Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Our wings are not tired.

P-C wow. Would I have known him?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

From what I remember of his CV, I don't think he worked at your company, but let me e-mail you.

Ooh, Jesse, that kind of thing is what scares me (and makes me want universal healthcare!!)

I'm a little peeved--it's prime leaf-peeping time, and we have a dismal forecast for the next week and a half. Want sun!

...but we don't really have much in the way of leaves to peep anyway, since we dont' get the right weather for them to be pretty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh, reality just hit me again, and I just ripped the finish off my batsignal belt. And my head hurts, and and and...

Because books.

I just spent the entire day running here, there, and everywhere, getting ready for this trip, and I totally skipped to the end to say:

Buffistas are a rare, very special breed of people, and I'm really grateful they've taken me in.

Now I have to go lie down and then catch up and then finish packing.

Ugh, reality just hit me again

Hang in there, lady.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm so sorry, ita. Try to breathe slow and even. Batbelt can be refinished, even better, maybe. Sending head-ease-ma.

meara, we're planning to drive up to New Halem and Twisp--pretty leaves up there.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

More ~ma for ita and her mom.

Speaking of disease epidemics, Seanan McGuire has written and recorded a Schoolhouse Rock style song about the Black Death(and her take on what caused it). It's called "The Black Death".

It is a great song. The CDC has it up in their office.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Thanks FOR NOTHING.

Oh, I bet you wish nothing but the best for those two oooh! Sorry, sorry! You started it, though. If you spread the earworm to exorcise it, you gotta expect it to ring around the room for a while. But yeah, songs like that bite when they're a little too close to home. You don't need someone like him. You'll have someone like awesome in due time.

Buffistas are a rare, very special breed of people, and I'm really grateful they've taken me in.

Me too!

Ugh, reality just hit me again

Blah. I hope that reality gives it a miss. We're here for you.
