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.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"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.

More on the nice karma front:
I have been selected to serve for 3 years on the California Young Readers Medal Committee, which is the committee which selects books for the award. Very excited.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Please send a little healthma my dad's way. He was diagnosed with cancer in 1996 and went into remission in late 1997. Unfortunately, now the doctors think he might be coming out of it. He starts doing tests next week. The major ones don't start until May 15th. It could be nothing or he could need to start treatment again. We should know within the next few weeks. In the meantime all vibes greatly appreciated.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, I'm dark for a bit. And it's not because of my fetching haircut (oh yeah, it's bitchin'). I finished law school! They're actually giving me a juris doctor tomorrow! (And my parents are in town and then I'm going back home for my grad party.) Stay warm, be good, see y'all at the F2F.
