Nora, does he get to vote?

I am proud, for I have sucessfully caramelized sugar for my flan! Whoot!

Now to figure out, since I'm making two batches, what the heck I can use to make a waterbath for my pie pan (the first batch was easy enough, as it was in little ramekins).

Vortex got me to come to TT, as I was temping and bored and she told me about these cool online people who talked about Buffy, and there was also other stuff you could talk about...

I don't know if he can vote or not... I know he *didn't* vote this time. Not sure how the absentee ballot thing works over there. I will ask him when he gets out of the shower.

ION, we got this random note from the police department saying that a group called "White Revolution" from Arkansas is coming up this weekend to congregate in our neighborhood before going off and protesting Holocaust Memorial stuff going on this weekend in Lexington and Concord. It's just... gross.

Nora, that's so creepy. It seems weird to me that they can congregate in a residential neighborhood.

My Buffistaversary is in February. I've been here for more than four years, now.

Where did it go?

I'm so wigged out about it.

Anyway, Tom, freshly showered, said that he could vote if he were registered, but he's not registered, and if he were, he'd have to vote in Huntington, one of the major Conservative strongholds, so, not much use in it. He also says he sucks for not being registered. But having to register in Huntington apparantly is not much of a motivator to get it done.

I'm just quoting here.

My Buffistaversary is June 16, 2003. I lurked for about an hour before I jumped out of the cake and into Bitches.

So the client meeting went well today, I think. There was Buffista~ma aplenty which is always a good thing. Thank you.

I had planned to write all about it, but I am so completely exhausted that I skipped ahead (with a threadsuck hanging out in another window to read tomorrow likely) and am thinking longingly of just lying down and going to sleep shockingly early.

Given my not so infrequent struggles with sleep, Ima light a couple tealights and comply. Fire pretty, tree leafy.

I don't think I lurked. I had never been to any type of board before so I knew nothing of lurking. I posted 9/30/01. I sought an alternative to television that month in dire need of distraction. It was meant to be. No doubt if other boards had been my first find I would have found drugs or some other addiction instead. It wasn't until much later that I discovered the rarity of Buffistas.

Yay Cinco de Mayo! Except I smell like an ashtray and I don't smoke. But I did go out on a Thursday night which is unusual for me. So Yay!

Hivemind assistance wanted:

Annabel, after seeming healthy, happy, and normal-temperatured all day, has developed a fever of 102 out of nowhere. She still doesn't seem sick--sleepy, but it's her bedtime and she missed a nap.

Is this a "call the doctor NOW" scenario, or a "give her medicine and see how she is in the morning" one?

I'd call it a give her medicine and see how she is in the morning case. They do spike easily and quickly. It can be so many things, or nothing at all. Overtired, teeth, ears. It is most likely she will sleep soundly after the meds and be fine in the morning.
