OMG! Allyson! You're an author!
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
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.

I saw a picture of one of the extra "legs" which was more like a vestigial limb... still, it had hooves, so I guess it counts. Poor little confused buck-doe!
I was offline from around 7 PM to now, and I was just about to call Comcast and complain, but I noticed that my Airport widget wasn't showing signal. If I'm directly connected I'm just fine. Feh.

"And by the way, I did eat it," Lisko said. "It was tasty."Love this. Not worth mid-night insomnia maybe, but I'm glad the dead freak dear was turned into nummy venison.
Her charity transferred her donation into an actual goat.I want to do this. I'll give someone an ass in my brother's name. He's was ass-y enough to spare some.

Which is going to be excellent advice until the one time it isn't. I guess it doesn't really qualify as advice so much as chatting about recipes.
That said, I've taken Benedryl with absolutely everything else I have ever taken and have never had issues.

I wonder what you do if you're allergic to Benedryl.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Um. I wrote a book. And it's for sale. At Walmart.
Dude. So fucking awesome.
