I'll be dark until Saturday evening due to Thanksgiving travel. See you all then!
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I am in L.A. There is currently talk (via the LAistas list) of a dinner Sunday, maybe at 8pm. Email me or Sean K if you're not on that list and are interested in joining us.

Another social casualty...
I have a job! I start Monday, and I'm really excited. Thanks to all who sent jobma. I now have extra -ma to spare if anyone needs it.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Our wings are not tired
Those of you who read Natter have heard what's going on with me.
I'm not really up to reposting it.
I just need some ~ma. I'm keeping it together but this isn't just going to go away and I don't have a really good plan of dealing with it.
Thanks.

Going to Maine and dark until Sunday for the gobble, gobble festivities.
Happy Turkey Day, wonderful Buffistas!
I'll see you on the other side of a few thousand Bitch and Natter posts.

I don't want to be hogging any ~ma, but...
Apparently dad has a tumor in his leg again. He had one there 7 years ago, and 14 years before that. Both were removed and both were benign and encapsulated so hopefully the trend will continue.
Why is it that I really fucking hate the holidays?
Oh yeah, that's right. THEY FUCKING HATE ME!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Forgot to mention--I'm in DC for the Thanksgiving holidays. Wish I've been around more, but we saw the National Gallery of Art (and giggled over the acronym it makes), the Mall (which is not the same as a mall), and the American History Museum at the Smithsonian. Needless to say, it is wicked cool.
I hope everyone's having a lovely T-day.

I'm back from England! Soon my body will twig to the fact that it's virtual-1:24 AM for me....

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
Interesting job news...
The desk I'm covering this week has been extended into next. I don't know what this means as I thought this was a vacation being covered. I like this place and would love to work here FT. Any -ma would be appreciated.
