Timelies all!
More ~ma for ita and her mom.
Speaking of disease epidemics, Seanan McGuire has written and recorded a Schoolhouse Rock style song about the Black Death(and her take on what caused it). It's called "The Black Death".
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.
'Objects In Space'

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It is a great song. The CDC has it up in their office.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Thanks FOR NOTHING.
Oh, I bet you wish nothing but the best for those two oooh! Sorry, sorry! You started it, though. If you spread the earworm to exorcise it, you gotta expect it to ring around the room for a while. But yeah, songs like that bite when they're a little too close to home. You don't need someone like him. You'll have someone like awesome in due time.
Buffistas are a rare, very special breed of people, and I'm really grateful they've taken me in.
Me too!
Ugh, reality just hit me again
Blah. I hope that reality gives it a miss. We're here for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You started it, though.
I know, I know ::hangs head::
Are you there yet, ita? Or still connecting?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
ita, I am so sorry. Are you eating and hydrating and all that? Travel and worry together can take a lot out of you, so even if oyu don't feel like it, make sure you drink water and eat something.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That...is not it. It's not a song parody; it's original. Here are the lyrics.
Wow. That's some talented lyricism right there. (Since the song was written, genetic studies have indicated that the black death was indeed the bubonic plague, which is a bit of a shame given the effort put into that song.)

It's not everyone who can rhyme necrosis.
Plague can spread by droplet-based transmission in its pneumonic form.

You might also enjoy "Evil Laugh" and "Vampire Slayer Blues." And some of you might like "The Ghost of Lilly Kane."

Hm, I did not know that. I'll have to ask if she still holds fast.
