A lovely woman I work with was pregnant with twins last year and lost the babies. She got pregnant again this year--again with twins, which her doctor said was REALLY rare--and is now on bedrest for early labor. She is almost to week 28, which is a good thing, but more time for the babies-ma would be much 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.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Can I request some fairly industrial-strength sort-it-out-ma? Work is the kind of happy that is un right now, and I rather desperately need A Plan, and preferably a better one than "hide under the covers and feel sorry for myself until it goes away".

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
My youngest sister is having emergency surgery on her gall bladder which is, apparently, "full of stones".
I can't help thinking that with health insurance it might not have gotten this advanced without being detected.
So ma to the kid. I'll let you know when she's out.

I applied for another job that I actually am qualified for and want. This usually means I won't get it, but if I could get a little job~ma, I might catch a break this time.

“Not dead yet!”
Requesting a little more legal ~ma for the situation with She Who Will Not Be Named. She's way overstepped her bounds and I'm trying to figure out what steps to take that don't involve physical violence.

She's out!
Due to inflamation they were worried they wouldn't be able to get it out laproscopically but they did! HOORAY!
The bad/good news is that it was really bad. There were two spots of gangrene. This is bad for obvious reasons -- who wants gangrene? Good, however, because apparently this has been going on for a while and hopefully a lot of the problems she's been having pain-wise for the past few months will be resolved now.
Thanks for the ~ma guys.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I know I haven't been around much lately due to the new job and school schedule, but if I could request some test~~ma for tomorrow morning from 7:15am to about 1:00pm Eastern I'd really appreciate it. I'm taking the Basic Skills Test which is a standardized test that I must pass in order to get accepted into the School of Education at my university. No admittance into the SoE and no teaching degree. I have been really bad at standardized tests in the past and I' m hoping to not be tomorrow, but I'm still really nervous cause if I don't get in, there are very few classes I'll be able to take next semester.
Thank you so much.
YAY TEACHERS AND TEACHING!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Bayistas (and anyone who will be visiting on Monday): I am starring in the first installment of SF Theatre Pub's October series: The Lovecraft Festival. Ours is an adaptation of Lovecraft's The Shunned House, and it's pretty darn awesome. Monday, October 18, starting at 8 p.m. I'd love it if people could come!

School Fundraising Alert: Mac's school is selling discount cards as a fundraiser. They work nationally (at places like Gap, Ann Taylor Loft, NY & Co., Scholastic Online Store, B&N.com) you can check out where you could get local discounts by clicking here: [link] then scrolling down to log on as a guest and then search by zip code. For a lot of the discounts you have to print out coupons only accessible on the site once you have a card, but some of the discounts are instant when you show the card at the stores. They are $20 each. If interested, please email me at rlb14 at columbia dot edu and we'll figure out payment stuff. THANKS.
