Dracula was into latex?
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Would it be OK to contact the operations manager to just check in and make sure everything's OK? They want him to start ASAP and we're gearing up for that aggressive timing so it would be nice to touch base to ensure that things are ticking along at least.
Honestly, Nora? I would wait until tomorrow at least. A full business day isn't that long for them to discuss something like this, and if they're not ready to respond you won't get any useful info out of the conversation anyway.

This is possibly the most awesome cover of Dracula ever:
cries and cries and cries

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sorry, Jilli. I meant to warn you.

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

I love the first one, with the dark clouds of ash and bright red lightning. The apocalypse can be pretty!

From Andrew Sullivan's blog: Face Of The Day
Portland photographer Carli Davidson has more disturbingly cute shots of "Grandpaw" the Sphynx.
I disagree - Grandpaw is nondisturbingly cute!
And come on - this picture is awesome: [link]
eta: This one is even more awesome: [link]

I must admit, THAT is the cover that should have been on that horrible Dracula "sequel" that was released last year. Then people could, for once, make an accurate judgment about the book by its cover.

Punishingly Intricate
Friends of Bob's were supposed to be flying to France yesterday for a vacation and have had to cancel. They are still taking a vacation (so as not to squander family being able to take care of their 4-year old twins for the week) so instead they are coming to the Paris of the Midatlantic--Baltimore today (then on to NJ...the um...Provence of the Midatlantic?, and to NYC). We are at least able to take them to a very, very good restaurant tonight.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not fun--glad you could be there for them! The DH was supposed to be leaving tomorrow morning for a trip to the Porsche factory in Leipzig to take a tour and drive on their track. Canceled. He is bummed, but I was a little nervous about him flying through crazy ash clouds, so I am secretly relieved.
