woot for home ownership! Happy packing~ma, make sure to take plenty of breaks :)

Here's a zombie-pocalypse music video for you corporate stiffs: [link]

Gronk. I am a the airport with Nora and Tom. Happily, our gates are adjacent so I'm not on my lonesome. As we arrived at the airport I received a text - it was meara, just going to bed. She tried to tempt me into staying up all night partying with the ladeez, but I think I made the right choice in getting a few hours of sleep.

Congratulations, Seska!

Oh, yes! Congrats to you and The Girl, Seska, and best of luck wih the packing and moving and constructing.

Safe journeys, smonster and Nora & Tom!

I wanted to tweet that we move ever closer to the medical tricorder, but I thought all of you'd get my point better.

Oh, dear. The whole flower/balloons discussion made me laugh so hard. I want to thank you all for that.

When I've had people who have to be in the hospital for a while, I always make a hospital survival kit, which includes things that I always loved having while in the hospital. The big one I did for my mom had a tiara, a boa for her IV stand (thanks to Suzi!), a trashy romance novel, a coloring book and crayons, several magazines, a felt flower, a chocolate bar, and a few other things that I can't remember.

Pix, I'm so glad people are taking good care of you too. Much continued love and ~ma to you both.

I was.away for much of yesterday, so this is reaching back a bit...

It's good to see Drew posting, even if it is only a sentence or two. You guys have had seversl people's share if sickness and i hope it stops soon.

I was meeting with a guy in jail yesterday. His kids came here at about age 5-6. He was talking about how you can't stop them/fight their Americanization but he just wants to still teach them about their native culture. He sounded so reasonable and i could tell he had thought a lot about it. It made me think about P-C's family and his parents' struggle to adjust to their american kids. This guy's kids are at risk, i think, for a bunch of stuff (graduating from high school; drugs; teenage pregnancy), but he gets that they will Americanize. It made me think that if P-C and his siblings weren't so awesome, they might have an easier time with their parents.

Life has been sort of crappy lately but we have a hot air balloon festival here this weekend. It's hard not to smile at a sky full of hot air balloons.

As of late yesterday, we own a house!

Yay, Seska and The Girl!!! Congratulations and tons of moving~ma to you.
