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.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

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

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!

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.

Family arriving soon for Thanksgiving, so I'll be dark for a bit. Happy Harvest Holiday to all!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'll be dark until Saturday evening due to Thanksgiving travel. See you all then!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Let's see...
- packed
- all documents in order
- forwarding put on phone mail and work mail
- worldly affairs in order
I guess I can go to England after all.
Also, I wish to announce -- by dint of more or less sketching in the remaining bit of smutscene, and skipping ahead to the denouement I was able to legitimately write "The End" on the Body Swap story this morning. It needs a rather strong rewrite and beta phase but at the moment it is a complete WIP. Go Me!
I'm not sure how much I'll get to check here. I plan to try to check my email once a day at Internet cafes and perhaps the board too, but we'll see on that.... Take care and see you next week!
