That's so cool, Jessica!
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

ugh, my train is super delayed so I am sitting on the floor of the Great Hall trying not to be cranky.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gotta pack tonight, as we fly down to Florida tomorrow afternoon. It's the traditional visit with folks down there. I'll be pretty much dark, net-wise the whole time as my folks do not have wi-fi. Ah, well, there's books on my iPad, and I'm sure we can find something on cable. (Also, there's a movie theater less than a mile from my parents' place, and Gary and I haven't seen The Desolation of Smaug yet...)

I was off work today, and I don't go back until the 3rd. It's very nice.
Msbelle, I'm glad Mac has someone who gets what grief can be like.
Gracey sounds like an awesome cat.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Someone tried to set the base of a "Keep Saturn in Saturnalia" sign on fire. It didn't work. Possibly because the base was made of metal. [link]

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My older brother got busted for a DUI while driving as part of his job. So he's fired, going to court, maybe to jail, no longer engaged, kicked out of his house, now living with our parents, which means he'll be around ALL the time when I visit. I think my visit is going to be very short. God. Fuck. Not just drinking on the job, not just drinking while driving, but apparently heavily intoxicated. Fuckfuckfuck you dumb fuck.

Sheryl, I hear ya on lack of parental wifi. It's why I stay with my sister...thoug now in the era of smartphones it's a little better.
Assuming we can ever get OFF this plane, I should make my connection ok even though we are an hour late. I forgot how many small children are traveling at the holidays. I like them one but dislike that they get to board ahead of everyone (even if I understand why) because there's so many of them now!!!

Ack, Juliebird. No, you're completely justified in making it a short visit, particularly if your parents are enabling.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Download an extra book! Just to be sure!
One of my holiday destinations lacks internet and I always feel like I have to really plan ahead. Though smart phones mean that email and such is always still right there.
