Going dark until Sunday. Heading up to Maine to get the frell out of Salem. Halloween in Salem sounds like a fun idea, but it's more like the world's biggest frat party. Mardi Gras without New Orleans caliber cuisine (although we have decent restaurants, they just aren't THAT good). Plus, it's too cold for anybody to be doing much flashing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
As soon as I can get myself out of the office, I'll be going dark. I'm off to visit my oldest, best friend, and while the viewing of Angel tapes will be rife, the web access will be limited.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Toothma for Nora would be appreciated. Her tooth sensitivity turned out to be a sick nerve and she's having root canal in about an hour.

In the good news area -- my new nephew is back home. He was just a very hungry little boy.

move out and draw fire
Halloween is over, and I'm back! We gave out almost 100 bags of candy, so not as much as last year, but we had a lot of kids who told us that they liked this year's decorations the best of all. Photos are here, although very dark and hard to discern. It looked way cooler IRL. No really.

All is well that ends in pizza.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
A question for all Seattleistas:
The Seattle Barnes and Noble at University Village would love me to come up and do an event. Alack, the dates they have in mind are either 7 or 8 January, which happen to be a Wednesday and Thursday night. This means the 7th would be the date, since I have to be back in SF to take my multiple sclerosis meds on Thursday night; the 8th is out.
The suggestion is that I find a second venue up there - Borders, a good independent, etc - and try for a Tuesday night reading as well. That would make flying up viable.
So, a couple/few queries:
1. Can someone up there house me, if I get in on Monday or Tuesday night, 5th or 6th January?
2. Has someone got a non-Barnes and Noble store they'd like to rec?
3. Can any/all of you come to those readings, and bring a friend or three?
Thanks, all, and soonest is best. Email works: sf_deb@yahoo.com

So, as you know, I was laid off, but am working until the end of the month.
I have an interview tomorrow morning. 9AM (6AM board time). Please send vibes, y'all! Vibes that (a) they want to hire me (b) they want to pay me good and (c) they dont' need me to start until, oh, say, January.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
