Very speedy drive-by to announce that Evelyn Claire was delivered at 3:53 pm on Thursday, weight 8 pounds even, 21.5 inches, piano player's hands like her daddy. Nutty is in e-possession of an adorable photo and I imagine would be willing to post it somewhere accessible (right, babe?) We are home and well and tired but happy - the usual! And now for the napping...
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Photo of my niece for the delectation of all. flea may deny it, but my automatic thought is how much Evelyn looks like baby pictures of her mother. Especially with the large, alert eyes.
(1 big photo, slow load on dialup.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
This was supposed to be a picture of Buffistina. Instead it was a source of mild frustration.
Now it is gone. Like my pie.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
To echo Holli, I am a college student!
I am luckily blessed with wonderful friends, and have resolved my term bill to the point that I'm staying in school for the semester. I've moved into my dorm, gotten my books, and am now waiting to start classes on Thursday. Thanks to everyone for the advice and support ya'll gave me this summer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My grandmother passed away this morning.
It is a blessing and also very sad.
Probably be gray for a few days, maybe not... I'm sort of numb.

New, fully poseable Author!Knut.
Hello, Buffistas!
Just dropping in to let y'all know that I've got a (very) short story up at Flashquake--it's in the "Editor's Picks" section. It's called "Vagina Music," but it's not at all porny, more's the pity. I hope y'all enjoy it nonetheless.
Hope everyone is doing well!
