My mom's birthday today. Kind thoughts appreciated.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

My placement agency is submitting me for a part-time games-related editing job, and I really really want it. Could the Hive Mind vibe employment goodness please?

... aaaaaand I just found out a former boss (the one I *liked* at the last job) just got asked by another former manager for my contact info, because they want to see if they can get me on their new team. Meep! So continued job vibe-iness would be spiffy.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
My brother lost his house in last Friday's tornados here in the midwest. He's fine, even though he was in the middle of it. All the critters came out fine too.
Good Buffista vibes for him and SIL wading through the insurance maze would be much appreciated.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Right, so not only am I dim for the weekend, but my email's gone kaput until --- well, probably forever. Until this can be resolved, and I can get a new email address, you can reach me at sarah_throop (at) berea.edu. I'd rather not spread this one around though, as it's mainly academic.
Thanks.

If I only had a brain...
The sale on the NC house just closed!
WAHHOOOOOO! No more payments! No more repairs! No more abortive sales!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm going dark for the weekend. One of my girls father died on Tuesday, and two of us are going home to see her for the memorial.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Not apocalyptic, but: I have two really pretty formal dresses, and two formal dances. Help me decide which to wear to what.

Packing is happening in the bedroom, and everything except money-exchange has happened, so it must mean that I'm just a few hours away from a month's holiday in Vietnam (and also that I'm talking to you guys instead of helping with the packing).
I'm presumably going to be dark until November, though for all I know internet access is ubiquitous and cheap in Saigon the way it is everywhere else these days. But more to the point, as much as I love you guys and value your company, it'll be good to get away from eight or nine hours a day on the computer and actually, you know, hang out in the real world, and a very interesting part of it too.
I'll definitely check email every once in a while, so use johninsaigon@yahoo.com.au between now and the end of October.
