Having a smashing time in London, increased by the fact that Thursday night, I went to see The Pirates of Penzance. 4th row, center. Pirate King played by...Anthony Stewart Head.
The man, if I may say, looks damn good in leather pants and eyeliner.
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Thanks for the Jobma folks, but Target decided to go in-house for their Mac Tech guy.
Oh well.

Chicagoistas, your number will soon be increasing by one.
Yes, at long last, I have a new job! And it's in Chicago, which was my goal. I start in a couple of weeks, and I'll probably be doing some combination of commuting and bunking on people's couches for the first month while I get myself settled and find a place to live.
This has been a long time coming, and I'm both excited and a little bit terrified right now. Thanks so much for the jobma floating around out there (even though I didn't ask for it this go round - jinxes, you know) and especially to Susan and vw for resume advice and to Hec for talking me down from a couple of ledges here and there along the way. My share of the jobma is now gratefully directed back to Daniel and others in need.

Emily and vw? Package arrived yesterday. I opened it up and laughed like a loon. Have been happily munching on cookies.
Muchas gracias. You two rock!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
My grandmother has been diagnosed with malignant skin cancer (no, I don't have anything more specific than that); surgery is scheduled for the 27th, but may be moved up if a slot becomes available.
My younger sister has been having seizures and vision problems; she has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor. "Recently" in this case being the beginning of December: my father informed me of it this evening. Health~ma for them, if you would, and keep-from-killing-them-for-letting-me-find-out-like-this~ma for me. Thanks.

Thrive to spite them
My brother leaves for New Zealand later tonight (he's in LA right now) and I'm asking for a little travel-ma for him.
He's going to NZ to go to school.
He's been told that he'll have more hoops to jump through in regards to security because he's travelling with a one way ticket. Also when he gets to NZ he's student visa isn't finalized, although the university he'll be at said there wouldn't be a problem once he's there.

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
Upon the occasion of his Brother John's recent heart surgery, my Uncle Carl booked a visit with a cardiologist.
Tuesday was the office vist. Yesterday they did tests and immediatly admitted him. This morning he had a quadruple bypass.
He's ok. There was some difficulty cracking his chest, however, so he's looking at a rough recovery. Prayers, true love and ~ma much appreciated.

I am back safe from London and looking gratefully and longingly at my bed. Full report later.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Requesting some health-ma for my mom. She's having surgery on her tongue tomorrow. So some vibes for quick healing and no recurring problems would be appreciated.
