Landlord~ma, Laga.

Until this very morning, Lou was fine. I'd take him to the vet in person, but it's after 10pm now. We'll wait to the morning.

It kills me that there isn't anything I can do for him right now.

I'm also not in the mood to think of burial arrangements (here, it's a hell lot more complicated. There are about 3 cemeteries for pets in the entire country, and you need a special permit to bury an animal.) Last round, I was up for it. Not this time.

Holy crap. Every year at the regional medical writers conference here, they do a musical comedy skit. A couple years ago, I offered to write one and put it on, and it was very well received. Last year, someone else was responsible, and I was just in it.

I was just asked to direct the skit this year. The conference is next week, and they have a few scripts for me to choose from (that I am free to modify or improve as I wish). I can't believe I have reached a point in my life where people ask me to do awesome things I want to do anyway.

Oh P-C, that's very cool!

Shir, it's not easy. I am so sorry that you're going through this.

Oh Shir I'm so sorry for you and Lou.

Yeah, it's tooting my own horn, but I'll take the few bright spots I can get, lately:

Sean Kozma's eerie sound design adds a beautifully sinister atmosphere to the goings-on. (LA Weekly)

Congratulations, Sean! That's great.

Also congrats to you P-C. Who knew that medical writing would the right career path to theatrical production?

Sean, woo hoo! Those are great reviews.

Peeps! Keep tooting horns! I love these stories! And Sean, what's taking you to Italy?

They're not tooting your own horn, it's developing your portfolio.
