I am frequently stupid and wasn't sure if it was my imagination but now I have threadsucked and confirmed that I am not entirely crazy (Yay!) so: has anyone heard from tommyrot in the past couple of weeks? Or is he on vacation and I missed that? Because usually he posts links to the the stuff I would post except he did it first, and lately he hasn't, and it's weird.

OK, last suggestions - Enkidu, the wild heroes companion. Picaro. (Many of the earliest novels were Picaro tales about entertaining rogues. ) And if I those don't work, I'm out of suggestions (other than herekitty).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Huh. You're right, Strega, I haven't seen him lately. Hope all is well in the land of tommyrot.

What are people doing this weekend?

You guys. You guys! I'm totally going on vacation! Because...wait for it...I finished my grant app! And! I also did laundry and dishes. I am feeling wildly accomplished.

I know I didn't have to have it done this week. But I got it done, and now I can go on vacation completely clear and caught up. And furthermore, the work that I had to do for the app catches me up on all my normal grind stuff, so I'm back current with all of that, too, like whoa.

So! Off to Flagstaff and free timeshare! Actually, it'll probably be pay timeshare, because they always try to sell us stuff even though we're ridiculously below their income thresholds. But they give us free stuff for our time, so bonus!

The SO is totally like that about the spontaneity thing. I was asking him what he wanted to do on our vacation (admittedly the middle of it is eaten up by the video shoot and concert stuff) but he equivocated. I think he wants to lie very still on the bed for the whole time.

Anyway, it'll be fun regardless. And we need the break. The summer was good, but not restful.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Enjoy Flagstaff! It's a gorgeous little town. Is it still even little?

There was a great bookstore/music store there when I occasionally haunted the area.

I remember picking up some book in French there and painfully trying to translate it while we drove down to Sedona. My French was seriously awful even at the time.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Tommy's in Chicago, yeah? I hope he wasn't flooded out.

I'm up at the asscrack of dawn to watch my twin sister run a 10K.

x-post with Bitches from last night:

Owen got to play with the streetfair band yesterday afternoon.

Strega, you're right -- I haven't been paying much attention this week because of Life Stuff Happening, but I totally should have noticed. ::worries::

I am frequently stupid and wasn't sure if it was my imagination but now I have threadsucked and confirmed that I am not entirely crazy (Yay!) so: has anyone heard from tommyrot in the past couple of weeks?

I was wondering the other day - no, I don't think so.

He won't have been flooded out where he lives.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh dear-- now I am worried. Perhaps his electricity is out?

I don't remember him mentioning vacation.

On a less scary note-- I am pretty sure it is Sue's Birthday today!

Happy Birthday Sue!

Just did a quick threadsuck, and I can't find any tommyrot posts past 9/3!!!!1!????

Perhaps he has just unsubscribed to Natter -- can anyone else find him posting on other threads?
