Weirdest Dream lately :
I dreamed I was on the "other side" when my Dad was passing. I spoke to him and made sure he was okay. Then I woke, and knew he was gone. 30 minutes later, we got the call from the hospital saying that his blood pressure had crashed in the last 30 minutes.
Currently working on :
A BTVS related story called "Long Goodbye" which deals with a member of the Watchers Council being vamped as part of an experiment.
Also completing my nanowrimo effort.
A blog for that outspoken and aggressive member of the Buffy Bulletin Board.

My Dads in hospital
A few minutes ago, my Dad woke up coughing blood. We reckon the tumor is bleeding. The Ambulance just arrived and took him away, with Mother and sister in tow. I've been asked to stay behind.
I really want to call my brother right now, but he's asleep in another timezone, and my Dad asked me not to call him.
Fuck it. I'm really worried, and this writing spiel isn't helping me calm down.
He's been in a bad way the last few days, but nothing like this.
I never realised how little I knew about first aid. Is it good or bad that the blood is light or dark? How serious is a hemoraging (sp?) tumor anyway?
I'll be kept updated by my sisters cellphone. And fuck it, I'm going to call the brother. If its not serious, then he'll miss a nights sleep. So what? If it is serious, I'd want to know in his position.
