Going gray since I'm going to the nation's capital for 2 days. I will try to visit Lush and think about Buffistas.

Going grey for a week or so. Having some minor surgery, very routine. I'll be recovering at my parents' house. I'll be online but I don't know how often.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm going to be dark for most of the next week, first for a trip to Vegas, then for a trip to Tucson, to see the 'rents.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I will be dark all next week due to general insanity at work and being out of town. From Wednesday through Sunday I'll be busy crewing for the Tour de Friends, an AIDS ride from NC to DC. I already linked this once, but I had just delurked so probably nobody cared. In case you care now...

Check out my personal donation page with just a touch of Buffy

I'm not asking for donations, though I wouldn't kick your credit card out of bed. (and BTW, thank you Ellen S.!)

Anyway, see y'all in a week or so.

If anyone can spare jobma vibes for my DH, Bob, please do so. A friend of a friend has a very good position open in a company he is qualified for and could actually commute to and still have a life. The FoaF connection will help, I know, but that only goes so far. He's been unemployed now for a year and a day, and there's only so much farther the reserves are going to stretch. If he could get this before they run out, we'd be more than relieved.

I'm getting the pig!

Early this morning, on Father's Day, my sister called to let me know that her husband had passed away at home after a severe heart attack. He was 35 years old. They have two young children, Taylor is 4 and Nicholas just turned 2.

I may be dark while figuring out how to get to Mississippi for the funeral since all of my spare funds were just handed over to a realtor yesterday as an Earnest Fee on my possible new house. You never seem to get the good without the bad, in my family.

Prayers for my sister and her children would be much appreciated. House-ma would be secondary but appreciated also.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The Grapevine Bar (Where Mr. Heather manages & bartends) was in the June issue of Out magazine! It was their "Hot Issue: 79 People, places, and things that turn us on right this minute."

Hottest Jukebox Grapevine, Dallas

At a bar where nothing matches (not the decor, glassware, or people) the jukebox, boasting Donna Summer, Jimmy Buffett, and Judy Garland is no exception.

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

Vibe me this evening, please, as I have a test. The first one since PhD prelims, and those were a rutting disaster... anyway, this whole being back in school thing is starting to feel an awful lot like being back in school.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Just to let everyone know, Vortex is safely out of surgery and into recovery. According to the update, she's doing fine; whether she survives a week or two of care at the ancestral home is a whole 'nother matter.

More updates (I bet meara has some, as well) as they become available. I'll be calling tomorrow to check in on Our Ms. V.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Second interview scheduled for Thursday at 3 PDT. Jobma please - the first dose was potent.
