Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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.

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

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.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Oh, Calli, thank you all for that. I've been thinking about amyth all day.

So glad so many could represent all of us.
