My Uncle died this morning. He was father of 4, stepfather to 4 and grandfather to 22, lifelong lefty political activist, a Federal Judge, avid sailor, and funny as hell. I will be in Chicago for the service this weekend. I would love to see Buffistas, but I don't think I will get a minute away from my family.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Compassionately intolerant
This is a request for totally self-serving ~ma.
I just damaged my best friend's Range Rover in the garage of her office building. She is unbelievably generous in lending to me for errands and has been generous in lots of other ways.
I'm just sick.
It isn't the worst damage imaginable...tail light covering broken and a fairly significant gouge in the side panel, including a dime sized hole. However, blinking at this car costs huge dollars that I don't have.
I'm waiting for her to come back from a lunch meeting right before she takes her dogs to the vet and leaves for vacation. Her husband, who can't stand disorder, is coming into town tomorrow.
Please, any good thoughts for her not hating me and for the cost to be something less than $1,000 would be greatly appreciated.

My newest blog post at Little but Fierce is up: PEEP SHOW! It's not what you think.
It's better.
(This may also clarify why I know I have found my One True School.)

So we launched ND's business website finally this weekend: Diablo Sound. In order to slowly move it up google's search list, we would love it if anyone who feels comfortable could post a link to it from your blog, website, etc. No worries if you can't or don't feel it would be appropriate.
It's still a work in progress, and I'm a very newbie webdesigner using Dreamweaver, so please be kind. Thanks!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Kier-La Janisse of Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas made a documentary movie based on my book (with Kim) Bubblegum Music Is the Naked Truth.
It's screening in San Francisco this Thursday night (4/30 @8pm).
edit: It's on this Thursday. Not Friday.
I'll be present to do a Q&A afterwords.
Please come! There will be beer and The Banana Splits. Lots of clips of classic Bubblegum in all it's bizarre glory.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My dad had very serious back surgery today and it got a little touch and go. A little ~ma, prayer or thoughts his way as he recovers would be appreciated.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What time and where? I can probably get out of here a bit early to beat rush hour.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Move it to F2F, peeps.
