Bypass surgery for my FiL, Ms. Havisham's dad, was a success! He has gotten his knitting back and already working on his next project in the hospital. Ms H and I will probably fly back and forth on and off for the next month to Maine to help with his transition, but thanks for all the 'ma and I release most of back into the wild...
It's all about the coat.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
So, tonight I conduct crew interviews for the training film I'm directing.
I haven't directed in a really long time, and then it was theatre, not video, so I'm fighting off a mild panic attack that I'm about to be "found out" when I try to talk people into joining me on a volunteer project that will take 3-4 days out of their lives.
If you've got any "don't make an ass or an idiot of yourself"~ma laying around I'd appreciate a shot of it.
Also, "find-the-right-DP~ma" would be helpful
Ta ever so.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hi. I'm married.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
so my BIL cracked his knee bone and he fractured his elbow. Tomorrow they do an MRI - hoping that they find no soft tissue damage and therefore no need for surgery.

In the morning, I'm leaving on a jet plane to stay at Dana's until Sunday night. Ping her if you need to reach me.

BIL's MRI went well - no need for a knofe. In fact, he can even flex his knee under 'controlled circumstances' . yay

That jobma is a powerful thing. I now have the terribly first-world problem of choosing between two offers! So I gladly release the ~ma back into the ether and hope it helps the next person as much as it did me.
Both these offers entail moving for a year, so, as a heads-up for anyone needing an apt in NY for the school year to come: I will definitely be subletting my rent-stabilized Brooklyn one-bedroom for at least a year ($1000, next to the Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden, on the 2/3/4/5 subway lines). If you're interested, you can email my profile addy for more details. If you want a relatively unbiased opinion on the place, you could also ask one of the NYistas: msbelle, jessica, trudy, and tom scola have all seen it.
ETA: Despite the two offers, this didn't need to be said twice!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Just heard from my best friend, she received job offers from both Maryland and Texas. Not, so far, from San Diego, unfortunately. Decision-ma for her and chill-ma for me as I prepare to see her go halfway or all the way across the country.

If I only had a brain...
Going gray for a long weekend; see y'all in a bit. All's well, no need to worry.
