Aw, bless. Thanks.

Am tipsy. Had a good night, but cleaning did not get accomplished. Hanging out and going to many cool (NON-North Beach!) bars did, though. V. fun.

ND, get to work on chainsaw killings.

KT, insent.

Okay, that wave of paperwork has a first draft done. SFX output channels are mapped out, amp channels are assigned, and speaker selection is called out.

So far I have two of four mazes assigned and I'm using 56 channels of amps and 71 speakers.

pete. is there a frag fest again this sunday?

I'm going to answer for him and say probably not, as this Sunday is the annual gothy yard sale at our house, and he will probably be helping me. Or telling me not to buy anything, because my reason for hosting the sale is to get rid of stuff, not end up with more.

Omnis, no, not this weekend, as Jilli points out, I have a yard sale to help out with.

The week after, you & ND are booked, correct?

So, if that's the case, I am shooting for either Saturday the 8th or Sunday the 9th.

There's actually the potential for me to be able to play next weekend, but the 8th and 9th are definitely not possible.

Thanks for the good thoughts and kind words, folks.

I was staying out of Buffistas because work was eating my brain, and then work sacked me for (apparently) not letting it eat my brain enough. It's a weird and wacky situation, and it makes me want to cry and throw things.

Not least because I missed each and every one of you. And you know who you are.

ETA: Fay, drop me a line if PMM can't find her copy of your old story; I'm almost sure I have it in my e-mail archive. Profile address works fine.

juliana is made of hawt!

As soon as I figure out how to use a @#$! game controller, I'm all about the fragfests. That will not happen anytime soon, though, judging by my first attempts...maybe I'll hack the XBox to hook up a keyboard/mouse.

Because really? I need to shoot something.

Erika, sorry your mom hurt her tendon. Hope you guys manage not to kill each other while she heals!

libkitty didn't mention bitches, but I hope everything is all right. My thoughts are with you.

I'm not sure where Tamara posts, but that's pretty scary so my thoughts are with you as well.

juliana is such a badass! very nice pic. For some reason Sean isn't quite like I pictured him, even though I saw the sword arthuring photo. How old is Matilda?

Speaking of Buffista babies, Susan, how old is Annabel these days?

~ma for your mother, erika.

hmm. I wonder if I did a faux-pas. To set up: 1) today is the first day of our long awaited vacation 2) we split a farm CSA share with another couple who we are pretty freindly with, and Tom works with the husband. Thursday is farm day, and Tom said that M (the husband) told him that since the big boss was out of the office that he could meet us at the farm whenever. We discussed between the 2 of us and agreed that 3pm would be fine. We're going up to Ipswich today for fried clams and ice cream and walking on the beach, and we could hit the farm easily on the way back.

L, the wife, sent an email yesterday that she has a 2:30 meeting and maybe we could meet for lunch and then go to the farm? I wrote her back explaining we had other plans and suggested the 3pm plan with M. She wrote back and it sounded kind of curt, and said that "M. works until 4 so that will give you more time in Ipswich"

OK, after all the exposition, I guess the question is: should I have invited her for lunch with us? I don't know if she is pissed or not (her email language is sort of formal), and if she is, I am not sure why.

In news that actually matters, ~ma to your mom, Erika. I hope that you guys are able to get through without too much extra trouble.
