Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Update the last: My dad is sprung and on his way home. Instead of sleeping 12 hours straight, like I should, I am going to see the Pixies. Thanks for all the -ma

Kitty update: We got to bring Tzepesh home today, and he didn't have to have a feeding tube put in. He's going to be on a bunch of meds for a while, but right now he is in the kitchen, happily scattering kibble around while he eats.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Driving by to request cat~ma. Victor is in the hospital. Briefly, he's having problems with a number of organs, including a partially collapsed lung. The vets are still doing tests, but the prime candidates are FIP, lymphoma, and systemic infection.

We're hoping for anything but FIP. FIP is fast, painful, and non-treatable. If it's that, we'll probably put him to sleep immediately. Even lymphoma would be treatable.

He's on heavy-duty antibiotics. When we visited him yesterday, he was acting more like his old self -- even had a healthy appetite. So we're hoping.

Looks like I'll need to ask for some health~ma in addition to the job~ma. My BIL tried to commit suicide. We won't know until morning how much damage his organs took.

This week has kinda sucked.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I hate to ask for something as petty as job~ma after Gud's post. But I could really use it tommorrow around 2:00 pm CST.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I got laid off this morning. I think my (former) company might be imploding. Some transition~ma for all involved would be appreciated, and I'd like mine with a little New Orleans flavor, thanks.

Looks like I'll still be needed that job~ma. I got laid off today. Well, technically tomorrow, but still, ugh.

We had Tzepesh put to sleep last night. His illness had drastically worsened.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Victor didn't make it through the surgery. After the surgery, Victor went into cardiac arrest. They weren't able to bring him back. He was 9 months old.

From the look of his kidneys, the vet is almost certain Victor had FIP.
