It looks like I'm going to be dark grey for a while. I expected it when I head out of town for work in early May, but it looks like the prep work for the trip is making me darker grey than the trip likely itself likely will. Also, I'm doing some things at work and home that are good and exciting but not within my comfort level (cold calls - eek!), so some not-to-much-adrenaline-so-my-life-doesn't-give-me-a-heart-attack ~ma would would be greatly appreciated.

I wasn't among the people killed in Dahab, in case anyone was worried. It is a public holiday, but I'm still up in Cairo, where my family are visiting.

I'm new, so I hope I'm not doing anything that will get me exiled from the Whedonverse.

Just wanted to let the 'verse know that sunnydale_salvage is a new seller at eBay (just a seller, not yet a store), and you might want to check out my auctions occasionally (I have to move to a smaller place, so I'm forced to sell off most of my collection of "Buffy" and "Angel" memorabilia).

Right now I've got some autographed photos listed for sale on eBay... soon, I'll have more autographed photos... a few signed T-shirts... & misc stuff like mousepads, lunchboxes, a few art prints... (plus, whatever I turn up at the bottom of the crater).

So please visit eBay occasionally & see what sunnydale_salvage has to offer!

(Y'know, digging to the bottom of that crater wasn't easy, and if you think all the Hellmouthy demons got killed dead in the collapse, think again... it's a dusty, dangerous place at the bottom of that big hole where Sunnydale used to be...which, come to think of it, sounds pretty much like the old above-ground Sunnydale....)

Anyway, thanks for taking note (and, if I've chosen the wrong thread for this sort of ad, please push me gently in the right direction. THANKS!)

I got called in for a second interview at UCB. All your jobma are belong to me. I hope.

I have officially taken a teaching job in Colorado (about half an hour outside of Aspen). I'll be moving there by Mid-August. I love the school, and the area's epically gorgeous, so I'm quite chuffed.

Likely will be more so in a few weeks, when I finish my albums and exams, so if I can get some pass-ma, that'd be wonderful.

A little medical~ma would be appreciated today (Thursday) at 10:30 am EDT. I'm having something checked out that may or may not be an issue.

Ooooh, Spidra, releasing my job~ma in your direction:

I got word today that I start training on Tuesday for the new job.

The ~ma worked! It's not serious and totally treatable.

Thank you!

When I announced that my church had burned last month (only last month!), several folks asked how they could donate. For those who are interested, the church is finally set up to accept online donations at [link] I'm still dark grey, probably until mid-May, so please email my profile addy with any questions or comments.

While financial donations are welcome, your moral support in the form of ~ma, prayer, good thoughts, and sympathy, have made the biggest difference to me. Thank you.

Nick's band has a chance at Warped Tour this year. If you'd like to help, go to: [link] and listen to the songs. Your vote will count once a day. He says thanks for any help you can give them.
