Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I forgot to mention it, but this past Sunday at 4am, my cousin's wife gave birth to her baby, the much-expected Alyssa. (Much expected because my cousin was sure she'd be born the first week of September, and because labor finally got induced Saturday noon and 16 hours is plenty. And because she was named about 5 months before she was born. They framed the sonogram pictures, too!)

So now I am a cousin-aunt, and the first of my generation of kin have reproduced. I am pleased and all involved are healthy and lacking no toes.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Well, I dived in the Buffista pool, but I just haven't been able to keep up. I suppose I will be a very occasional presence on Phoenix. I really love the community you have here and wish I could keep up with it all.

If I somehow made an impression on anyone and they'd like to keep in touch, you can reach me via [link]

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'll be going dark until sometime Sunday afternoon-- family-related trip to the Catskills this weekend, but at least it's a straight shot east on the Mass. Pike, which is wide open and easy driving.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Here I go again, dark till Wednesday night, and trusting the Angel premiere and Tuesday's Buffy episode to the tender mercies of the vcr and DH's remembering to change tapes after Angel on Sunday.

Checking Beep Me and Press, and skimming like crazy in the meantime. Be well, ev'body. Don't let the bastids get you down!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Paging Jon B. or other Somervillains

I can suddenly make it to the Angel party tonight, but need directions.

Please drop me a line at victor@quantumredhead.com ASAP if you can help.

Gracias.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Dear LAistas:

This just in: We won't be able to be there for the dinner portion of the evening. So have a good dinner & we'll see y'all for Angel. (Well, cross your fingers that my bro gets home when he says he will or we won't be there for Angel either.)

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

I'll be offline for three days attending a conference out of town, and don't expect to be around much at all for the next two weeks. I gave notice at my job and will be frantically trying to tidy up loose ends before leaving.

Then I can spend my one week off catching up on a gazillion posts before starting my new job on the 28th.

It's a remora, dimwit.

I'm going to be mostly just lurking for a while, since a recent health problem has gotten extremely worrisome, and I've been both put in a brace and advised to keep the "fine tasks" to a minimum until there's a definitive diagnosis.
