New piece up at Hilobrow about Alex Chilton:
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Because books.
We were evicted on Friday. We're staying with my parents until tomorrow, but they can't keep us after that. We need to get our things from the apartment, too, which means renting a van and finding somewhere to put it. The plan after that is probably to return to Fulton, or for Sara and I possibly to stay with my brother in Virginia for a few months. Not sure yet.
Any help or good thoughts or prayers are appreciated. If anyone can contribute to the moving fund, my PayPal is amygarveywrites@gmail.com. I know I've been the recipient of help from this community more often than I deserve, and I know it's wrong to ask again, but I'm really terrified right now.
Like I said, good thoughts and prayers very much appreciated, as well.

This is a wild shot in the dark, but did anyone get a new FitBit or similar and have an older, working one languishing in a drawer somewhere?
My phone tracks steps, but since I don't carry my phone all around the house and yard and such, I KNOW I'm walking more than it says. owltlet@gmail.com is good if you maybe have an option for me -- I don't need or want anything fancy or pricey! Because I'm spending every cent on bills, house repairs and car repairs.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I said this in a few other spaces, but feel free to let people know who haven't been on the boards in a while that I can reset their passwords if they would like to come back. I can also change their email addresses if the one they were using when they were here is no longer current, before resetting the password. They can email me at fatoudust@dendryte.com or if they're not comfortable with getting me directly, the admins address will work fine too.

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

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
Feels a bit like the apocalypse came.

Some good news - I got married in June. Two hours later there was a stay on the court decision that allowed it, and they tried to tell us we weren't married anymore. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals laid that bs to rest (if you haven't read excepts, it's terribly entertaining).
