The glorious love and gracious generosity of the Buffistas cannot be described in word. The "holy fuck!" I said when I opened Anne's letter and saw the enclosure is only the barest summary. I do not like thinking about what condition I would be in now if not for this place. I hope that in the months and years to come I'm able to thank some of you in person.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am happy to announce that I have sold my first short story to the Genius Loci anthology! I have some incredible ToCmates. Thank you to everyone for supporting me over the years: guess I might have a future in this writing thing after all.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So, a bunch of us (me, debetesse, SuziQ, and FayJay) are on a GISHWHES team, and one of the items is for someone in Seattle to go to a Guinness record-breaking event, dressed as a French maid. Anyone game? More info: [link]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Note on Hil's post: if you do the thing, I will knit you something of your choice. Our team is not above bribery.

Another GISHWHES item is to make a Twitter account pretending to be Orlando Jones and get at least 400 followers. Anyone who wants to help, we're @Or1andoJones.

If anyone knows someone who controls the Twitter account of any federal agency (of any country), and thinks they'd be willing to tweet something for GISHWHES, please let me know.

Health~ma for my mum, please. She got through her knee revision surgery fine, but she seems to have gotten some kind of infection post-op. I didn't get a lot of information because part of the problem is that she's having a hard time speaking. She's all raspy and says swallowing is like swallowing razor blades and even drinking is painful, let alone eating.
