I'll be around less often this week as I visit my Dad in Arlington, MA and Laura's folks in New London, CT.

I made it safely back from Burbank. Finally. Weekend spent in haze of utter exhaustion and beer.

Already miss Consuela and the LAistas.

Need to be dead now.

I will be in San Francisco on holiday from December 14 through December 20th. I'll be staying in a Hotel in Hec's neighborhood.

And hey! That just happens to coincide with the premier of T2T, which occurs on Wednesday, December 18th.

I will be available any evening for get-togethers, but especially want to do something for the premier, and I want to make sure I get movie tickets beforehand.

My wrists are in a bad, bad way--my tendonitis is back and it's taking no prisoners. As such, I won't be posting much and will probably be skipping and skimming a lot to avoid the temptation to natter.

If you need to be in touch, email me and I'll respond with my telephone number.

I'm going to be dark over the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving, Americans; nyah nyah nyah you don't get a day off to everybody else.

Good News For Beep Me: I've got a very good shot at getting published in a national magazine! Further details in "Great Write Way", this is just the attention-seeking behavior therapists used to warn me about. And you will not get rid of me over Turkey day, cause you guys are my most favorite homicide preventative.I mean, since we took the attorney off speed-dial.

I am requesting vibes. I have a presentation tomorrow evening for a class that has been a bit of a disaster. Our prof gave us a huge term assignment, failed to teach us many of the elements required for the assignment, and now expects us to pack an hours worth of material into 15 minutes. The presentation shows little of the actual work we have done because we had to gloss over so much of it for time. But at least that part will be over.

Also, I realized that in my panic about this class, I forgot about a meeting of my co-op tomorrow, and, as the secretary, I'm leaving them high and dry without minutes of the last meeting or someone to take them.

I'm feeling exhausted, pissed off and guilty all at once.

all righty -- going dark, or maybe if I am lucky dark grey( gray) will see y'all next tuesday -- but knowing me I won't skip , but I will skim....Happy turkey day to all the americans -- and well everyone else -- good thursday...

A quick stop in...flight was fine. My grandma's short term memory is pretty much shot. It's hard and sad. Vibes, good thoughts, and prayers appreciated.
