Let the record show that the Buffistas have chosen wearing a flower in their hair over smelling like teen spirit.
Let the record also show that I am now earwormed with Weird Al Yankovic's My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder.
Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.

F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Took the question out of my mouth. Damn it, Plei. Money, housing, time?
All of the above, plus a travel-loving extrovert for a child. Travel is too much of a stress on all systems for the next year or two.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Billytea, you're evil. And I just realised I don't have any Nirvana in my computer, damn it.
Plei, crapcrapcrapCRAP. Jo was like that, before about age two; then she settled down to "potential blackmailer note-taking" veriety of child traveller.
She may chill a bit before next spring. I'm not going to press or push, but - keep it open, please? It would be so much cooler if you guys were here.

No, no, I'm Son of Evil. I found this out from a Crown Prosecutor one day. Apparently in the days when my dad was in partnership with his brother, said prosecutor used to call the both of them Evil. (And D's secondborn, Son of Evil.) He did this so he could refer to their junior partner as the Lesser of Two Evils.

Why am I now remembering the Gahan Wilson cartoon, with two enormous men in bulky, weirdly anonymous clothing, greeting each other on the street? Each of them holding the hand of a small, nondescript female, about one third their size?
The caption was "...and this is my little woman."

Hee. Now I want to start a clothing chain called "Weirdly Anonymous". Wait. Autobiography. I meant autobiography.

BTW, on topic, Cass and I thought of you, aloud and at the same time, during our wander through the San Diego Zoo. There were penguins, and a panda baby, and fishing cats, and I think maybe a different komodo dragon than there used to be, because it was way smaller, although still, well, beyond cool, because, well, dragon.

Well, exactly. The SD dragon is my favourite dragon I've seen so far. Did you see the Andean condors? Oh, and the tree kangaroos, they're very striking. (SD Zoo has brilliant aviaries too, and some gorgeous birds of paradise and similar tropical denizens.)

I think this really is a different dragon than the first one I saw, in 1979; that one, I remember as way older and bigger.
We were on time constraints (it was catch-a-flight day), so I didn't do the nine-hour wander I could easily do. San Diego has one of the best zoos ever.

Yeah, I think they get up to about 25 years in captivity, so if the one you saw in '79 was already fully grown, I doubt he'd be around now. Oh, and I just discovered that they've come across an island subspecies of Komodo dragon that's smaller than usual, only up to about 7.5 feet long. Plus, there's a claim that the movie King Kong was originally inspired by the arrival of Komodo dragons in New York in the 1920s. Now that's cool.
