Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

And we will call it... "This Land."

Retroactive to about, um... last August? I'm going lurky. On walkabout. It may have been the prescriptions, but that's another story.

That short story of mine that was accepted lo these many moons ago has finally seen the light of day in an anthology called "Closet Desire IV". Amazon has it. Warning: may contain icky porn. And, hopefully, some good porn too. My story is called "Freestyle".

Have not quit the day job. Still at the same day job, in fact. Maybe this print shop will survive my curse: place shuts down, gets bought by another print shop, and they ship me over along with the Macs and a few printing presses. Packing tape is less fun than you'd think.

It meant a lot to me that people remembered me at the F2F. It was so good to see everyone -- and so many new faces -- even if I was too shy to talk half the time and kind of used my knitting to hide. Even knitting, I was in good company.

I know I'm not about so much these days, but I'd like to request a little exam-ma for tomorrow afternoon and the afternoon of June 11th. Big exams, halfway through an important course, all that stuff.

And thanks for being here, guys. You've made me smile when I needed a smile more times than you'll ever know, especially since I moved back towards lurkerdom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Just a few pictures from the nc-ista finale party

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

If I only had a brain...

My dad's out of surgery. The Whipple procedure went well, and he only needed half a unit of blood. He'll be in the ICU for the next few days while they sort out his heart medication.

Thanks for all the -ma.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ma~ma for my mom, a breast cancer survivor who just found out she has a tumor on her ovary and what my be uterine cancer. I'm flying out next week to help her recover from her hysterectomy.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Going dark again...for the holiday. Don't have too much fun without me, please. See you on Tuesday.

Who? moi??

Going dark (and to Baycon) for the long weekend. Will be back to lurking on Monday or Tuesday.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I'll be at BayCon this weekend, doing panels and a reading or two, in San Jose. Anyone lurking whom I may not know, and who might wander in and introduce themselves, well, I'd be very pleased.

Going dark for the weekend; everybody have a safe and fun few days.
