Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
It looks like I'll be going dark grey for a while. Work access is limited right now, and I just don't have time to do much on the computer at home, with a dial-up connection and work on conference getting fast and furious. I'll pop by when I can. Conference is early March, so I hope to be by more after that. My profile addy is still good, and I check it pretty regularly.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
A quick update on my friend: he's off the respirator and breathing on his own, he's been taken off the sedatives, and can now nod or shake his head appropriately when his wife asks him yes/no questions.
A direct quote from one of the people who are part of the front-line support for him and his wife: Whatever songs y'all are singing, candles you're lighting, prayers your repeating, trees you're talking to, or powers-that-be you're arguing with, it's working better and better all the time.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I got my first bone fide paycheck for my new temp job Friday.
Of course that means that my Minnesota State medical insurance will be cut off as of January 31st. This will leave me with the added expense of about $200/month for Avandia and Accu-Chek strips. I will have about a month's supply of both, so I won't need immediate purchasing, thank goodness.
However, should any of you have a cheap (and trusted) online/meatspace source you trust for Avandia 4mg and Accu-Check comfort curve strips, drop me a line at my profile addy when you get a chance in the next few weeks.
I want to narrow down the possibilities way ahead of time.
I am requesting either permanent employment~ma, or continuation of the temp past 6 weeks~ma.
Thanks to everyone who has been vibing the ~ma for me to get work!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We are officially homeowners now. The escrow closed late last week.
Welcome to mortgage, huh?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Just wanted to thank everybody for all the exam~ma for my qualifying exam last week. I finally got the official result, and it's a Ph. D. Pass with Distinction.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
This is the first time in a long time (possibly ever) that I've been apocalyptic about the possibility of good things, and I'm a bit nervous.
My perfect job has been posted. I have applied. My application has been received.
Job~ma would be so very much appreciated.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Ms. Allyson rocks like a rockin' thing, she does.
She's managed to get me an incredibly short-notice signing event in Los Angeles next weekend:
Saturday, 5 February, at 4:00 p.m.
The Mystery Bookstore
1036-C Broxton Avenue
Los Angeles, California 90024
I would dearly love to see a whole passle (passel?) of LAistas at this one - it should only go an hour, so no one's bottom will suffer unduly.
Thanks again, Allyson!
