Well, I'm on my way across the country to my new home in Burbank. The car is a tad full—even more so when you consider the two extremely unhappy felines in the back. 77 miles in, and we've already had to stop three times for various cat trauma. Hoping for smoother sailing for the next 3300+ miles. Safe travel and happy new life -ma would be appreciated. I don't know if I've ever been more terrified...or more excited...in my life.

This afternoon I'm having a 'get to know you over coffee' meeting with the hiring manager for the full-time job I applied for. Yes, we want to interview you ~ma would be greatly appreciated.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Hey there y'all. Almanzo and I have finally got everything set down for our move, and in between Milwaukee and Sydney, we've got a couple days in LA from August 4-7.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Now I have AIM. My screen name is DoctorFateJSA (I got it for a role playing game) but now that I have it, people can add me to their buddy lists. (Because I'm still figuring out how to do that.)

I just wanted to let everyone know that, 3101 miles and four days of hard driving later, I arrived in Burbank last night around 11. I guess this makes me an Laista! I haven't forgotten my roots, though—my inner Somervillian will stay strong.
Thanks for all the support along the way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm back in Brooklyn, safe and sound after a slightly more eventful drive home than we'd planned (minor car accident in the middle of upstate NY -- only the car was hurt, but since we had to stop and replace a blown-out tire, we got home a day late).
Canada was wonderful, and I miss it already. I'm thousands of posts behind, but sloooowly catching up.
[eta: Photos from the trip begin here (just click "next" until you get to the end -- "prev" will take you back in time to last year's pics). Titles and descriptions are forthcoming.]

It's a remora, dimwit.
This is my last yapping at you until I'm a couple timezones away. So if anyone in LA would like to just say hi or offer directions to a Roscoe's or something, please leave a message on Almanzo's (aka. Chris) cell phone - 414-807-7088. We hope to see a few people while we're out there from the 4th to the 7th.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Starting this evening, I will be pretty much dark(might get access to e-mail once in a while) until the 15th, as I travel to Glasgow.
