I've got a new piece up at Hilobrow on the French film director, Georges Franju.
As ever, Mr. Phelps, if you find it to your liking, I would appreciate any Likes or Retweets.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

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
Health~ma please. My dad is in the ER with a possible heart attack and severe GI distress. We're waiting on bloodwork now and he's headed for a CT scan in an hour.

Thank you everyone for the ~ma. My father is at home, resting. No heart attack, but a really severe case of GI distress. CT scan was clear and there were no signs of infection. No surgical intervention was necessary, but 2 doses of dilaudid were. I would really not like to go through this again for a while. I'm so lucky to have you all in my life.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
A little fuzzy still but I can see on the computer with not too bad a zoom. Read the newspaper though not the comics. Eyepatch off and pain gone. Think I'm safe to drive again.

Laistas! Shir is coming to town in a couple of weeks. She will be crashing at our place in Pasadena, and we'd like to host a cookout (veggie and meat options) on Saturday, 5/10, starting around 6pm. If you're interested, please pop over to F2F and we can talk details. I'll also put together an evite with directions and such--if you could send me an email with your contact info (email and cell), that would be very helpful.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
As of this afternoon, I have completed all of the requirements for my program, so you may all now refer to me as Dr. Esse. Or, you know, continue to call me Debet, whichever.
Not sure yet where I'll be landing once I pass my certification exam.

SoCal Buffistas: I will be in San Diego for work Sunday, June 1st through Thursday, June 5th. I can come in on Saturday if it means I can see some of you. I have to book the ticket in the next day or so. Discussion in F2F.

Ohio Buffistas: I suspect none of you live near Kent, but if you do, I will be at Kent State for a journalism fellowship for two weeks, and I have the weekend of July 12-13 free if there's any chance you want to get together.
