With swine flu, I've gotten paranoid about banisters, but I figure falling down the stairs will probably hurt me more than swine flu.
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh, I've seen a new anti-Obama (I guess) sticker. It's a christian fish eating an Obama 'O' symbol.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Is pecan allergy as common as peanut allergy?
Tree nut allergies are pretty common in kids, yeah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I also open doors with my bare hands!
I notice that just about every woman I've seen in the washroom here opens the washroom door with a paper towel instead of her bare hands, which makes me feel okay with using my bare hands--it's when I notice a persistent non-washer that I start to get creeped out. I used to work at a healthcare-tangential place where the orientation included hand-washing instructions, and there was this one woman that never washed her hands. I don't work there anymore, but I see her around town, and it's all I think, there she goes with the ick on her hands.

The other ick I think about is shopping cart handles, for some reason. My hands just feel filthy after I've done grocery shopping. I must wash. But I don't think that's a swine flu thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've seen sanitizers at supermarkets for those handles.

Oh, I think we've had this discussion before. I'm again in the "why bother?" category, unless you have an actual reason. Yuppie angst over germs doesn't seem like an actual reason to me.

And I totally believe that over-cleaning is bad for you, anyway. (As mentioned on last night's House, so it must be true!)

I just wash my hands when I'm done grocery shopping. I can't be arsed to actually santise the handle on the spot, although the supermarket I go to does have a little stand for that.

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

50 Unusually Bold and Bizarre Bags
If you're looking to give a certain Goth girl a birthday present, how about the bottom one on the first page?
These pine box coffin purses are limited edition and personalized for each customer. This hasn't been mainstream style since, well ... ever. I can see the pluses in sporting it though: lots of room, fashion statement, extra carrying handles, but make sure you keep the key handy. And hey, don't write this purse off yet; the country has vampire fever!
ION, Birthday Happies, Jilli!!
