anyone wishing to contact me today, take me to dinner, introduce me to your cousin Pablo, show me the world, swear an oath of fealty to me, or grovel before me would do well to remember that i will be completely unavailable between 6pm and 8pm tonight (Central Daylight Time, of course). i will be re-watching "The Body", followed by the broadcast of "Forever." it's Buffy's mom's funeral, and i'm sure i'll end up being all weepy. anyone doubting my sincerity at remaining undisturbed will have to deal with the viscious attack kitty stationed outside my door. (yeah, she may not be able to do anything to you if you call, but she does know other ninja-cat assassins in other states. you are warned.)

if you are able to time your call/visit with a commercial break, i may make exceptions for the Pablo and Oath of Fealty things.
