In the continuing crapfest that is 2012, could I get some fuck cancer~ma for my cousin's wife? She just started chemo for breast cancer, and it's not treating her well. I have no idea what stage it is or the prognosis, but I am heartened that she has access to wonderful care in that socialist bastion known as France.
They didn't tell anyone for a while, and finally broke the news to us across the pond last week. My father just told me tonight--he didn't want to upset me. He now knows not to do that again.

Can I get some ~ma for one of my best friends? In two minutes, she is going before the Senate Committee for her judicial confirmation. She is one of the best people I know, and no one deserves it more.

Calling all Chicagoista Theatre types: Do any of you know someone named Nich Radcliffe, he's an Actor, Director, Designer ? my profile addy is good.
When I got home last night I found that my cat, Tanuki, had taken a turn for the worst . I got a ride to the emergency vet but she died before we got there. (Emergency vet is in Aurora.).
She had just turned 20 last week. I miss her dreadfully.

New England-istas: I am in CT visiting my parents this week. I was toying with the idea of traveling north one evening to meet up with those of you who are free for dinner. I can't go all the way to Boston, but I could do Worcester...? Or something within an hour or so? Let me know in F2F.
