I wanted to see Contagion because I love pandemic stories, but then I heard that the catalyst of the contagion was (spoiler only for the cause of the illness): bats. And bats are having a rough enough time. I love them and think I will yell at the screen.

Too much meta.

Yeah, don't bring your cold to "Contagion" Thanks, everyone! Nilly, I keep missing you...I'm sure that guy from "Numbers" who makes me think of you would have a formula for it.

Allyson,

that isn't it exactly. spoilers for the end of the movie: The catalyst is really a big pharma company who is clearcutting a forest, which drives bats to a particular part of the region with pig farms. The bats' partially eaten food is eaten by the pigs. The virus' origin is bat AND pig.

I want to see Contagion, but I would unnerve the other people in the theater in my current coughing and dripping state.

I mean, I agree for germ reasons, but it would be pretty hilarious.

I would like the point out that the Saints are kicking ass.

I have jury duty tomorrow, which I'm actually kind of fine with. I get to sleep in a little bit, and I don't have to deal with work stupidness.

Do you ever feel like you're on everyone's RL Marcie list?

It's a pretty common condition, Allyson. I just thought it was the way everybody felt most of the time.

Oh. Maybe I should be more annoying.

That's one way to go. I usually try killing 'em with kindness and charm and a blinding smile. That way I can walk away knowing I'm SO MUCH the better person than they.
