My dumb ass never changed the card on the autobill for the domain and weirdly I never got any emails so bitchenvy.com was expired for four days.  I realized it yesterday and renewed, and now I'm waiting for the nameservers to sort themselves out.  Hosting was unaffected so hopefully it will be back up shortly. 

This is my mother, Joanne.

She fought like hell but she was just too sick to pull through this time.  She passed away this evening just four days shy of her 63rd birthday.

I don't know how to be me without her.

This is my getting ready for chemo hairdo:





Seriously, I have no idea why I didn't do this sooner, best haircut ever done by twistedwit.  I only wish I did it when I had more hair because I would have looked like some kind of deranged brush headed critter.  Those of you know me well know that I'm practically the lowest maintenance person alive and this is clearly my ideal haircut.  Dennis and I have come to an agreement, if I start shaving my legs I can buzz my hair forever.  :-P

We saw the oncologist on Tuesday, my mother's cancer is NOT lung cancer as we previously thought but is instead metastatic uterine cancer. She had a total hysterectomy two years ago because of the uterine cancer and they believed they got everything at that time and her bloodwork has been good since, but apparently something got loose and made its way to her lung. But it's only in her one lung and no where else, which is apparently super rare and of interest to all the oncologists. There were a bunch of them saying "rare" and "interesting" a lot. She had a port put in on Thursday and she starts chemo on tomorrow morning. Overall they sounded pretty positive, and they said that they would potentially consider removing that lung entirely if that would rid her of the cancer but they're going to do a couple cycles of chemo and see what that does.

I'll gladly take any and all kind thoughts sent our way.  <3

So my mother has lung cancer.

For those of you keeping track at home, that makes two different cancers in two years.

She just got out of the hospital this afternoon, and next week starts the flurry of oncologist visits and PET scans. She's 62 and she's had emphysema for about 15 years and now she's got a tumor in her lung. If any of you are still smoking, FUCKING STOP.

Does not really *getting* tumblr make me old?  Because right now I feel old.

I literally cried from laughter.

I know I used to have interesting things to say (or at least I thought I did) but they all seem to be gone now. I don't know what that's about.

However, I've been reading a lot of fic from various fandoms for the past few weeks and I even started to write something (I KNOW, RIGHT? WHO AM I?) and I have once again been surrounded by my love of fandom.

WHY I LOVE FANDOM

I watched a pilot ep on youtube for a show that never aired, Nikki & Nora, featuring lesbian cops, New Orleans, and CHRISTINA COX OMG. I figured someone had to have written fic about it, so I went to look. Hello, long, plotty, well written fic! It was like my birthday came early.

Dennis and I then had this conversation:

L: So I found several really awesome Nikki & Nora fics.
D: There was only one episode ever made.
L: Yes, but the premise was cool. That's how fic happens.
D: Those are YOUR people.

And I thought, proudly, yes. Yes, they are.

I had that feeling again tonight while watching Aliens vs. Predators. I made a bet with myself that I could find fic with Sanaa Lathan's character (SANAA LATHAN OMG) getting it on with the Predator that she bonded with and sure enough, there it is.

Your job is now your Time Lord name. The last digit of your phone number is the current regeneration you are in. The nearest clothing item to your right is now the most notable item in your current wardrobe. The last person you texted is your current companion. Your favorite word is now your catchphrase.

I am the Administrator.  This is my 8th regeneration.  My ugly gray sweater hoodie is my most notable wardrobe item.  My husband is my current companion, and my catchphrase is BECAUSE FUCK YOU, THAT'S WHY.

I don't have a Who icon, wtf is up with that??

monimala, msaramat,

There is a movie on Syfy right now that has both Yancy Butler AND David Chokachi in it!!

It's like a Witchblade reunion.
