Requesting some of the much patented ~ma- I'm performing in a dancing showcase tonight, my first time in costume (a borrowed one but still) and doing one of my competition routines.

~ma so that I don't blow it completely would be much appreciated.

As the Natterers know, we were able to confirm a sighting of my lost dog last night. This is the first confirmation that she's alive we've had since the night she was lost in April, and we're trying to make the most of it. Your tweets, facebook posts and other social media were a great help to us in generating a lot of interest in her story. I did three television interviews, and the Washington Post ran a column. So, I'm asking for your help again. Please post a link to our blog so we can get people to help us get the word out in the area and we can find volunteers to help us get posters up. [link]

Hey all, Lewis has started a new review site that's unusual, to say the least. He's taken on reviewing aps of questionable origin, as it were from the Mac App Store. The site is called It Came From the App Store and it's gone live (with its one whole review... woooo!). Please go check it out: [link]

I would like some health-ma for my brother, please. I am afraid, since he complains so much lately, that I have not taken his muscle aches and skin rash very seriously, although I think that is still better than my dad, the hypochondriac, looking at shit that's been on House episodes and telling him he has them. I hope it's not a big deal and that something can happen so his mood improves, also. I hope my dad can someday begin to make peace with the idea that he will die so he can be less creepy when people are sick or hurt.

Bay Area Buffistas!

Gary and I will be in the San Francisco area in August. We'll be available the 14th to the 16th. We'd like to meet up with folks, so let's discuss this in F2F.

Some HR~ma this morning would be greatly appreciated. I know it's ridiculous to be so impatient at this point, but I so want this job search to be over so I can get back to the important things that I've been avoiding these last two months, like Buffistas, blogging, etc. Oh, yeah, getting out of crazy, dysfunctional management town would be good too.

K-Bug and I would appreciate some car~ma. We are in a tiny Wyoming town awaiting word from the mechanic. We would love to be able to sleep in our own beds tonight (they are a good 7 hour drive from here). Easy and inexpensive repair~ma would be fantastic.

Buffista ~ma is a powerful thing. New thermostat and $130 later and we are back on the road.

Going dark gray for a trip to the wilds of Door County. Y'all have a safe and fun holiday weekend if you're Canuck or Murican. The rest of you, try not to blow up the world while we're off binging, 'kay?
