I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I've posted pictures of Carmarthen, the place I'm staying at here in Wales.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm not sure who I've been keeping in the loop on this, but now that things are settled, I figure it's safe to share.
We've been hoping to buy the family home, which I guess makes us crazy enough to participate in LA real estate, but at least gives us a leg up. Anyway, we made an offer and my siblings accepted it. We've secured a loan. Looks like it's official.
We own our very own DUMP! um, yay?!

I'm off to Germany. I'll be gone until Monday, not completely sure about the internet situation. I'm a little freaked, what with the complete lack of planning I've done for this trip, not knowing the language, not knowing what to see, etc. So I'd appreciate any travel-ma and don't-act-stupid-ma that you feel inclined to send across the ocean. Ta, and bye.

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

Thank you for you love, your impeccable manners at the dinner table, and your infallible purr
May you find you place of never ending up, squirrels and birds to play with, warm sun patches, tuna fish to eat, and grass to chew.
We will miss you

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
Requesting some forceful not-serious cancer~ma for a very good friend. She has uterine cancer but the severity has not been determined. At the very least she will have to have a hysterectomy.
When it rains, it pours. Also asking that you extend that ~ma a bit further for another good friend who just found out she has a lump on her breast. Her next doctor's appointment is this week.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
This is an informative message for my Secret Santa, anyone else who is sending things my way, and the general populace.
December 16th, I am going home, and I don't know about my Internet access.
December 18th, I will be flying to India.
January 9, I will be returning home, and I don't know about my Internet access.
January 10, I will be returning to Ann Arbor.
The take-home message is not only "I'm going to be hella dark over the holidays" but also: please don't mail anything to me until early January. I'd rather it not sit in the post office or the apartment lobby for a couple weeks.
