Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's hard to give a frack about rewriting 100 references to style when other people have put a spaceship on Mars.

Ahahaha. I keep trying to tell myself that this article about neonatal patients with congenital heart disease WILL HELP BABIES, but in the end I'm all "Curiosity, WOO!!!"

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

Oh, hey! I take Wellbutrin, in theory. I have no idea if it works, or if I experience any side effects. It's one of the meds I'm waiting for a refill on, as things would have it. I've been off for a week. And, stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

shrink-wrapped bodies by julien palast

french photographer julien palast has conceived his 'skindeep' series. the vivid image-based project silhouettes the beauty of the human form by shrink-wrapping bodies, exposing the contours and curves of male and female figures with vibrant colors.

More or less worksafe, IMHO.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm on a combo of Lexapro and Welbutrin. It usually works for me, and I can't say I've seen a lot of negative side effects. Except possibly weight gain.

But What Steph Said (and Nora Quoted) can't be stressed too much. Different meds react with different body chemistries (chemistrys?) in different ways. So what works for me won't necessarily work for you, and vice versa. And (as Hubs is finding out) sometimes it takes a long time to find something that works.

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

Wellbutrin totally destroyed my short-term memory. I would take my meds, and then have absolutely no idea whether or not I took them. It was scary.

This is kind of what tamoxifen does to me.

This is with me metoprol. But I think it's a me issue and not a metoprol issue. I usually figure it out about 5 hours later when I have shortness of breath and palpitations and feel like I'm having a heart attack.

Yeah--I'm pretty inexpert at meds. If I could take a fistful first thing in the morning, it would be optimal, but apparently reasons.

The lone pill that has a three times daily appearance--I curse it. And should probably take today's right now.

My mother's toenails are currently yellow with a black and green stripe on each big toe. Bless.

I was getting frustrated that not enough of the other villa goers were getting back to me on the T shirt thing. I know it's not cool to be the reason we don't do it, but I'd rather someone stood up and said that, than me chomp at the bit.

One person came back with "Sorry I disappeared--my father died and my marriage ended. But I could have said something sooner."

OH FUCK YOU FOR BEING OVER-REASONABLE. Like, she wasn't being snippy there at all.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Does anyone not get sports to this degree:

Yep.

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

Doesn't sports just look like being excited about people trying really hard to excel at something? Does it have to be "gotten" any more than that?

And isn't that almost always common to the human experience, whether you're performer or audience?

You did a thing! Really well! Yay!

It might be running or acting or cooking or hitting a ball with some peculiar restrictions on the how of it all, or it's diving for pearls or seven million other things humans do. Only some of them are sports.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well, hey. The developer who obscures to save his ass--out on said ass.

That's good, right?

I find those shrink wrapped bodies disturbing.

Also? Just did nails, but now need to pick up kids. My sense of timing is not too good, is it?
