Just trying to reply to some email when I get this bounce-back:
sarahsquarepantz IS NOT ACCEPTING MAIL FROM THIS SENDER
Thanks for the all-caps, AOL. Gah. As if I'm already not sensitive enough about people accepting me.

I had some money to burn and could certainly stand
better karma, so I donated a few books to the Oakland
Library.
I sent Gone With the Wind, Illumination Night, and
Mystic River to the Piedmont Branch. Seeing books I
love on the wishlist made it very easy to choose which
ones to donate. The Chavez branch is getting A Day
in the Life of the US Armed Forces (from a girl who
spent thousands of her best days on Air Force bases)
and a little book called Inner Temple of Witchcraft Meditation.
I don't know why. It just looked like an interesting
thing to have at the public library.
Thanks so much, Anna Rain. Hope you had a blast at
JournalCon. Anna's generous contribution brings our donation numbers up to
641.

All great things must come to an end. And so it goes for Blaine Watch. Thanks to Couch Baron for being such a great eyewitness.
Here he tells the story of Blaine's release, and he gets all emotional doing it.
And thanks to David's boredom, soon you can
read the book:
The first was the backache. The pad is only one inch thick - so when I lie down... my back is in continual pain which started on day two. Also when it gets cold this pad gets really hard so that's another crazy discomfort.
Number two is sharp shooting pains in my muscles ... I can't stretch arms or legs out 'cos of these killing pains. Next - always cold at night - the walls are thin. The lights do nothing to provide heat. The two small, round heaters didn't last - if I put my hands right against them I can feel that ... In the day, the sun bakes. Number four. Headache. Number five. Strobe light effect in eyes. Number six. My heart is beating really fast, then slows down and stops - it's irregular.
My mouth is always dry, which reminds me to drink which is good, and it tastes like sulphur - which almost tastes like shit. For the first days it tasted sweet 'cos my body was breaking down sugars into glucose.
Dust balls all over everything - they even get in my nose and throat. When I stand up everything goes black and sometimes my hearing goes out. When I concentrate on something too much it hurts in my head. Fantasies about food - don't usually hurt but once in a while I crave it. 'Cos of the taste in my mouth the water is often disgusting to drink.'
FUN. STUFF.
