Ten things make a list, and I like lists. Hark, a list!

10. For some reason, people have been sending me Livejournal messages a lot recently. You are totally welcome to do this, but please be aware that I may take months to answer, even years, as they are a lower priority than messages which come in through my website contact form. If you want to contact me for any reason, your best channel is my website, which has a lovely and easy-to-use contact form. These emails go to my PA, who answers some questions herself and forwards the rest on to me. Where they appear in my inbox, impossible to ignore. Where they get answered.

9. Seriously, just use the contact form. I don't really answer messages received through any other channel in any sort of a reasonable time (and I don't answer Facebook messages at all).

8. I am making cioppino tomorrow night! I am so excited about that! Except...

7. ...I'm making it for me and Olivia to eat while we watch "The Quarterback" and cry. I know Glee is a frequently terrible show, but I am genuinely saddened by Cory's death, and this is going to be emotionally devastating.

6. The tip jar is remaining open until tomorrow morning, largely because I forgot to post this reminder yesterday. Thanks to everyone who's chipped in so far, and to everyone who hasn't, too, because sometimes life says "not this time." Y'all are awesome.

5. So awesome, in fact, that I am compelled to make sure you've seen the incredible videos on SymboGen.net. Seriously, this is some of the best marketing ever, and it's for my book. I am overcome with squee.

4. The field of Alice's fucks lies fallow, and I support this.

3. Carrie: The Musical is really fantastic. If you're in the Bay Area, I recommend the Ray of Light production, now playing in San Francisco. If you're not, look around; there are a lot of productions going right now, due to the rights opening up.

2. Zombies are love.

1. HAPPY OCTOBER HALLOWEEN IS COMING.

Awww - yay for demonbunnies!

My previous companion was Pepper the Plague Bunny. She had a rough time before I adopted her, so it took her a long time to decide that people-hands could be nice things as well as pokey things. It was months before she let me pet her and the first time she binkied I cried for happy. But she also ended up with chronic pasteurella, and that led to the health issues that finally finished her off. But she hopped up on the bed to ask for pettins every night and slept under my bed right up until the end. Non-bunny-people just don't understand how much personality is stuffed into those little fluffy bodies.

Have you considered fostering? Rescue groups always need fosters and they pay all of the expenses.

Aww, Pepper sounds sweet. Poor baby. Charlie was more aggressive than I'd ever seen in a rabbit, but she liked to snuggle me and she loved to sit in my lap. She was only 3 when she died of cancer and I still miss her.

There are several foster programs around here, but I don't think they'd pay for the $500 deposit I have to pay my landlady in exchange for having an animal in the apartment. Not to mention that with my schedule, I wouldn't be around enough hours of the day for an animal, really. Having an owner, or even a foster-mommy that's gone 8-5 every day wouldn't be fair. Once I pass my QE in 2 years, I might be able to work from home a bit more and be around more, so maybe then. It's a shame - the local vet college does have a great foster program.
