Do NOT read the Harry Potter article in The Onion if you wish to remain spoiler pure.
(If this isn't apocalyptic, I don't know what is.)
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
(Actually, it's a joke. The article contains no actual spoilers.)

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Any Buffista prayers, kind thoughts, or wishes for a good time in the Summerland and a better Turn of the Wheel next time would be welcome today: a friend of DH's and mine, Trevor, was found dead on Monday from an overdose of antidepressants.
Not at my most coherent today; sorry.

My DH didn't get to the second round of interviews. Here's to better luck with the jobma next time. EDIT: And thanks for what you sent. It was his best news in a year or so, and I think you guys helped.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Here is the culmination of all the stress-producing crap I've been dealing with for the past week: Next week, after 4th of July (also my parents' and my sister's anniversaries) and my big family shower, my mother is going to be moved into a nursing home. It's been a tough decision to reach and it's all pretty overwhelming.

Er...Hi! I'm back from South Korea!
However, I'm (as to be expected after ten days) thousands upon thousands of messages behind. And I'm not sure when I'll catch up (or, more likely, skip ahead). But I'll be out there, lurkishly, somehow, somewhere, for the next while...

I'll be dark from tomorrow morning through the end of next week as DH and I go on our great Oregon and California road trip, featuring several national parks, family, and foamy Buffistas.

Going pretty much all dark until Monday. Flying up to San Jose this afternoon, to attend the wedding of one of my sisters on Saturday.
I miss you all, and tremble in fear at the very large number of messages that will await me when I return.
Unfortunately, I will have no time to visit Bayistas, as my schedule is very full up with events. Next time I head up there though, I think it will be all Bayista time.

Going dark-ish in about an hour until Sunday night. Off to the family annual in Maine. We're having it on Peak's Island this, year so I get a little island time.
I may have access to a computer where I'm staying, but I'm not counting on it. Happy 4th, all!

I'll be fading to deeper grey this weekend, too, as I trundle down to Selma, CA to visit a friend. Computer access is probable, but my ability to access b.org may vary wildly depending on how conversations and whatnot go.
The personal landmark on the Selma trip is that I'm actually going to be sharing the driving. First time ever. I am still merely a permit-holder, but I'm actually looking forward to the freeway time.
