Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I have not packed nail glue. I can pick that up anywhere before we leave Cairns. After that, it gets a little iffy.

Camera and TWO charged batteries. Only one memory card, but again, that can be remedied

Young@Heart, to be precise. And yes, because it is awesome. But there's a performance of that song that will not leave you. [link]

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, go ahead, you can kill it now.

I ask, because I may or may not be in the area on Dec. 19th. There's an acquaintance of ours who is organizing a political event in DC: Native folks will be reading the appropriations bill where the apology to native america was buried, and non-Native folks will be reading the apology, hopefully in multiple languages.

I'll probably redact this, too. I think it's an amazing thing, and I really want to be a part of it, but oddly enough, I think I will have to do it as an individual, not part of my org, because while I'm pretty sure all my target demographic will be pleased, I'm equally sure that a percentage of my donors wouldn't be.

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

Timelies all!

Went to a benefit concert. Clam Chowder(the group, not the soup!) did a great concert where the proceeds went to a local fan who has cancer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Memory cards for my camera! Added to my list. I am going to be drinking a lot the next week to make it to Nov 8 without a nervous breakdown. Nov 8 I leave for a blessed no-fucking-work nine-day vacation. Until then, there's Make All My Now-Impossible Deadlines Bugaloo, the ongoing tragedy of Sandy, the election, my constantly aching back, finding a new petsitter, and trying to find another pair of goddam jeans that fit. With the continuing Why Can't You Stick To A Diet Polka and Just Go To The Gym You Lazy Hoor Tango on a loop in my head. Damn, I need a drink already.

But I have four new pairs of lovely comfy shoes to wear, so that's good.

Leise, let me know. I'll be long back by then, but I might be off again to B'ham for the festivities.

I just deleted everything on the existing card. It's all downloaded, backed up and a lot on flickr. Saves time. But I still might buy another. 596 photo slots available, I'd been carrying 493!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Liese, keep me in the loop on that.

brenda, marked for later. Can't take it tonight.

Zen, stop. Especially the tango. You have shoes. That is a good start.

Liese, that sounds sort of amazing. I can understand the need to redact.

Girl Scout troop almost started. I love my daughter enough to do this.

Kat, was that ever really in question?
