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

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!

Need a favor. If anyone has a copy of the Wallace and Grommit movie, Curse of the Were-Rabbit, I need a descripation or screencap of a single frame/scene. If you can help me, drop me a line at cabil@aol.com

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.)

It seems that Gus has passed away

January 17th, at the month anniversary of his passing, we will be having a virtual wake for Gus.

Donations will be taken for a gift in his name to Oxfam (or other charity to be determined).

So, yeah. That random jobma I think I requested panned out, and I forgot to mention it here, because I'm spiffy keen like that, but anyhow, I have a job, and it has started, and today was day one of Kool Aide consumption, and I'll be dim until settled (however long THAT takes)! Wish me luck on the dark side of the force.
