, or just that the drug has affected your body in such a way that if you don't take it, you have adverse effects.

This- Although I think if I couldn't get it, I would be very upset.

I'm still not sure that qualifies as addiction, in the sense of a behavioral problem. Because you aren't using it (or wanting to use it) for a reason (or effects) other than for what it was prescribed for.

I'd wager that the majority of people on antidepressants experience some degree of physical dependence. They were hard as hell for me to go off, because of the withdrawal.

Amtrak has been shut down, at least temporarily.

In other disaster news, a guy who in-person-saw the Boston Marathon bombing also saw the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas this week.

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

I think that should get you free therapy for life. Like, a clause on your health insurance, or that life contract we all sign at birth.

Someone just passed me an interesting AV Club interview with Donal Logue: [link] He does discuss Terries, judging by the headline, but I can only read the first page before leaving for work, so I'm only really up to Blade.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I feel like there's always a story like that - the guy who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki springs to mind.

The bombers live on the same street as my friend Bob and they've played basketball in his driveway. He and his husband have been evacuated by the FBI.

I am paralyzed with shock and grief. I called out of work today. Should put the computer down and watch some Community or Friends or classic HIMYM.
