Seems minor, but I just came home from work and found our cat, Patches, dead. She was very old, and had been failing for a while, but still.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
I'm building a new PC and am at the stage where I'll be cannibalizing drives and cards off the old one, so, shutting down. Hope I return.

Hey. New board.
So a couple of days ago I sent in a resumé and cover letter, on a whim, to a new performing arts school opening next year. The more I thought about it, the more I realized it would be the perfect position for me
I just got an email from the principal, and I have to do a phone interview tomorrow, and I HATE phone interviews, and I would love some phone-interview-ma. Please. Thanks. Bye.

DCistas, I will be in your fair city this weekend. Staying somewhere near GW, though I don't have the details yet. My cell and email are in my profile if anyone wants to try to get together. Plans for the weekend are vague, but will likely include libations at various establishments.

AnotherAlaskan, who used to post here, just found out that his mother has had a massive heart attack and is not expected to live through tomorrow. He's flying out to LA this afternoon, hoping to get there before she passes. He didn't ask, but I know he would appreciate peaceful passing ~ma for his mom and strength and coping ~ma for himself and the rest of his family.

I'm grey-ish this weekend -- driving to Mom in PA, then up to the Catskills for family reunion-type action. Thank goodness for iPods, Science Friday podcasts, and the fact that my family is mostly worth all the driving!
