Drive-by posting!

[weaselmom]

I have just a few moments to send a shout-out to my peeps and homies, yo. (I swear, I'm going to say that clear through my 80s just to irritate the hell out of people.) How are you all doing out there, my little squirrels? If you don't get a personalized message, don't fret--it just means I've run out of time before being forcibly plucked from the keyboard.

K&C: Congratulations on what sounds like a fabulous conference remarkably free from screaming and Muppet arms! Hey, did you ever get a box from me? If not, then my phobia of the US Postal Service is entirely justified. I hope Chris was able to steal a few hours away from the conference and fireworks and claim them for his own birthday festivities.

Neeners and WW: Yay for the house offer thing! Man, if I had that view from the living room, I wouldn't put any furniture or anything in it. Just two huge beanbag chairs flopped down right in front of the windows. Oh, and a winch to get my ass out of the beanbag chair eventually. But is it just me, or does the idea of a "torch down roof" inspire the opposite of confidence? I wouldn't want my roof to be torched down. S's immediate concern is for the safety and well-being of the bikes and WW's tools. Will they have a happy home too? Hey, Neeners, would you like to get together for lunch on Saturday while WW is at work? Not like you don't have a thousand things to do if you're going to move, but everybody has to eat sometime.

PMB and Alexia: Jilli, so sorry to hear about this place you find yourself in. Perhaps it is time to give the universe another sincere talking-to. You guys, don't wait for me to place the group order for the A.L. stuff--I have no idea what I want, so don't let me hold up the parade. I'll catch up later. I would love to see what you end up getting, though!

DJUH: Yay for the new job! Yay for working downtown, but boo for being at the wrong *end* of downtown. Well, one of us is, anyway.

Skarrin: I'm so glad you liked the SFM! What about the Homeworld globe? Huh? Huh huh huh? I may take you up on that offer to come along with anybody who wants to visit!

Silvergoth: Hey you! Make with the posts! Please to be telling funny petshop stories! You've got 'em, and I want 'em. ("Over-caffeinated Weaselmom: Now with 30% MORE bossiness!")

She: I miss seeing your frequent and fierce posts, but I gladly give them up in the knowledge that you are happy and in love.

Catgirlmecha: How is little Momo? She had the ick going on in her mouth. Is she better? More cute ferret stories and pictures would not go amiss. I'm just sayin'.

Malixe: Good God, it's himself! Welcome! How on earth did you find me? I'm all stealthy and shit. Seems like forever since I've seen you!

And that's it for tonight. Break it up and move along!

Hugs,

Who, me?

Hey darlin'! Somebody or other had a link to silvergoth and I had a wild guess as to who THAT was... and I found you on her LJ list and said 'hmm... interests that include ferrets and gothic miss manners, gary numan, dark ambient and industrial--plus the fondly remembered genteelly caustic, sarcastic and frequently hilarious writing style--and I knew it had to be you.

Good to find you alive and kicking dear, and my regards to the Barbarian as well.

I have never enjoyed being considered caustic (genteelly even!) so much in my life. ::gg:: It sounds like you're doing well! Have fun at the event!

I just took Momo to the vet again this morning--you must be psychic!
The little white bump in her mouth hasn't changed in a week. The vet says he thinks it might just be a permanent little bump, maybe a scar where she hurt herself eating. (That may be our fault--she was eating duck soup/mush at the pet store, and we started her right away on the same kibble Zoku eats. She seemed to like it, so we never made her anything else.)
I just took a few pictures yesterday--now Momo's favorite spot is under the entertainment center and halfway behind the washing machine. (Don't worry about the latter--Japanese washing machines are built entirely differently from American ones.) As for stories, I'll do my best!

Well, I scoured my ferret books and found no mention of mouth health other than things like gum/lip ulcers or broken teeth or dentistry. Does it look at all ulcerated? Maybe it is just a little scratch from her first grown-up food. Do the Japanese vets like your ferrets?

Aren't they funny how they have their favorite spots--usually somewhere small that requires them to completely flatten out and kind of lizard their way in. Whither that skull goes, goes the whole weasel.

It just looks like a little whitehead zit. No changes in several weeks. Don't worry, I'll probably post if anything changes.

You're exactly right! *L*

[weaselmom.livejournal.com]

Ah, but I don't miss me when I don't post! Not to worry, though--you will always be fierce to some extent. We count on it!

[kijjohnson.livejournal.com]

We got it! I have a thank-you card already set aside, but I was going to send you back a care package, and haven't been organized enough to do that.

The spiders fall asleep in October, so what about coming out here in the (late) fall, hmmm?

Busy how? Why? To what end?

[weaselmom.livejournal.com]

Yay! I posted the box from work, and any old damn thing could have happened to it.

I am actually giving thought to coming out in late fall. It's good to know that the spiders will all be hibernating inside your furniture by that point.

I will email you about the busybusy, how's that?

[kijjohnson.livejournal.com]

The spiders mostly sleep in our underwear drawers. Mercifully, that makes them not an issue for me.:g:.

Yeah, tell all about the busybusy!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes I (we) got it! I was even good and waited until the actual day to open (though Sanju did her best to make off with the team-monkeyboy-green curleycues).

Thanks so much -- you're just the most thoughtful person in the world. We even wrote a thank-you card, but alas I think it is still on a table of to-do items in the living room. D'oh.

By the way, I had Greg Bear (he of the SFM Advisory Committee) sign a book using the shiny space-age pen with SFM on the side, and he was all full of covetness. Heh heh heh. I told him to suck it up and get someone to buy him one of his own.

Alien heads are well-squeezed. Heh.

Love and hugs,
Chris

I missed you guys so much at the opening(s), so I thought about you extra-hard the whole time and at least I was sharing it with you in my heart. Yeah, I snagged those streamers out of the air at the grand opening--they were fired out of CO2 cannons or some such. Went crazy in the gift stop and only slowed down because I couldn't carry anything else! They totally need little shopping baskets.

Did you get a party at all?

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Heee, what a fun package o' stuff... and cannon fodder... coool!

Our party consisted of sitting at home in air-conditioned comfort with occasional peeps stopping by to drop off gifties or kind words. The most relaxing day in those three weeks.

mmmm. Lunch.
That sounds good.
Will call you. (tying string around finger)
Miss you like crazy.

[weaselmom.livejournal.com]

Yay! I have a coupon for the Library Cafe and would love to treat you to a free lunch, if the food is good. I can also bring you some Georgette Heyers to distract you from the roof inspection thing!
