I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Some ~~ma please - Joe lost his job.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, crap, Aimee. Have my sister's job-ma back - she got the promotion she'd been slaving for. (Thanks for the -ma, folks!)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Freeing some of the health~ma back into the wilds. Mom is HOME. Her blood levels are within normal which means no more dialysis. The transplant is acting exactly as it should. Just working on post-surgery healing and all is good.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Buffista~ma is a wonderful thing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Looks like we're moving to Wisconsin. We'll be BADGERS.

DH's offer was too good to refuse. He's supposed to start in five weeks so I'll be temporarily insane what with the moving and the packing and the selling of the house.

Various periods of excitement followed by slight nausea may occur.

I hope our job~ma helps a few more buffistas.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Some health~ma for my mom, and some I-am-a-rock-to-my-mom-and-sisters~ma for me, please.

There's a lump.

And, totally sympathizing with Cashmere's future craziness, I am NOW IN SEATTLE! I can see fancy Seattle skyline, and water, from my sublet window! It's all very exciting.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'd like to request some car-ma. Constance seems to be having transmission problems, and is currently sitting in the parking lot of an auto repair place (Special thanks to Noise Design), while I am driving a rental (Special thanks to Cass). If you all could focus on "$1000 or less", that would be fantastic.

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

We can has cats!

We went to the local Petsmart and came home with a pair of 4-month old sisters named Luna and Nova. They are in the basement, adjusting. Tomorrow we let them explore the whole house.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Good news, bad news.

Good news first. Per PMM's words, I got tackle-hired in mid-September, less than a month after I was let go. And it's a good gig, lots of meaty mathematical problems to sink my teeth into.

Bad news: The hours are long and the commute is sub-optimal, so I'm going to remain a very dark charcoal grey until my body figures out how to cope with working 10-11 hours a day, commute for an hour each way, and get 8 hours of sleep a night and still have something resembling a life.

I hereby release the job ~ma with love to those who need it. Thanks, all of you. Your kind words kept me going when I was sure I was going to fall.

Verily, let it be said that you rock the house.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm going to be on TV today! If you live in an area where Merv Griffin's Crosswords is broadcast twice a day, mine will be the second show. I don't look like a total idiot but I did miss two embarrassingly Buffista words.
