Huh, i always considered Lucretia to be more of a goth anthem, while This Corrosion lends more credence to Andrew's constant "i'm not goth, i'm a rocker!" angst.

In honor of the day "with the fire from the fireworks up above, with a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside, you run for cover in the temple of love" and lets all hope it doesn't fall tonight! (or be over in the morning ;P

I know you're asking if the musician known as Meat Loaf could be considered goth, but for a moment I just sat thinking about the food.

Mmmmmmmeatloaf.

Mmmmmmmeatloaf.

Now I want a sandwich. Thanks, SH. Thanks a lot!

I'm aboard the Norwegian Star for the next two weeks and will be in Alaska. I think Kristin posted something about this. Libkitty, is it you that is on our route? I think it was Juneau if my memory is correct. I will be in Juneau on Tuesday. Ship arrives at 7 AM and leaves at 1:30 PM. If we can get together that would be great, let me know at my profile addy.

So I went to a Fourth of July party at a friend's house, and when I arrived, I saw a woman in all black with a black parasol. "Hm," I thought to myself, "perhaps a Goth! I shall tell her about Jilli's book."

Except she had actually been at the Burlingame signing! She was the one with the little babybat in the Babybat shirt. The babybat was in attendance as well, and he was adorable.

Also present was...Karl Thiessen! Whom I had met briefly at the SF2F but had not seen since.

That's me, ND. Insent my contact info. I'm so tickled. Buffistas in Juneau!

Hey, Bay Area Buffistas. I will be in Oakland tomorrow and Wednesday for work so if anyone is interested in perhaps having dinner on Tuesday night, please let me know. Unless you hang out in the Reality TV thread, I probably never talk to you around these parts anymore, but I certainly would enjoy seeing folks if it works out. Feel free to shoot me an email to my profile address. I'm staying near the Oakland Convention Center, though I have no idea where that is having been to Oakland maybe once before in my entire life, but I'm happy to come in to SF if that is more convenient.

Aw, man! Tuesday is the first Little League All-Stars tournament game, or at least one if not all of Zmayhem would be there in a flash.

Hm. The Oakland Convention Center is not far from where my husband works. That might work out conveniently.

OTOH, my cough that alarmed Hec at Jilli's reading has gotten, if anything, worse and I'd hate to be spreading it to anyone else.

But OTOOH, a chance to meet kat perez!

Too many hands.

I'm happy to brave a few germs to meet with Buffistas, but I also understand not wanting to a) spread germs or b) meet people when one is feeling germ-y. And you can never have too many hands, I don't think.

And wicked baseball depriving me of Zmayhem time. I knew there was a good reason why I dislike that game. Well, except for the Angels rally monkey. I do enjoy that monkey.
