and now we're watching "Once More With Feeling". Whedon win.
In my epic driving across most of Southern California last weekend, I listened to (and sang along with) all of OMwF. That was really fun. I haven't watched it in years.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
And, hey, Much Ado is playing in Napa so I might go see it this week. That is an unexpected piece of good fortune.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Zenkitty,now that you know it's the bandage that was creating more trouble, gently cleanse the area and if possible apply Benedryl cream (some forms of anti-itch cream) to the irritated area. If you don't have the cream, then try a paste of water and baking soda and if possible take some Benedryl internally.

Also, see if you can get the new Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis combo for adults, I think they are referring to it as T-DAP or some such.

Zen, I was going to apologizing for bringing up Corpse Bride so soon after you were worried about your arm becoming all zombiefied and rotting, then thought, "If no one else thinks it, maybe I won't bring it to mind."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A friend just posted this: 15-year-old wrote a two page, persuasive essay to convince me to let him go to a sleep-over to which I had already said no. This essay contained citations in MLA style, including a citation for the Milgram's experiment, which supported his argument that by not being able to change my mind, I was "stunting the growth of society" and would be raising children that "will be easily brainwashed." I changed my mind...

Is tetanus really a common problem from cat scratches? I thought of that as environmental and commonly introduced by cuts from things like nails that were contaminated. Not that getting the vaccine isn't a good thing. It is. But cat scratches are known for the possibility of contracting bartonella. Which, sadly, does not mean that Hawkeye comes to visit. Mores the pity because Jeremy Renner has fabulous arms.

"Coulson, you've got to find out why I'm being fucking drawn to all these women with cat scratches! And stop them from annoying their cats into scratching them! Or make Ted Nugent show up instead of me!"

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Cat scratches often cause infections, but not so much tetanus. While it can enter the body through a scratch, tetanus is an anaerobic bacteria, so it's happiest in a puncture wound or dead tissue.
I keep my tetanus shots up to date because of my uneasy relationship with gravity and inanimate objects.
