Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

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

I've posted my recap of my wedding day here:

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Because Matt just got home ( this am) I am behind in all threads - but I wanted to let everyone know he arrived home safely. And he is still cute.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I have a job interview at 1pm Eastern time (10:00 board time, I think), so any prayers, spare ~ma, etc. would be more than welcome.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Starting tomorrow I will be gray for a few days while I'm at Worldcon, followed by a week or so of darkness as I go to Italy for my honeymoon.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

If there's any spare health~ma going around I could use some for my BF. He's suffering from kidney stones at the moment.

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

Couple of quickies:

L.A. peoples! Nic and I will be coming down for a desperately-needed weekend away, from 24th to 27th September (Monday afternoon through Friday morning. Dinner, anyone? Email me at the profile address.

Also, must preen: I was interviewed for Mary Sharratt's ("Summit Avenue", "The Real Minerva") blog

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My exam results are in:

Linear Algebra and Advanced Calculus: Ph. D. Pass with Distinction
Real and Complex Analysis: Ph. D. Pass
Algebra: Masters Pass, Ph. D. Fail

So, I need to retake Algebra in January, but the other two are good.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Dark until Wednesday as we're headed to Chicago for an actuarial seminar (oooooh, how fun is THAT going to be?).

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

Okay, I'm headed out for Cambridge to pick up Tom Scola, and then we're off to meet up with Lee in Maine. I'll surely be grey for the week, and probably dark, depending upon the state of the phone connection to Lee's house.

Have a good week all.

Our wings are not tired.

Just checking in to let you know we have weathered the storm. We lost much of our ackee tree, much of our leche, and a huge avacado is history. Many trees down in the neighborhood. Power lines down and doing the sparky dance. We have no structural damage and half power. No 220 (A/C, hot water, stove), but much of the rest is working until they shut us off to repair the downed lines.

Yes, there will be pictures!

We haven't heard from Bahamian family yet. We appreciate all the ~ma that was headed our way.
