This thing where good people die and bad people flourish is getting pretty fucking old. Besides Andre Braugher, a fandom friend's husband is dying at 42, two months after a cancer diagnosis.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Can't just leave without claiming another victim. (Ironically, maybe the perfect talent for expressing this moment.)

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

Completely shallow whining: The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland is closing on Jan. 22 for major renovations, and probably won't be open until 2025. I had the vague start of plans to go to Disneyland next spring, but since the Mansion is a very large part of why I'd go, that probably won't happen.
I MISS MY SPIRITUAL HOME, DAMMIT.

Now I'm kind of picturing that you're not the only one, and that on some pagan holiday or something a bunch of goths will be clustered around the "Closed for Repairs" signs saying "Next year at the mansion," Freshly boosted...feeling pretty hale. May it be so.

The 20th anniversary of Bats Day at the Fun Park, the unofficial goth day at Disneyland, is in May, and I suspect this news will affect attendance.

I didn't know that happened, but it makes sense.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oh, Hil. No good. Hydrate like mad. At least you can rest now?
