I have a job interview tomorrow at 9. It would be really easy and fun and I liked the supervisor when I talked to her -- so please send me jobma vibes around then!
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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
Spoke with Steph this evening.
Her back muscles are sore but her leg feels MUCH better. Her foot is still numb but the Doc says not to worry and it should be better soon.
Mostly, though, she sounds wonderful. She's off the painkillers for the first time in weeks and sounds like herself again.
It was weird, hearing her so relieved choked me up.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Okay Folks. I gave up on the drive, I got 5 hours in and found myself facing 11+ more hours of driving, the funeral and 16 hours+ back and freaked.
There is a rest stop 7 miles from the south end of Iowa whereupon I freaked and could't even sleep on it, I was so wound up.
So I drove back home. I stopped at every rest stop and a couple of gas stations, and I napped in my parked car.
I'm back home. I'm going to sleep, examine my options, see if I can get a flight still and do a one day thing, or say "argh!" and make my peace without a service. My brother would understand.
Sometimes you have to look at what you are doing and have the wherewithal to say "this is a bad idea" and turn back. I realized the only thing keeping me going forward was stubbornness. Not a good enough reason.
I might even miss tha funeral, but he isn't there anyway. What he was is now gone, and I need to deal with that.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
May cheers resound! My sister Nora (who posts in Atlantic Canadians as RahRah, but hasn't ventured out yet) has just been accepted into the Bachelor of Education program at her university. Hooray!

I will be dark all weekend. I am taking a short trip to Florida.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
For all Chicago area 'istas:
NoiseDesign will be in town the weekend of April 26-27. We're looking to arrange some sort of dinner/drinks get together. Let me know if you're interested, which day works best, if you prefer aftn. or evening... that sort of thing. I'm also open to suggestions as to where this shindig (with an option on hootenanny) might take place. Profile addy is good.
On a related note, Fri. April 25, we will be attending the show I currently have running at Apple Tree Theatre. I'm probably already at my limit on comps for the night, but feel free to join us at the show.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It looks like work is moving back into a busy period, so I'm going to be going dim for a few weeks, or at least keep vampire hours. Since I'll be skimming a lot more, anyone who needs to discuss F2F plans, or Laista Buffy finale party plans, or anything else, please email me at my profile address.

Our wings are not tired
If there are any istas in the San Diego area, I'm heading down there tonight and will be there through Monday morning. I'll be looking for all sorts of reasons to get away from my family, anyone interested in meeting up for coffee/drinks/lunch/dinner/chewing on glass/watching grass grow/etc, let me know. Profile addy works.

Hi all,
I got some sleep last night.
12 hours straight.
Woke up when my sister phoned to say the funeral was starting soon. She was going to tape it for me. I wonder if I'll ever watch it. I hope she got footage of the 21-shot salute.
I'm going to plant two apple trees in my back yard in tribute to my brother, since I can't make it.
