Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

If anyone's got some extra ~ma lying around, could you please send it in the direction of my sister and cousin? They were in a serious car accident early Sunday morning. His car is totaled, he's still in the hospital, and my sister needs surgery on her hand. The police and EMS said it's a miracle they weren't killed. It was car versus bridge retaining wall so no one else was involved.

A little no-breakdown~ma for me as well, please. I'm so very tired of this.

Hopefully this is the last bit of ~ma I will be requesting for a long, long while.

My sister goes in for surgery to repair her finger tomorrow at 11 am EST. Please send whatever you've got left her way. Thanks so much from all of us.

Hello, all. Just popping in to say that I will be in the Bay Area from Jan 13th to the 27th. I think Suzi's going to try and organize something. As always, you can email me at my profile addy or come comment in my lj.

It's official! I am leaving The Office behind and going to a new place that by all indications is not populated entirely by soul-sucking crazy people.

Releasing the jobma into the wild is such a good feeling.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'll be dark for the next few days as I go to visit my parents.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

hi all! just wanted to let ya'll know that, despite fog and crazy cabdrivers and wacky no-room-at-the-inn hijinks (sadly appropriate for the season!) fay and I have both arrived safely from our various locales to london.

(eragorn was very, *very* amusing, and sushi saves sanity.)

merry chrismakwanzikkuh!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Greg (my husband in case I haven't burbled about him enough) has built a horror reference website at [link]

Greg is a member of his library's Readers Advisory Team and is known as The Undead Rat because of his interest in horror. The website contains lists of horror novels, graphic novels, non-fiction writing on horror, etc.--a place to find that book by that author you can't quite remember, or to find other books by that author you like, or to find more ghost stories or vampire novels or award winners--whatever your horror interest. There are about 135 pages of horror available, so it shouldn't be too hard to find something. (He also asked me to mention that he's considering this the beta version. There may be a link or two that doesn't work yet, and probably a spelling error here or there.)
