I am proctoring some of the accommodated applicants at the California State Bar. I will be locked in a room with 10 really nervous people.
If I escape alive I will thank you all.
Much ~ma would be appreciated.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
You may or may not have noticed my absence. There are a lot of things keeping me busy and b.org is a hard place to come back to and catch up if you're not reading regularly. I hope to keep my hand in here, but I don't know how long it'll be 'til I manage to get into a groove with fitting b.org into my websurfing again. (And I find I'm losing track of who's who on LJ on top of it all. I can only track one alias per person.)
I'm reachable at spidra@speakeasy.net in the meantime.
I'm hoping I can still get to know the various Bay Area Buffistae better in person even if I end up slacking online.

Californistas, ahoy. Especially the TAR-watching ones.
Remeber back a few months ago my sister and I did something called Urban Dare, a sort of mini one-city Amazing Race? We had a blast, and are already lining up folks to do it with us next year.
I just got an email from the race organizer that they've added a few California dates to the calendar:
Urban Dare Santa Monica will take place on Saturday, August 26. The 11AM start will be right on the beach on the south side of the Santa Monica Pier. I have some good challenges lined up for you.
I'm not sure yet where we will start the September 23 Urban Dare San Diego, but the race will cover the downtown area. After the Santa Monica race, I'll go back for more scouting.
Urban Dare San Francisco takes place on Saturday, October 8. Needless to say, there will be some hills on this course.
You can check it out here: [link]
I strongly encourage y'all to check it out. You don't have to be athletes, though it doesn't hurt to be able to jog a few blocks.

My wig and cat and I are in San Francisco (area) safe and sound, despite the best efforts of the Canadian border guard; Park City, Utah; and the bizarre Bay Area highway system to derail us.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I also have a place! The paperwork has been signed, and I'll be moving in at the end of August/beginning of September. It's very pretty and in a nice location.

My MIL, who has terminal brain/lung/bone cancer is in hospital, in a coma, severly dehydrated, malnourished, in renal failure and with dropping 02 stats. The doctors/nurses at the hospital are not optimistic that she will come out of it.
~ma of all kinds would be appreciated.
So very sad.

My mother-in-law passed away this morning, in the arms of her son. So very sad and so very tragic.
