What is even happening?

Laura, in my head, the part of Consuela is being played by the cultural exchange center curator who did not ripple nearly enough for Anya's liking.

smonster, maybe it's the syphilis talking, but that's where my head went.

SuziQ, I'm sorry to hear your family is going through this.

Burrell, congrats on your new position (and the trip to Hawaii).

Teppy, congrats on the Clark Gable dream.

That's pretty great, Consuela, on several levels. Well done you!

I'm sorry, Suzi.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

There is a film crew starting to set up outside. And based on the parking notices they'll be here until 3am Saturday. I really hope they aren't doing loud night shoots.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ugh - I messed up $$ calculations for this month even with finding some old regular savings and I'll need to transfer money out of investment savings to cover all of the mandatory expenses. Paycheck just hit today and I will be withdrawn by the middle of next week if I pay the minimum on all credit card bills as well as all the regular bills on their due dates.

Hah, I'm so embedded in this that I missed the obvious Buffy connection!

I think the funny syphilis would have gone to the construction crews that dug them up years ago; Suela's the one putting them back to rest.

Wow Suela that's really interesting! But yes very Pangs related especially in November!

I am still in Japan but kinda ready for it to be over (we'll, ready to be home, not ready to go back to work!)

I'm glad the remains had someone looking out for them with respect, Consuela.

I'm feeling a bit fannishly adrift. The latest Thor was a blast, but I don't really feel like I'm in any active fannish spaces aside from b.org. LJ culture seems dead and buried, tumblr doesn't seem to be as fannishly fun as it was (unless I'm just not following the right people). Suggestions? Is there some hot new platform that I'm just not aware of?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hear that, meara. Even fun travel is wearing after a while.

I am looking forward to a good day! Not too many meetings, a nice walk in the afternoon (for work purposes), and my favorite vendor is here for lunch!! Let's hope it all works out.

Good luck, Jesse!

I hope you can enjoy the rest of your trip, meara.

I have no ideas, Calli.

Made it to work early, so I can leave early, yay!
