Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey, Boston-area people, I have a friend who's trying to figure out travel stuff. She needs to get from Back Bay (Amtrak) to South Station to pick up the Concord Bus. Is there some kind of city transit that will accomplish that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The easiest way is to take a commuter rail train one stop. She'll have to buy a separate ticket from that, but it should be pretty straightforward. The only problem with that is commuter rail train schedules are fucked right now.

But wait, if she's on an Amtrak train at Back Bay, it's about to go to South Station next.

Yeah, but it triples the price of the ticket.

Seriously? I have never heard of such a thing! The commuter rail will be $2.40, apparently.

I just got back from amyth’s service and post-service drinks with, among others, Vortex, Javachick, Amych, and Smonster. The service was sad, and lovely, and moving. It was wonderful to meet so many f2f afterwards, though. I’m so glad so many could make it!

Happy birthday, Juliana!

Oh that’s so nice that y’all were able to be there

I'm so glad you could all go, and represent for the rest of us.

Buffistas got multiple shoutouts in the service. Amyth’s non-Buffista friends knew how important she was to us.

That is lovely to hear about.

Our wings are not tired.

It is wonderful that so many of her loved ones were able to be together.
