My future father-in-law passed away on Wednesday. I will be dark for a good long while. In many senses. I know I am only on the fringes of the community here, but I have this compulsion to tell everyone I possibly can.
Here is his obituary.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Going dark for a few days - paid work so it's all good. Not a lot, by my landlord will appreciate it.
And -t I'm so sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Finally...a bit of good news.
My grandfather who was very very ill most of last year with multiple myloma and pneumonia had a new bone scan on Friday. They got the results today and there are no new spots!! He is clear to head north for the summer!! Woohoo!!

I'm back from California! Until I head back at the end of the month (woohoo!).
Meanwhile, I'm about 2000 messages behind in each and every thread. So, uh, see y'all eventually (read: as soon as I run out of energy and just skip).

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I have a job interview today at 3pm. Good vibes appreciated.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
School's out for me. First, Dublin, Ireland for one week, visting Becky's folks, and possibly some of mine. We're flying out this evening. We'll try to post something from Eire. Email addy just fine, if infrequently checked. Second, road trip to F2F begins in Chicago on the 14th... All be well.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Going an uncertain shade of grey for a few weeks due to Big Work Stuff. Love y'all.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Dark dark grey from tomorrow until at least Saturday, if not Monday. I'll be at a conference. Profile addy good, don't know how much I'll be able to check it, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Job interview at 2. Vibe me with jobma at 2ish, and with keep-breathing-ma right up until then.

It looks like my jitters were warranted. I just got laid off. After next Friday, I'll be unemployed.
