{{{Aims}}} Much ~ma to your mother.

Thanks so much Laga and Sean. I think that the person wanting the mags is coming from the point of view of helping local filmmakers or encouraging productions to their location, so I think they're more interested in the business of making movies than the actual crafts. I think that any magazines are more likely to be skimmed than read, so readability is not a huge factor (although, I love that you think of that, Sean). That said, I think that they're more interested in a comprehensive list, so all of these may be useful.

Thanks again, and if you think of anything else, I would welcome further suggestions.

And now, I have a wonderful excuse to read b.org at work for the next day or two. Whoot!

Health~ma to your mother and peace~ma to you.

Intermission. So it's not a poetry night, but reading short stories. Tonights theme: Food Fictions. Read by Michael Tucker, Jill Eikenberry, & Isaiah Sheffer. Very entertaing. But now I'm hungry again. I'm thinking I might need to subscribe to this lecture series.

I have way too much veggie quesadilla, omnis. Lemme see if I can fit half in this little slot on the computer and send it to you.

Many strong health vibes towards Aims' mom.

I'm one of the freaks who knows that Toyotas score so high but I've never liked their interior designs and am not partial to their ergonomics.

Oh, yeah, you and me both.

I *love* the Civic (better visibility than the Accord, wonderful to drive, and the new Leather Seat model offers the one thing I wish ours had--seat warmers). I was going to get a Fit (zippy! fun! cute!) until we drove the Civic.

DH was going to make diner, but one of his teenage guitar friends stopped by on advice for buying a new guitar - and I was working on my newbery medal class - and now I'm starving. Pass that quesadilla.

Pass that quesadilla

It's not fitting in the little slot. Hmm... lemme try the fax machine.

Thanks for all of the ~~ma, guys. So far, everything is pointing away from any type of cardiac episode, but they kept her overnight after the pain came back. My mom suspects maybe an ulcer or acid reflux because the pain came back after she drank water after a pretty long time of not having anything. And, it turns out she's been having these pains for about a week. Grrrrr.

I'm home and exhausted both emotionally and physically. Thank you guys so much for all the thoughts and vibes going out to me and my mom. It felt good knowing we had so many people in our corner.

What a relief. Ulcer over a heart attack any day.
