Took the day off. I was flipping through the channels, to discover a CLASSIC of the Lifetime genre -- Tori Spelling in "Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?"
Danger Man, Danger Mouse, or Nick Danger, Third Eye?
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm home. I'm going to bed. Someone wake me up before my final on Monday.

Seriously, though, have a good sleep and get well.

All is well that ends in pizza.
See, every single person who has died of rabies didn't actually die from the virus itself, but from their own nervous systems' reaction to the virus. The nerve and respiratory reactions kill you before your immune system can fight off the virus.
One could say a similar thing about AIDS, but it remains the root cause.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
While I too join in the chorus that Fay should go get her bite checked, that's actually not entirely true. See, every single person who has died of rabies didn't actually die from the virus itself, but from their own nervous systems' reaction to the virus. The nerve and respiratory reactions kill you before your immune system can fight off the virus.
Turns out that was quite the crucial difference. They put the girl into a coma and drugs to help protect her nervous system and boost her immune system and let the virus run its course. She's still recovering four years later, from what I understand, but there appears to have been no permanent nerve damage.
I heard about that!
But its only worked the one time (and its been tried since) so I don't know if we can accept their analysis as absolute fact.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had a fun day of bureaucracy yesterday. I was trying to fill out the forms to change a student's grade. (Legitimately -- I screwed up in calculating it.) They wouldn't give me the forms, because my ID says "student." They could have looked up the course in the listing and compared my ID number to the "instructor" ID number, but the card said "student," so no form. Got sent around to a bunch of different offices before finally getting to one that would give me the form.

Happy moving day, sj! No problems~ma!
I am growing to love this "Phone" character of MM's.
Score, Vortex, that's like the ur-Lifetime-movie movie!
Feel better, vw.
No rabies~ma for Fay (but go to the doctor, anyway).

Fay -- Doctor. Now. Because even the hope held out by Sean involves four-plus years of recovery. Which is Not Good.
Oh yes. It's only succeeded the once, so that's not great odds. Fay go to the hospital.

Well, you're not so much killed by your body's reaction to AIDS, as the diseases you catch because of your compromised immune system, so there's a slight difference. And in Jenna's case, it was vital.
