I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

For some reason I always read "HKF" as "Hong Kong Fan"...imagining someone who liked Jackie Chan, Michelle Khan and Jet Li films...

My mom is going through estate hell. The buyers of her mom's house keep going "and one more thing" even after they've signed contracts. This is a very expensive luxury home in La Jolla (that $ was my mom's parents, not the rest of the family) and they're getting a total deal on it already because my mom's siblings want to unload quick because of stress. And they keep getting one thing and another thing and another thing. They were offered the chance to make an offer on any of the furniture 3 x. And now they're pissed that the house no longer has furniture in it. They were banking on getting it for free. They're suing their own realtor. Etc. etc. Total hell. They were trouble that was relatively easy to spot. My mom would have walked away from their offer but her siblings didn't want to. So now they're embroiled with complete hell buyers.

Sorry for the ER visit, Perkins. I hope the anti-biotics kick that infection.

Hope you feel better soon, Steph.

And ~ma to anyone else that needs it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

"No proof, only science." Hahahahahahahaha!

Due to head cold and outside cold, I'm sitting under a blanket streaming all of Buffy on Hulu Plus.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Steph, you should absolutely mooch tissues from your co-workers for the rest of the day. I hope your doc can sort things out quickly for you.

My dad's office is throwing a big retirement party for him (big as in gov't officials probably flying in from DC to attend). They specifically scheduled it for a date that I could attend. Since office life is foreign to me I don't know what to expect. Should I dress relatively business-like? Should I bring a gift?

Always Anti-fascist!

I know...that's why they acted it out when DK had an f2f. Of course, we often call each other SFs now

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does wearing Threadless and loving the Dresden Dolls make me a hipster?

No!

Although I hate it when hipsters get into a band after I did and then people start saying that all of that band's followers are hipsters.

Wait, I just did the "I was into that band before everyone else" thing that hipsters do. Oops.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aurelia, I wouldn't bring a gift just because it's in front of other people. But dressing businesslike is safe.

And what's with all the carrots?

This was K yesterday via Netflix. Except she fell asleep during Passion and woke up in time for Go Fish.

Lots of ~ma to Buffistas and their pets.
