Fay's blog "An Englishwoman in Egypt" seems to have gone away. Did she say she was taking it down?
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yum.
What I'm actually worrying about right now is how to explain my braced ankle to the guy I'm seeing tomorrow. I can't go with my usual "It's a chronic thing" explanation that I use if someone I don't know too well asks, because he's known me for long enough to have seen me without the ankle support before, but a whole explanation seems like too much, and it's not like EDS is common enough that I can just name it and he'll know what it means. (Yeah. I've had these symptoms for like 15 years. I should have figured this stuff out by now.)
Do the books come on the day they are released or earlier?
From what I recall, they usually come either the day they're released or a day or two after -- I think they try for getting there that day, but schedule the delivery stuff so that there's no chance of them getting there early, and that sometimes makes it so they get there a tiny bit late. I could be totally wrong, though -- this is just what I vaguely remember from some friends ordering the last one.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
If he even asks, brush it off as an old injury that acts up. You can explain it depth later if you ever get to that point.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dammit. Book comes out 7/16. Joe and I are on Michigan on 7/15.
Crappity. Must to change shipping address.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You wouldn't even need to call it an injury -- just say "it bothers me sometimes, so I brace it." I find people tend to want to know the details of injuries, because it sounds like there's a little anecdote lurking.

Thanks. I'll try that, if he asks.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Jon! Holy crap! And congratulations!
(yes, I am vehemently anti- ball cap, unless you're actually playing baseball at the time you're wearing it. My apologies to any of you who like wearing them.)
I claim the right to wear my ball-cap, for it is black with large gold upper-case letters spelling 'BUGGER'.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And the best hat EVAH!!!1!!1!
