I don't get along with The Orb, but with enough sunblock and parasols, I can cope. And weirdly, the heat here in L.A. is nowhere near as annoying as lower temps in Seattle. That humidity thing does make a difference.

Plus, a far more active Goth scene around here.

I just got back from spending wey too much money at Costco and Target. Most of it was the firm's, but not all, because I was buying stuff for Hawaii and then I saw Cold Kiss at Target and I had forgotten my phone, so I couldn't take a picture of it, so I had to buy it instead.

Have I mentioned I'm not very good with money?

Aw! My mom went to Target today, and there were only two left! So frigging exciting. And she even bought one! That's three for Mom and Dad, for those playing along at home. Big dummies. I have a whole box here!

And you're going to sign one and send it to me, right?

That way I can give away my copies, especially since I have an ebook copy too.

My sister has rediscovered rugby, so I stopped on it when I was channel surfing, and caught myself a haka. Always pleasant.

First five minutes of American Horror Story.

JILLI AND PETE NEED TO MOVE TO LA.

Ahem. I may have Opinions about this.

Open Lightbulbs.

I need to watch rugby!! And buy Cold Kiss.

These two things are not related.

I am, Perkins. With your very belated birthday stuff and other things.

I want all West Coast Buffistas in one place, so I can visit more easily. Because, uh, it's all about me.
