This is Jade's Brain with Insomnia

Why am I awake? Whyyyyyyyyy?

So, kiddo had a cold over the weekend with a stuffy nose, dry cough, and a mild fever. Naturally, he has given it to me. It wasn't bad until tonight when I started running a fever, got a headache, and then laid in bed trying to fall asleep while no longer being capable of breathing through my nose. By the time I had "You're a Grand Old Flag" stuck in my head (don't ask because I couldn't tell you), I decided it was time to give up.

I had planned to spend my Thursday hanging out at Sam's house while the kiddo was at school as well as applying for a few jobs. I think it's unwise for me to be behind the wheel for longer than it takes me to get the kiddo to school and back, so I'm coming back here and going to bed after he gets to school. Hopefully I'll be well enough to pick up applications Friday or over the weekend.

Also, I've been watching Angel on Netflix since I've never been able to watch the series despite being a huge BtVS fan. It's a pretty decent show. I mean, it doesn't have the same appeal to me that BtVS did, but it's still entertaining and keeps me wanting to watch more. I do, however, have one minor nitpick. (WARNING: Incoming epic nerdiness.)

In season one of BtVS episode sixteen (yes, I do remember the exact episode), the season finale, Buffy is temporarily rendered dead by the Master vampire. Angel and Xander come too late to save her, and as Xander rolls her over out of the water she fell into, he looks to Angel and asks him to perform CPR. Angel responds, "No breath, I can't," meaning that Angel doesn't breathe because he's a vampire, duh. However, in season two's second episode of Angel, "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been," we see 1950's Angel smoking cigarettes. How does that work? I mean, I get the need for him to try and blend in, and everybody and their mother smoked in the 50's, but last I checked in order to exhale cigarette smoke, you needed to be capable of breathing it in first.

And lest you think I'm being picky, I'm ignoring the fact that in BtVS we see Angel living on the streets living off literal street rats when Buffy is first told she's the slayer. I think that's in season two's season finale when she's forced to kill Angel/Angelus. We were given the impression that Angel had been living that way for more than a century, ever since he first got his soul back and went on a human-free diet. Yet, in the 1950's he was the James Dean of vampires? "I'm a brooding loner who doesn't like to get involved. Except when I do get involved."

If you think this nerdiness is bad, wait until I start rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender in anticipation of The Legend of Korra, which by the way has Bud Bundy (David Faustino) as one of its voice actors. Yes, the short dude from Married...With Children. Not even kidding.

Did I dream this?

Very late last night/early this morning, I checked out wow_ladies and I swear I saw a post advertising an rp event on some server that started with this whole spiel about how they'd first called it a slave auction and then changed it to date? There was even a link to the WoW forums on battle.net (which I can go through my history to find).

Anyway, the post is no longer on wow_ladies that I can see. I was going to go back to it for pretty obvious reasons, and those reasons being the post was utter bullshit that basically amounted to, "Woe is me, I hath suffered at the hands of the PC crowd!" There were only five comments on the LJ entry, but they were all positive as far as I could see.

Pardon me, I'm still in a fog and feel like shit. I'll be able to rest some more before tonight's rp stuff in my guild, so I should still be able to make it.

Edit: Aha, the link to the forum post! As for the wow_ladies's post, it was called "Down With Hooves" and has apparently been deleted, or so Frank the Goat tells me. Now I'm curious as to what went down.
