I just did a "reply all" that I wasn't supposed to do, Jesse. I feel your email pain.

I think I am having hormonally-driven annoyance, even though the stuff is objectively annoying.

I wound up chucking Rosario Dawson, because she's the most beautiful woman in the world, and that is scary and stuff. But then it's a total coin toss.

That was pretty much my reasoning. Except I that while I love Dub-dub I don't know so much about Natalie Morales when she is not in character. So there you go.

Because I can connect WotC to Joss using nothing but Buffistas if we count books.

iiiee, you're right. I didn't think about that.

My mom and sister were telling me about a segment on yesterday's Today Show, with a teenage girl who had survived TEN. Mom is a survivor of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, which is a slightly-less virulent variation of TEN, but watching the video clip on the Today Show website just now brought back memories of how she looked when she was so sick. The survival rate was a lot worse back in 1978 when she had SJS, and she was in the hospital a lot longer than the girl on the tv was.

Bad memories for all of us--sis said she had to leave the room when she was watching it on tv yesterday because she started crying.

My dog would be awesome at that. He's a little smaller than a hot water bottle, loves to snuggle and radiates warmth.

My first thought was "Couldn't they let me bring my dog instead?"

Everything I learn about Nathan Fillion makes me even more of a drooling fangirl. The interviewer in that clip is terrible, though. Fillion says when he was growing up, his parents would let him stay up a half hour later if he was reading.

Canada is my best hope. I think my dad's dual citizenship gives me enough points.

Where was he born? Here to Canadian parents, or in Canada and naturalized?

Why else would you listen to the song?

Huh--looking at that description of SJS on Wikipedia makes me think that Mom actually had TEN. According to Wiki, SJS proper only involves 10% of the body losing skin, but Mom lost it over at least 50%, if not more, as well as losing most of her body hair. Back in the late 70s, I'm guessing TEN wasn't named yet, so her doctor went with the slightly more known SJS.

Just last week, she was at her current doctor's office for a look at a bad toe, and the nurse-practitioner had to talk to her doctor about what med to prescribe due to her reaction history. After several minutes when Mom could hear them talking in the hall, the NP came back and said that the doc told her to leave Mom on the old med that he knows doesn't cause any problems, just in case. He happened to have another young doctor shadowing him for the day whom he told about Mom's history, and the young doc was surprised over the fact that there was an actual SJS survivor in the office. They are so rare that he only thought he'd read about cases like hers, not encounter one IRL.
