While events on the political spectrum have surprised and delighted me today (and I suspect that somewhere in the afterlife there is one majorly uncomfortable intake interview being done right now), I’ve also learned that someone I knew from Tulsa fandom has died of colon cancer, and a dear friend’s beloved pet has Large Cell Lymphoma (the same kind that my lovably neurotic cat Jordan had) and has a limited amount of time left.

So first off, fuck cancer. Secondly, remember to kiss your loved ones, both human and otherwise, and tell them how important they are to you. Thirdly, get all your necessary tests—boob squishes, cameras up the pooper, whatever is necessary. I know I’m now at the age where losing people and pets is going to happen more and more often, and eventually someone will be posting here about my departure as well (hopefully my nephew Mike, because if it’s Ramón I don’t think anyone will be able to parse “pound your fists in despair repeatedly on the keyboard”). But I’d like to hold all of that off as long as reasonably possible.

In other news I’ll be putting the finishing touches on Crystal Blade Ep 28 after dinner and getting that ready for posting, then I have to go back to formatting Cross Current for wide release. Getting 5-6 hours of sleep a night due to a sciatica attack making me want to cut my leg off has really cut into my work time, yanno?
