The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Not to be an intentional echo of Am-Chau, but I'll also be going dark due to computer issues. I may check in from time to time from work, but other than that, I'll be extremely dim for about a week.

I'm going dark for a week or two. I'll still be reading email, so anyone who has a Mac problem they need help with, please feel free to contact me via my profile address. Also, the folks who got the Palms, send me email if you need help getting them going.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

I'll probably be dark tomorrow--nothing serious, we're just putting in carpet and have to disassemble stuff. I'll miss you, even if you don't notice.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Back from unplanned darkness due to moving the computer (AGAIN) and lack of adequate coax cable issues. I really missed this place.

I need those patented Buffista job vibes for Hubby tomorrow. He's got an interview at a place very likely to hire him, but hey, all the good vibes one can get.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My papa (father's dad) is getting better and stronger. My mom called early this morning to tell me that her dad, (my grampa) has lung cancer. It has matasticized (I know I didn't spell that right). He lost forty pounds in the last two months.

I don't think there is a lot of time. My mom and my aunts are taking turns taking FMLA time to stay with him so he can stay in his own house.

I'm going to try and get home so I can hang out with him while he's lucid, because I think all they can really do is pain management.

This is the thing that sucks so much about being three thousand miles away from home.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

FOR HOLLI (or really anyone) BECAUSE I KEEP MISSING HER:

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Good vibes for the doggy please.

I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow to have some bumps removed.

I haven't talked about this at all since I'm trying to see it as just something that has to be done, but I'm beginning to be concerned.

Our wings are not tired.

I seek the effective Buffista jobma vibes. My largest client is having their big board meeting 4:15 EST today to approve programming expenditures for the entire year. They have accounted for about half of my total income for the past few years so it is very important. Any lighting of candles, saying of prayers, or other Buffista vibing is truly appreciated.
