Mal ,'The Train Job'
Having a party? Organizing a local F2F? Know something that we all really need to know? Announce it! Want to discuss anything posted here? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
So, Emmy nominations were announced this morning.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Chosen" and Firefly "Serenity" both received nominations for "Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series". Those were the only ME nominations I saw, though I did move through them quickly.
David Greenwalt's Miracles received a nomination for "Outstanding Main Title Theme Music".
Full list is here.
Anyone want me to put them in touch with the person who's hiring a full time blood drive coordinator (for the local blood bank)? Starting salary $36-40K, BA nice but not required if sales/non profit experience. The job is in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. E me if so.
What a great way to start the day! Thank you so much for the Amazon.com gift certificate! I am really touched that you would do that for me. I admit I don’t post all that much (mostly because I’m in awe of everyone’s wit and way with words), but I lurk here a lot. And I’ve always felt like a Buffista. This is the first place I go after logging on every morning. You guys are the best and this really means so much to me! Thank you!
This is ridiculously short notice -- but it appears I will be at liberty tonight to visit with any Chicago area Buffistas who are around. I'm going to run get a late lunch right now, but I can check my email (at the address on my account here) starting in an hour or so....
I am right on various train/subway/El lines here in Evanston, so getting to Chicago or elsewhere should be not so impossible.
Hello. As some of you may be aware, I've been organising a character quote deathmatch in The Quotable Buffy thread. The rules can be found here. I've collected quotes for most of the major characters, and we'll be playing to see which quote seems to best sum up or represent the character.
For those who have not yet completed Season 7, I will note if any of the character quotes are spoilery. Reasons why character quotes may not be spoilery may include, but are not limited to - the character did not appear in season 7; the character appeared, but did not say anything memorable in season 7; the character appeared, was very memorable, but nothing intelligible could be heard from around the ball gag; I'm mad with power - MAD, I TELL YOU!
I'll be posting the begining of each match here, so that people can participate fully and freely. We'll be getting started Monday evening (er, evening my time, noonish board time).
Just a reminder that Foamy Nominations will close exactly ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!
Nominate early, and nominate often!
Attention Expectant Buffistas!
Do any of you glowing moms-to-be want an electric breast pump?
I have a 3-year-old Purely Yours pump that I want to give to someone who needs one. I used it for about six months; then I started working from home and did not need to pump so often.
The FDA has said that breast pumps are personal medical devices and should not be swapped -- however, the Purely Yours has a closed mechanism (unlike the Medela Pump In Style, where milk CAN get into the pump mechanism).
I can also send two sets of bottles/tubing; adapters for Avent bottles, and flexishield inserts, all of which can be boiled for sterilization. You can buy more parts online pretty easily. Also comes with free been-there-done-that nursing mom help if you want. :-)
Breast-pumping isn't fun but (like breastfeeding in general) it is really worthwhile. I did a lot of obsessive research before I chose this pump, and it was easy to use. It has a nice, unobtrusive black carrying case (not one with little teddy bears all over it, in other words), and the case has a cooler compartment, too. The Purely Yours will also run on regular batteries, which means you don't need a hugely expensive power converter.
Profile addy good. First cranky, swollen-ankled, nervous and overly planny mom-to-be to ask for it gets it.
The first death match has started.
