I'm sorry, Matt.
JAR was in the TV adaptation of that, wasn't he?
I forgot there was one, but yes!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Matt.

Thanks everyone. I know it's silly, but with two cancer deaths one after another and Mom's recurrence all happening close together it feels more like a vendetta than just statistics.

Congrats, amych! Are you planning to move, or is that just sort of in your back pocket in case TFG actually wins in '24?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
For now it's 99% a back pocket option (and a good bit of if-I-win-the-lottery-I-don't-actually-play dreaming), but if/when the time came that we decided to move, it opens up, well, all of Europe. And it somehow feels right to close that loop.

Wow, amych! ETA: that seems like a big thing in several ways!

Our wings are not tired.
So very cool, amych!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's very exciting, amych!
JZ and I had been looking at the possibility of a Greek passport, which you can get if you invest in enough property over there. Initially it was really low! (something like $50K) but now it's up to more like $200K. Still, we could have an Air BnB type property in Athens that JZ's relatives over there could run for a cut and we'd still have the EU passport. Still tempting.
Dangit, I need to order a turkey today! Running out of time. I feel completely ambushed by Thanksgiving this year.

I am tiiiiiiiired. In addition to the usual chaos of work, it is annual review discussion time, and annual budget planning time (which involves me reminding higher-ups that no, really, technical writing and localization aren't free). Any day where I have under 6hrs of meetings is a good one.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to the dentist and had several cavities filled. Afterwards, I got myself a Frappuccino, forgetting the logistics of trying to drink through a straw when one’s mouth is numb. Silly me…
