Yay, Dana! I'm glad I got that trip to Houston in before you left.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats you guys!
One buffista moves into Texas, another one has to move out. I swear!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I missed Dana's news (will go check Beep Me for it there), but I am VERY EXCITED about bon bon and bob bob's news! Yay for more SoCal buffistas, and yay for getting a tenure track job in the humanities.
Which is also a good segue for me and my ambition, or lack thereof. NON-tenure track. That says it all. I definitely lack ambition as far as career goes, and anyone who has seen my house knows I lack it in the housekeeping department as well. I mean, take right now for example: sitting watching Yo Gabba Gabba with the kids and reading b.org after a morning of playing in the park.

Oh wow Dana, congratulations to you and the DH! Sounds like the stars are well-aligned for your move.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Congrats, Dana! That's awesome.
Thanks you guys for the congrats; Bob Bob says "thanks everyone." We got very lucky to go the one place we were most happy to move to.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
bon bon! Ask Bob Bob's opinon on Simon Critchley.
When will you be in SoCal? I'll be down there over Labor Day weekend doing the reading and bus tour.

I asked him, but I need a stompy to send him or me his password, so he doesn't have to respond from my account.
I think we might miss your next visit to the area. He'll be there in mid-August, but I will still have a place here until 9/30 and may not move out there until closer to then.

The west coast is totally where it's at, yo. Says this former East Coast buffista.
Not that I don't love and give props to the East Coast.
I'm just lovin' on the PNW right now.
And we're totally going to have to lure Dana to Seattle for some fun once she moves!!! Whoot!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats to Dana and her DH and bon bon and bob bob!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I reset his password, bon.
Man, today, is the busy dizzymaking. This weekend is a big deadline, but stuff isn't expected to quiet down much after it, if that makes useful sense. So I'm going to be working straight through the weekend when I normally don't leave home weekends.
My lack of ambition is laughing at me right now. Though people both up and downstream of me are in similar places--it's the stream that's the problem, not my position in it. One of my co-workers was here through 1:30am this morning catching up on email and says he got up to Friday night. To get his attention with an email you have to both call and walk over. Sometimes with a handwritten note.
