Ms Havisham and I are going to attend NYCC. If anyone else plans on attending, drop us a line and let's arrange a Buffista meet-up?
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Our wings are not tired
I'm heading into a pretty crazy evening and day of interviews. I'm in the final stages of the interviews and such for a professor position and just checked into my hotel. I've got dinner with the search committee in about 30 minutes, and then tomorrow I'm on campus in meetings and interviews from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. This is a great position and one I'd really like to get so I'm requesting the power of Buffista ~ma.

Posting for ND since he's going to be too pooped to post by the time he gets home: I just got off the phone with him. The interviews at UCI went really well, and he feels good about the experience and thinks he made a good impression. However, he has no idea when they will make a decision and get back to him...it could be a few days or a few months. Now we wait. While we wait, continued job~ma would be appreciated.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
My next radio show is tomorrow night. The segment title is Let a Thousand Mollys Bloom (inaugural show was a tribute to Molly Ivins), and I'll be talking to some political activists who made the move from blogging to action.
Wish me luck, and if you want to call in and talk about Texas politics (yeah, right) or Molly or what's going on in the news, I hope you'll join us.
You can also download the archived show in the almost unconceivable instance you have something better to do, and help me count the "uhms" in my speaking-cuz I'm trying to break myself of that on the radio...
/shameless plug
Also, as my contract gig is ending Wed, and I don't know what I'm going to do for income next, a dollop or two of the job~ma would be much appreciated.
And a paying radio gig if there's one to spare...

I wrote up an account of my experiences filming the White Castle commercial. It starts wordily here, continues even more wordily here, and wraps up succinctly here.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I just sent out my applications for the graduate programs at York and Cardiff. I'd appreciate any -ma you might have to spare, because I'm really hoping for this!

Damn it. I have to take S to the ER again. She'll probably be in the hospital all weekend. Hopefully not any longer, but it's always difficult to tell.
All the ~ma you can spare please. Towards the LA area.

a missive from Robin's DH:
Hi, Friends --
Robin asked me to give you a report on her day today.
She came through her surgery with flying colors, and she is well. Surgery took a little longer than expected, due to extensive scarring from endometriosis, but other than that, no unforseen complications or difficulties. She’s groggy but not in too much pain right now, and happy to be finished with the surgery.
She’ll be back home by Friday, hopefully. Until then she’s at Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Burbank under the name “Robin Miller.” Please don't send flowers, as Jason is allergic to them.
Thanks for your good thoughts.
Best,
Jason

I'd like to ask for a bit of sanity~ma. All of my applications and interviews with UCI have been done for almost two weeks and now I'm just in the zone of waiting to hear about the job. I think I'm slowly going insane. I really want this job and just waiting it about to drive me totally nuts.
