Say, does anyone want to see pictures of our fabulous Lord of the Rings party that Mecha couldn't attend because he moved to Montreal?
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

My stepfather's mother passed away today. Vibes and prayers for the family would be very appreciated.

Thrive to spite them
My teenage second cousin needs healthma. I just found out she's been been sick for two weeks and has been in the hospital since Thursday, she's spiked high fevers, has weakness on one side, shooting pains. They've given her MRI, all kinds of other tests and they come out negative. Currently the drs are thinking that perhaps it's psychosamatic (she's been under a lot of stress lately).

I saw Uncle John and it was a huge relief. Surgery is scheduled for Monday and he is being all sorts of prepared an dmonitored. I was sure he was going to die until I saw him.
MWAH to you all for your good thoughts and support. Thank you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy memememe fencing news:
I earned my "E" rating in foil by finishing 7th in a 32-person tournament yesterday. While it's not exactly a ticket to fame, fortune, and international sports stardom, a rating does generally mean a slightly easier time in future tournaments. Plus, hey, I might've actually gotten decent at this stuff somewhere along the line....
When I decided on a whim to try out this fencing thing (something I might never have done if I didn't have Buffistas egging me on) I never thought I'd get so utterly addicted to it. Y'all have listened to a lot of babbling about it over the last two years, so I figured you're the people I needed to babble to about this.

Thanks for all the fish.
Just to let everyone know - starting this Monday we will be getting the three unaired episode of Firefly in Canada. We'll be discussing the episodes in the Atlantic Canadians thread. We will be discussing the episodes as they air, each Monday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey Somervillians -- I'm going to be up there for Thanksgiving, and will have some free time Friday and Saturday (as far as I know. My mother has been known to Make Plans and not tell me). Anyone around? Want to get a cup of coffee or something?

Thanks, all,******** for the house-ma. We got the new apartment, just got back from meeting with our sweet new landlord. Yay for adorable tiny house and $700 less per month of rent!
BTW--it's about three blocks from the Safari Inn, where the LA F2F was held!

Always Anti-fascist!
Can I get a witness?(No, just some healthma for my mother...I've just listened to soul my whole life and wanted to say that.) Healthma should be aimed at Phoenix at 2PM mountain time. Thanks, all.
