move out and draw fire

Going gray again, as I attempt to fix various details of my life that have become broken. Making-good-decisions-ma gladly accepted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Back home all safe, sound and relaxed.

Will most likely be very dark gray until Monday.

Had a great time, pictures will be posted, tales will be told (even the one about the itty bitty sharks) and a few presents will be sent.

-ma and vibes to all who need it. 'Specially congrats to Plei and mega hugs and soothings to billytea...

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Hello everybody!

Just a quick note to say that moving of Nora's stuff is complete and we are now officially cohabiting. Unless you are my landlord, in which case we are officially cohabiting as of September 1st!

Big huge thanks to DX, Ellen, Emily, Theodesia, Nutty and Jon B. for much lifting and carrying and vehicles and oh my! Everybody says "Hello", by the way.

The move went smoothly. The official doughnut of TomNoCoHab '03 is Krispy Kreme. The official pizza is Papa John's. The official truck belongs to DX.

In case you missed it the first time round, our cohabitation FAQ is at http://livinginsin.rainoftoads.com. One question has been added since the last time the link was posted.

That is all!

Didn't your mom sell you to that carnival?

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

I'm in DC now. All my stuff got here unbroken (thanks for the advice on how to pack the glass bookcases), and I'm mostly moved in. I'm having problems with my phone service, since the person who had the apartment before me didn't cancel his service, and so the phone company can't start mine, and I need to get in touch with the landlord to figure out what to do about this, so now I'm on AOL dial-up on the old tenant's phone service, which I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be doing, so I won't be online for too long. So pretty much hi, and I'll be greyish for a little while longer.

Probably going much darker grey than I have been recently, due to stuff.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Going dark for indefinite time - in airport now, heading out of country. Hope to get 'net access asap, but don't know how long it will take.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
