Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I now have an appointment with a sleep specialist. And my migraine guy has discovered I have a special needs file at the ER, and is going to look into it. I hope for juicy resolution.

Hey Perkins!

Hey, there, Perkins!!

We are getting serious serious rain.

I ended up driving home last night in our serious serious rain. A few miles from my apartment, a business had half of its roof blown off. No tornadoes, just a microburst, but the wind clocked in at 75 mph at one point.

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

I hope for juicy resolution.

So do we!

Perkins! Yay for being boring post-op!

There is a NYT op-ed that is making me seethe today. I can't imagine what Lily Ledbetter must be feeling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I just went and said wah-wah-wah to my coworkers, and one of them gave me peppermint tea, in a real mug! This is especially good since I just learned on Fresh Air last week that the only thing that actually shortens the length of a cold is sympathy!

Because books.

I hope for juicy resolution.

I'm not sure what that means in this context, but it sounds good.

Hey, Perkins!!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really am the whiniest sick person ever. I'm not even all that sick! I'm just always surprised when anything goes wrong with me, physically.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

HI PERKINS HI!!!

Potassium Chlorate + A Red Gummy Bear

In semi-related news, conversation hearts burn quite pleasingly if not as dramatically. I recommend it as a cathartic Valentine's Day activity.

THE EXPERIENCE OF A UNIFIED MIND AND THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EVERLASTING SOUL ARE CONNECTED. AND THERE IS SCANT EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EXISTENCE OF EITHER.

I find this kind of thing interesting... there are lots of stories about transplant recipients who have cravings, dreams, and/or vocab changes that can be traced back to the donor. Kind of freaky, kind of cool.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Cravings I can see, as there's now a physical part of that other person inside the recipient and you'd expect maybe the interaction with foreign genetics to change tastes and the like. But purely mental changes when it's not brain tissue at issue is pretty freaky.
