I haven't done much today aside from the laundry, but I'm trying to give myself props for writing. I'm trying to force myself into a better habit, and for the first time in years I'm finally writing my own stuff again.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Just overheard at work: "ok, put the phone down and pull up your pants"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
They're going to alter the fabric of the universe so that medicine works differently, if I'm tracking her correctly...anyway, before the year is out, people will be treated with light and sound (because we are all God and God created light and sound first, ergo quod erat demonstrandum flobotinum).
Ok, I think she might've been just a little too impressed with Beck's version of Sound And Vision.

I was wondering how stem cells could be a hobby, and apparently the answer is "by having a stem cell machine at home." Okay. Clears things up.
Oh Criminy, you're being treated by Calvin.

Oh I wanted to remark on this. I am not denying your nurse's woo-woo, but there's a completely non-woo, in fact pretty cool, experimental cancer treatment that uses light to destroy the cancer cells. I keep reading about it.

And, dear me, i just set up a priority call on a 2nd hand report of a menage a trois by a freeway onramp. Good times. Poor ignorant caller tried to term it an "orgy". No way, lady, they'd need at least one more person. And dollars to donuts the situation ain't what she thinks.

Because books.
I'm finally writing my own stuff again.
Yay!

Thanks Amy. It's you and all the other buffista writers that help motivate me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Burrell, if that came through I would gladly eat my "woo" comment, sans ketchup.

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

If you tell me this is because God created light first, and that we have to transition away from pharmacology because one person owns all of big pharma (seems the Rockefellers and the Clintons and the Bushes all report up to this person) and medicines will no longer work as of September or so (I'm assuming I can ask for a new nurse with zero repercussion or shame then) I'm afraid I do need to write you off too. If it's just that electromagnetic radiation is a form of treatment, then it's no biggie, that's been in use for a while and I'm sure there will continue to be developments on that front.
