This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Pix, assuming you still have the same cell# you did for Pasadena F2F, yes I have it. My number is still the same (and is stashed down in my profile if you need it again).

My plan is to leave here (Westlake/Thousand Oaks) about 12:00, so hopefully 1:30 is a realistic estimate for arriving (and parking, and walking/tramming up to the entrance, etc.)at the Getty Center.

Do you want me to call/text you at some point? Or assume we're a go unless I hear otherwise? Burrell, ditto?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

If I recall (It's been too long since I've been to the Getty), parking is tight. Might make sense to meet elsewhere and carpool to the Getty.

Nope, there's a ton of parking. Huge garage with many levels.

Epic, yes, same number as the Pasadena F2F. I have to meet a group of hiking friends at 5:30 in Glendale, but I'll be able to spend a few hours. I'll just plan to arrive around 1 -- text me when you get there. We can meet at the top of the tram area.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

And I am slowly drowning in grading and house stuff. May need to go to Sears or Lowes tomorrow to buy a new washer, in which case all bets are off.

My life! I'd like for just a bit more slack.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yup, I missed getting Emmett on a flight at 7 am even though we were in the terminal an hour and a half before the flight.

Our wings are not tired.

That is bad. Usually the early morning ones are a safe bet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Chicago - May 15th till May 20th

I'll be free evenings the 15th-17th and all day on the 18th. Let me know if you are interested in seeing this. [link]

Well I've had an eventful night. I was on my way to prom (chaperoning, way less fun than Buffista prom) and got rear-ended. No real injuries and my car is drivable, but I won't be going anywhere tomorrow since I have to take the car to the dealership to leave for Monday -- I also have already taken a lot of Advil and a Flexoril to ward off the stiff back and neck I can already feel coming on. The car is going to need, ND estimates, about $5K of repairs. Sigh.

So sorry, Epic. I really wanted to see you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh my gosh, that sucks! Ugh. I'm glad you're okay, but ack. Hope the estimates come out to be less than that.

Thanks, PC.

The cost won't matter--it wasn't my fault, and I've already filed a claim with the guy's insurance company. It's just going to add days to the repair.
