Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Happy Birthday Jen!!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday, Jen! Looks like you're off to a fine and mellow start.

JZ is super psyched to go perform at RenFaire this weekend as a substitute Puritan. Scolding people in period diction is in her blood.

She hasn't gotten to do Faire even on a pinch hit basis for about five years, I think.

Matilda is going to a Homecoming dance in Pleasanton tomorrow night. It is my unpleasant(on) task to collect her from far suburbia at midnight. (Matilda's school doesn't have homecoming. Her beau's old school, however, does and they're going with his friends.)

Tim’s surgery got moved up by about an hour, so it is already over and went very well! Everything went smoothly and I should be able to see him in about an hour. Assuming recovery goes well (and it should), he’ll be home some time Monday. Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Some news finally!

Edit: GOOD news, I meant! Phew.

Awesome news, Steph.

Aw, Homecoming. Yay.

I would got.to Ren Faire JUST to stalk JZ as she performs. Joy! (I mean, I'd go anyway, but...)

And thanks for the HBDs!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woohoo successful surgery!

Work is irritating me and leaving me with not enough brain to respond to anything else, sorry! I am thinking appropriate thoughts as I lurk but typing them out is too hard

Great news about, Tim!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And I'm going to post this separately.

So, Drew did commit suicide. He shot himself in the head in Golden Gate Park on Tuesday morning. His wife, Raquel, had asked for a divorce. He'd been dealing with the suicidal ideation for a long time. Five years ago he'd been hospitalized on suicide watch. He killed himself at the exact spot he'd told her he would kill himself. (Not something he was using as guilt ploy during the separation. Something he told her years ago during the earlier crisis.)

Leaves behind four kids, and a huge blast radius of emotional wreckage.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday JenP!
