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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So, I'm telling my Buffistas before almost anyone else, because you all are the family of my heart:
Someone is going to have to suit up as Batman and marry me, because Tim proposed tonight.
(I said yes.)
(It was the only way I get to keep the ring. It's so shiny!!!)

This is going in Beep Me b/c I am too tired for Natter. I made it to Dublin! Anyone following my travel saga will not be surprised that when I arrived at Heathrow there was no booking for me on the flight. Fortunately, the nice BA man sorted it out for me and I am here!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have a new piece up at Hilobrow as part of my (renewed) series on Early Sixties Horror.
This time I wrote about The Innocents (1961) starring Deborah Kerr. It's still the definitive adaptation of Turn of the Screw.
Please check it out and give it an FB like if you're inclined.

Favor to ask. My friends' bar is two years old today. They are giving away a trip to Vegas for the picture from the anniversary that gets the most FB likes. It's a public pic on my sister's page. Can those of y'all who Facebook help a sister out?

Happy news!
Nilly gave birth to her baby girl this morning (it's afternoon now in Israel). All are well, and very happy. That's all I have for now.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Request for Emergency ~ma. My BFF's husband just got rushed into surgery for a brain bleed. It was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago, and the Drs were convinced it would just reabsorb on its own, but he's been having worse and worse pain, so I guess they've decided to take action. Please send safe surgery~ma for B, and calm and strength to K while she waits.
