Strix asked me to let everyone know that she will be grey through 8/1. She can be reached via email, but a response may be slow in coming.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

MFNlaw, thanks. I have net back, which is great.
I will not go into detail, but any private advice people have on family law and custodial and child support payment issues would be extremely welcome.
This portion of the message will likely self-destruct in a day or so.
This is going to be very stressful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Tomorrow I leave for two weeks at the cabin up in Canada. I'll probably do some posting from the road but after that I'll be mostly dark. Unless I'm at the ice cream shop which has free wifi.

If I could have some kind of -ma for a friend of mine who seems to be going through a bad patch, I'd appreciate it. He went AWOL for 24 or so hours including blowing off teaching a class at the college he teaches at, but has gotten back in touch with people.
Granted, he has had a history of depression problems and his stint at the college is just about done as he didn't make tenure (does ANYONE anymore?) so this may just have been a blowing off steam of epic proportions for him, but I'm still worried, mainly due to the history and this being VERY untypical behavior even when things aren't going so well. I think the fact his mom is going to be 80 is freaking him out in some big ways as well, especially since he knows me and another friend of ours have dealt with our share of parental loss in the last decade or so.
I've known the guy since grade school, and been a close friend of his since high school, so I am very concerned. Just another thing to make the last 12 months SUCH A FUCKING JOY!!!

I got the job! Pending the results of my background check, I will have offer letter in hand no later than Monday.
I hereby pass my luck on to Consuela, Teppy, Theo, and anyone else who needs it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If any Buffistas are or are planning on doing GISHWHES, i'm signing up this evening (which is pretty close to the deadline), and would love to be on a team with more people I know than people I don't.

I have an article accepted in the peer reviewed Review of Radical Political Economics (RRPE).
It is a critique of an 'improved' carbon trading proposal. I will post a link when it is published. Upon initial publication it will be behind a paywall, but then after a year I can put an electronic copy on-line for free access. So I will post the first link upon publication, the second once the year has passed.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
