Hah, I'm so embedded in this that I missed the obvious Buffy connection!
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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!

meara - I have loved your travel updates. I spent a couple of weeks in Japan when I was 15 (mumbledecadesmumbleago). I'd love to go back and revisit some of the places I didn't appreciate as much as I would have as an adult.
I keep wanting to find a way to go to Germany. My dad is going there in a couple of weeks. I want to be there for my cousins. But even if I had the travel funds, leaving home right now would be very complicated.
Partly because I dropped Crowley off to be neutered this morning, so he is going to need extra tlc for the next bit.

I do a lot of fannish squeeing on Ravelry of all places. There are all sorts of nooks and crannies over there for non-knitting things.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm sorry, Suzi. It's hard to be far away from family in times like that.
I just sent an email withdrawing from my chorus. It's the right thing to do, but it makes me feel like a failure. Sigh.

It's the right thing to do, but it makes me feel like a failure.
Someone who was a failure would not tell anyone they were quitting and just not show up to performances. IJS.
I'm sorry that you won't get to do the travel, though.
