Hi from Dublin! Just wanted to let you know that, despite bumps that included my car blowing up and having my stuff stolen, I've managed to get settled in here in Ireland relatively easily and am now in possession of an apartment, a job, and something resembling a social life. It's not a bad situation to be in! I miss you all, hope everything is well with you.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Going dark grey until Monday night as I head to Chicago for the Touch & Go 25th Anniversary festival.

Look Ma! I've got a TV show!
So, I'm a complete idiot. I totally failed to pimp my TV show, which was broadcast on Comedy Central LAST NIGHT.
However, being Comedy Central, they have generously agreed to give me several more broadcasts, that I may pimp it to you again, so here it is:
Legends: Rodney Dangerfield is the first in (we hope) a new series of documentaries that take you inside the mind of legendary comediens from the people and fellow comics who knew him best. Our premiere broadcast was last night, but you may catch it again at any of the following times --
Tuesday 9/12 at 10:00pm, and again at Midnight Thursday 9/14 at 7:00pm and Saturday 9/16 at 7:00pm
I'm sure they'll rerun it a time or two after that, but those are the ones listed at the CC web site. SET YOUR VCR! SET YOUR TiVo! TELL YOUR WIFE AND KIDS (if they still talk to you)!
And if you'd like to see some clips, go here, and look in the bottom of the right hand column.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'll be dark a little while longer, but for those who know what the hell I'm talking about... She said yes.

Mom goes into surgery at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time. She is getting her hip replaced. She's been in a great deal of pain for some time now, and physical therapy has stopped working. So, this is a good thing. But, still, surgery is scary. Any ~ma you can spare is greatly appreciated.

Mom is good. On Blackberry. More later.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH and I are off to Paris and London for ten days! We'll be pretty dark grey until we get back. Au revoir!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Anyone who hasn't heard through the grapevine and wondered where I've disappeared to...the IT Dept. at work has turned up the blocking software recently. One of the consequences of which has been to make Buffistas completely unavailable to me on weekdays. As I'm in classes several nights a week, and my laptop is still a large paperweight, I'll be continuing quite dark for the foreseeable future.
Profile addy's good if anyone would like to drop me a line. Miss you guys.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
My oldest uncle is in the hospital with aspiration pneumonia. Yesterday, the doctor called to ask whether I wanted her to install a stomach tube or put my uncle on "comfort care." I asked for a speech therapist to be brought in for consultation/evaluation, but otherwise still haven't answered.
