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

Anyone else in NYC see the big freakin helicopters over Central Park? Looks like the Marines are landing on the Sheep Meadow . Sheesh.

Seriously, any clues?

Now tagless for your comfort.

For those of you not yet assimilated, I have five gmail invites to give away. If you want one, please contact me at lisa dot pett at gmail dot com.

I had six a few minutes ago and I didn't give any away, so I think they start taking them away if you don't give them out soon enough.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

I also have a few. Ping me at my profile email. First come first serve.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Hullo, folks. Dropping in for a moment of your time.

I've updated my photo album here with all the pictures I've taken this summer, including the most recent trip to Seattle. New pictures of Jilli! Plei! Pete! Tell me what you think; you can pop me an email at my profile address.

I'm still going to be updating my travel journal, though I'm a bit behind now. I leave for Wales, for my term abroad, on Wednesday. Wish me luck for a safe and easygoing plane ride. I can't wait!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

A brief surfacing to wave hello at everyone, to thank them for their support and love, and a HUGE thank you to the Nilly-Q attendees for my card. Also a thank you to Cindy and Sparky1 for the sixpence, and to Deena for the nummy-smelling bath bomb. Deb is here and doing well, and we're about 2 1/2 hours from time. Z & I are just relaxing, futzing around online. It's a good day.

It's also been a wild ride. Thank you all so much for your support.

(I'm getting married!! Holy shit!)

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

The ever less elusive Gmail invite: Yes, I know it's shocking, but I have some to give away. Six to be exact. Ping me at my profile addy if you want one, or let me know if someone you know wants one. Yeah, you get the picture.

Lurkers welcome.

Edit: Even after giving away 3, I still have 6. I'm starting to feel a little less special. These invites are still free, to a good home.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I have a new niece!!

Going all manner of dark for the next indeterminate while to wrangle life issues.

Be well!

Dragoncon-goers: Remember that I live in Atlanta. I know that you'll be involved in con activities, but if you need any help, let me know. Profile address is good.

Also, if anyone tried to contact me in the last week or so by my profile address, I may not have gotten the e-mail due to excessive spam-fighting efforts. It's fixed now.
