I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

It's here! 5 countries in 11 days! I'll be going a nice shade of charcoal until the 25th, but may try to check in if internet cafes are plentiful like people say. Will return with many vacation pictures.

Au revoir!

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

So, the Haunted Ballad Series - Ringan, Penny et al - is adding a fourth member to the existing family: St. Martins just bought the fourth book. Working title is "Cruel Sister" - that may change, because of Stupid Publishing Tricks #3,765,902 - due out in fall 2006.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

As promised, photos from a Fangurl @ ComicCon 2004 have been uploaded here. I'm still trying to figure out the site's organizing functions, but the pics are viewable, at least (unless I screwed up the privacy settings... crosses fingers)

eta: And the photo titles all use character names rather than actor names, which I know is lame, but I forgot a couple of actor names (I know Groo was Mark...Something, etc.) And I'm a pedant for consistency.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I know I have been very dark, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I have just given notice at my job and I will be transferring to a new, wonderful job with great people in the nursing center at the University. I have to work out three weeks notice, and this could be hell, but, still a good move for me!

Always Anti-fascist!

My mother is having a minor outpatient surgery tomorrow, and I'd like some easy-recovery vibes for both of us. Can I get a witness?(Nah. Just always wanted to say that.)

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

Pete and Jilli are gonna be in L.A. from roughly Oct 26th to Nov 1st.

Yup, Halloween in L.A. I'll be working a big Magic event over the weekend and Jilli will be running loose! And Disneyland on the 31st.

Jilli's gonna put more details over in F2F...

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

My future MIL is headed to the emergency room as I type. DF is on his way to meet them. I'm stuck at home minding the animals and worrying myself into a state of exhausted wakefulness. Whatever ~ma you have to spare would be greatly appreciated.

Update: Future MIL has a fibroid mass that is believed to be benign, but we won't find out until pathology takes a look at it. Surgery needs to be scheduled ASAP, but it will be less invasive than originally feared.

Thanks for the ~ma. It's some powerful stuff; as such, I'd like to hold onto some low-level vibeage until she gets a clean bill of health.

Are you ready to be strong?

As of last week my work email is out of service, since I no longer officially work at that place. Please remove that address from yr books, if applicable. And if you sent me anything at work last week (or this week) I didn't get it--can you resend to my home address, (myfirstname)@mac.com? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I am internetless at home, and haven't been near a job that lets me use the computer, so I might be pretty dark for the next little while.
