And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just scored a couple of Torchwood audiobooks of my office free table - first person to send me an email with their address gets 'em!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

On the current installment of The Eclectic Word, author, critic and essayist Roz Kaveney and I discuss her latest book, "Superheroes," and her other works.

You should really go listen.

Yes, finally. A new lesson at Gothic Charm School!

I just got another NetFlix offer to double the trial period from 2 to 4 weeks. If you don't have it already and would like to try it out, let me know and I'll send you an invite. In the interest of full disclosure, if anyone takes advantage of this, I'll also get a bonus rental. My profile addy is good.

not your mom's socks.

risking over-doing it in press, but I wanted to let everyone know that our very own Stephanie is posting about flying with two (and more, soon) over at Travels With Child ( [link] ). We are loving all the buffista parents swinging by to offer posting ideas & guest post! - though that isn't news. loved 'em already.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

I am proud to announce that I am an Uncle! Maybe it doesn't look like much from the text but imagine I'm saying it with jumping and arm-wavetude and shooting off a duel flare guns. He was born yesterday morning, is healthy as an ox and is the first addition to the immediate and extended family in 25 years. Wootah.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

The second issue of Membra Disjecta is up! We have flash fiction from Typo Boy and Miracleman, an ass-kicking story from Erika, and a sad one from Deb. There's also a lot of other fiction, as well as some poetry and art. I hope you'll come take a look.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I seem to recall there are other Buffistas interested in genealogy. Ancestry.com is offering for free the Lite version of their 2008 Family Tree Maker, for a limited time.

I'm not sure I like it as well as my 2001 vintage FTM v9.0, or even PAF, but it's free, so I'm trying it out for a while. [link]

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Just a reminder, the F2F is fast approaching and money is barely trickling in. The cost of prom and the hospitality suite comes to $1500 thereabouts (taxes, all sorts of wierd numbers, yeah?) I've gotten a grand total of $140.00 (minus PayPal fees) in donations so far. For those who feel compelled to facilitate our debauchery fun and games, I am accepting donations through PayPal. Send your last penny two cents worth to: dinky40 at charter dot net. Thanks, all!

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

Okay, JenP got in there before I made the announcement, and I used Fay and Bon to test, but if you look on your set profile page you'll see a "Location" has been added. If you fill that out to your degree of confidence (it will take street level addresses in the US, as well as just country names) we can populate a very Buffista map. Have at it.
