
Everyone! Come on down to Jamaica! The water's fine, and the intoxicants even better.
Speaking of which, why isn't the pain gone? Vicodin has rebelled, I fear, which is way ahead of schedule. I just figured that combined with Benadryl (if there are drug-interaction lectures you want to give me, you'd better be Teppy or similarly qualified, otherwise I'm going to skim right on past--I've been wanting to claw my own face off all day and if I don't sleep innocents will die and I might fuck up my interview tomorrow) would make even slightly disposed to sleep.
Nothing yet. And it's not like I'm going to toss a Flexeril into that soup.
eta: Matt, I love that he ate it. ADORE.
