There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Lo, these many weeks ago, I mentioned that I might be going to Seattle and Salem, OR. It looks like this is finally actually happening. If anyone is interested in getting together in the Seattle area (I'll actually be in Redmond and Whidby Island) June 18-24, please let me know. If anyone's near Salem, OR, I'll be there the 16-17. My profile addy is good. Plei, I've already emailed details to you.

I never post here, and I got a new job, so I thought I would. I'll be starting my first full-time job in the for-profit sector on either 6/27 or 6/29.

LA-istas: A friend of mine in LA has rescued 4 feral kittens (he describes them as "absolute fuzzy love bombs"), and is looking for homes for them. If anyone is looking for a new cat, or knows someone who is, go here and say so. [link]

Pictures of the kittens here: [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.

'Tis very early but I'm shitty at keeping secrets.

As of this morning, it looks like Owen's going to be a big brother.

Hey. New board.

I'm now a college graduate.

It's kind of a weird feeling.

I have several nice pieces of size 6 work clothes (including suits) that I was gonna put up on ebay. I thought I'd offer them here. I can send folks pictures if you are interested. profile addy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My dad had to be taken to the emergency room last night for abdominal pains and was sent home at 4:30 am on sedatives/painkillers. The tests for serious stuff all came back clear, so the doctor thinks it's probably either a pre-ulceric condition or gastritis. (Dad's high-risk for the latter between having acid reflux and taking aspirin daily.) He hadn't woken for the day as of the last update , so we don't yet know if the pain is continuing today. Any good health-ma would be greatly appreciated.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Good-parenting-ma requested. Long story short, my 16 yr old got arrested for the 3rd time yesterday. I'm so numb over it, I can barely think.

If I only had a brain...

I'm going to be dark-gray for a bit. New job is very satisfying but is all-consuming. Best wishes to all of yez.
