Yay on your mom coming home, Hil. Going home early to help prep for the holidays sounds like a great way to help her out, IMHO. If she's anything like my mom, she'll be a lot more willing to accept help or do less when you're right there in the kitchen doing the work, or if you show up with some of the food ready to go.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
what is orange juice and whisky?
A big glass of Nast.
Good news on your Mom, Hil. I hope her recovery goes quickly.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I have achieved haircut! And although I don't love it as much as my last haircut, it's still v. nice.
Also, I have been cast as The Ghost Of Christmas Present and as Mrs Fezziwig, whoever the hell she is, in A Christmas Carol.
Should be fun!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Go Fay! Apparantly Mrs. Fezziwig is married to Mr Fezziwig. (who'da thunk it?) Fezziwig fezziwig fezziwig... the word has lost all meaning.

Yay! Didn't you go back to the same stylist?
Yay also on the casting. I love hearing about your plays and productions.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Yay Fay! Mrs. Fezziwig is the wife of Scrooge's employer ... the one he's first apprenticed to. Her only real scene is at a Christmas party - she dances and laughs and is lots of fun.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yay on the casting!
And I'm now earwormed with "Mr. Fezziwig's Annual Christmas Ball" from the musical version. Although I can't remember any of the words beyond the "Mr. Fezziwig's annual Christmas ball! Rat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat" part.

Compassionately intolerant
give me some distance from my family's, uh, jackhole legacy.
That was my reason for changing my first name, but I've never even considered changing my last name...which is weird, I suppose. The asking for friends to experiment with calling me Bonny is going better than I expected. Also, when they do, I no longer seem to get that gripping awful feeling in my stomach that I did for the first 20 years of my life. Progress!
David, I've gotten at least 10 "I LOVE It's!" over the hair in the last two days...but even more excellent responses from the 'blinvisible advisor' story. Such fun.
Much ongoing ~ma for your Ma, Hil.
And break a leg Fay. That should be fun!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The original creators aren't working for Disney any more.
