Though I'm quite disappointed to report that the portal to Hogwarts has now closed, I am quite pleased to report that I am now Mrs Hermione Osbourne. Oz and I took the opportunity to get married while we were there, and our dearest friends were in attendance.
Furthermore, Magic Alley is now fully stocked, and I've quite a few new plants to add to the garden. I hope you'll all come by to see the new inventory!
It was recommended to me by the welcome committee to introduce myself on the network and so I'm following their advice. My name is Samirah Al-Abbas. I'm from Boston and I'm still getting used to this place. I do have a question I didn't think to ask when I was greeted. Is there a place here one can learn to fly a plane?

Ariadne mentioned you are the local Imam here. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Samirah Al-Abbas. I will probably be frequenting the mosque a lot.
While it lacks the rustic charm of Zhu Zin, I can't say I mind the place. Fewer animals, better hygiene, it's the simple things, really. I have a few issues with the travel limitations but there's not much I can do about that, I've been told.
Such as it is, I've been given my orientation and this neat little gadget, and set free to roam as I please. I guess if I'm stuck here then I should start looking for a job. Perhaps a bit quick, but I've never been the sort to sit idle for long. Where do they post the Wanted listings around here?
Who: Mr. Wednesday and Samirah Al-Abbas. Where: Near the Mosque. When: Saturday, September 28. What: Wednesday meets Samirah. Warnings: TBD. Status: Closed

Wash said he didn't want to go shopping for a while because he couldn't concentrate on that and his surroundings. I guess he maybe came close to taking a swing at Charlie's boss when he got surprised and he's worried he'd hit some normal shopper if they startled him. I know I'll feel better about him not doing it yet, it'll be holiday time soon and people are nuts.
I'm kind of feeling out someone about helping out with that and a few other things.

So I guess Madison Valley wasn't quite done with me. Nice of it to not mess with my stuff, that's helpful.
I don't suppose anyone's hiring for like, office help or anything? Not phones. Definitely not phones. Customer service probably won't work out for a while either. The theater is being really cool about letting me help with sets and costumes and all but it feels wrong being there.
Have any of you moved into those fancy little townhomes they offer? They cost a bit more and bollocks, if I'm still not used to actually having to pay for things I like, but they sound nicer than these and if I'm trapped in one place for the next thousand or so years, even a bit of luxury sounds like a bonus.
And those gardens on the roof...anyone taking care of those? Obviously someone must but are they doing it well, that's the real question here, innit?

I've officially packed up the last box, so we're all set for the movers to come in the morning. It's been quite a daunting task, packing up two places, but it'll be well worth it. Our new address will be 419 N Cedar Cliff Drive, and I'm certain we'll have a housewarming party at some point. It'll be so nice to all be under one roof
The break yesterday for the birthday party was much needed. I'm not sure I would have finished in time otherwise.
Who: Adam Vasic & Llewellyn Cornick What: Date night Where: Llew's place When: last night Warnings: nope Status: started in gdocs; will continue in comments
