Thank you for your good Karma vibes, lovely people. WeeSisterJay returns to the loving bosom of her family tomorrow afternoon, hopefully SARS-free. She's gutted to be a rat leaving a sinking ship and will miss Beijing dreadfully, but we are all bloody relieved to have her in (comparative) safety once more. She can always go back later.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Another social casualty...
My DH has submitted a resume to a company in Florida. If he gets it, we can return to the Land of No Snow, near-by family, and (hopefully) less job suckage. Any spare jobma and anti-stress vibes are appreciated.

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I will be going mostly dark until sometime Monday, since my mom is visiting. Although we normally get along, I am stressy and PMS, so don't-kill-each-otherma would be appreciated.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I finally made a grad school decision: George Washington.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Been very busy. I hate popping in here, but... We lost someone else today. A friend of ours, and a regular of Mr. Heather's killed himself.
Going up there now to see what we can do.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hi everyone. I'm grey today.
Some idiot severed the cable company fiber optic line in town and now all CATV is out and my nice fast cable modem is blinking forlornly at me.
Borrowing a friend's account to post this.
It has been several hours, and Fiber Optics take a helluva long time to repair.
Sigh.
Edit: Never mind. They finally fixed it!

New, fully poseable Author!Knut.
Going dark for a couple of days as I move to Chicago. Wish me move-ma and smooth cable modem hookups at the other end.
ETA that I am still reachable at my profile address, but note that this has changed, and since my current service seems to be frelled I may not receive any emails sent in the past day or two.
See you all soon.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Today I quit my job. I'll be working for another month because there's a conference they want to present this stuff to, but then I'll be free!
Well, free to look for another job anyway. If anyone knows what sort of jobs a person with a MSc in Mathematics (number theory) can do and wants to tell me about it, profile addy is good. Note that everyone and their dog says "Oh you could do lots of things ... like teach!" and then can't think of anything else. I'd appreciate any pointers (also any general job-hunt pointers).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm going to be grey this weekend as I'm attending Malice Domestic, a mystery convention.
