I have twin knives in a leather harness.
Thank you guys SO much.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Going grey for the next week. Even telecommuters have to check in at the home office sometimes.

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the belated photgraphic debut of Buffistina Monkeypants Frances Lucy Burrell at one week old. (She's almost a month now.) Awww, isn't she a wee beauty?
And her rawther pretty parents doting and glowy with love for their baby child.

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
This is a big, fat, very public THANK YOU to the Somevillans (alright, some of them were from Cambridge or Wooster or some place in Rhode Island-- but fact is they're awesome) who made my birthday a very happy one. Thank you all for bringing food and yourselves and squiring me around and being gleeful and weird. I'd also like to thank Ellen for being a most gracious and tolerant hostess. ::MWAH::
Two years ago hell broke loose on my home and I was so grateful for the haven of the Buffistas who kept me informed and sane throughout. Last year, I was warmly welcomed by the Haligonians and my special day was delighful even on such a dreadful anniversary. This year the Somervillians shared their own special brand of (though not as drunken as one had been lead to expect) lurve.
It seems that, instead of going away, my B-day has become a Buffista branded event. I am truly blessed.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Back from San Diego.
Heading for Jacksonville this evening. Will be dark until Friday.
No slumbernuts were harmed in the making of this post. Any more than they deserved, anyway.

I am going more or less dark for the near future. We're finally moving into our new house on Friday, and they're cutting off our phone (and fax, and internet) access sometime Wednesday. No idea when they'll get it working again at the new place, as we currently can't find the 'phone line....
It's been a lot of hard work, but our house is beautiful, and Benno loves it there.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Could I request some nonchalance-ma for a difficult afternoon?

My grandpa died last night. He's been in the hospital since before I left for school, but... still.

Second interview went well, pretty sure they're gonna make me a job offer this week.
On the other hand, doc wants my father to get a pacemaker 'cause his heart ain't doing so good.
