Coilhouse, one of my favorite blogs, has a print magazine now. Check out this ultra-hot picture of Margaret Cho on the inside cover of issue #2: Coilhouse Issue 02 is About to Rock Your Soulmeat
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You should TOTALLY locate to LA.
Honestly, I could deal with LA. But, I like my job (for once,) city and unless JPL or someone could accomodate equiv salary and housebuying capacity and hire me to manage an archive (which is painful at the moment,) and keep the ground stable, I can't imagine it.
eta: it's really weird. I LOVE the west. It is home. Visiting LA and JTree was just like home. But every time I really think more than a minute about moving back west, there's this gut NO that responds. It's almost as if being an outsider (as I feel anywhere but there) is necessary somehow.

The status is NOT quo.
Pasadena is near JPL and has some pretty awesome neighborhoods. And the real estate market's never been better for a buyer.
What. Just saying.

Ahh, but can it be a 3 bdrm for under $200K? (OK, some of those are in borderline hoods.) Baltimore City is one of the few places where prices haven't overall sunk in the past mmph months. Because they were playing catchup to the bubble and hadn't caught up, being a really depressed market.
Minor detail, considering the gut.

I'm just saying, sarameg, we'd love to have you out here. N and G would be in snuggling-with-sara-heaven!
