When it rains, it pours. #nottalkingabouttheweather
My parents' house was robbed last night. No one was home at the time, though we think my father coming home and talking to the neighbor on the front porch scared them into running out the back patio. They got my parents' passports, two laptops, and my mom's external hard drive. Which my mom is completely broken-hearted about since it was the only copy of her 26+ years of work at UNDP before retiring at the beginning of this year.
Beat cops and the evidence team were surprisingly quick -- they were finished within three hours of my father's call to 911 and two hours of arriving at the house.
Still, now I get to go to my parents in an hour or so and start calling banks, credit bureaus, and repairmen. Not fun.
In other news, I'm trying to sell some of my stuff in preparation for moving to LA in February. If you have any interest in comics or manga, check these out-- I've got them up on craigslist right now, but you guys have first dibs if you get back to me within the next day or two. And the last one is definitely negotiable; make me an offer!
DEMO comics by Brian Wood & Becky Cloonan - $8
Vampire Comics - Bite Club (complete) and Anita Blake (1-4) - $10
Lot of 32 English Manga (Kenshin, Hikaru no Go, Utena, Nana, more) - $50
Last thing-- I'm hosting the upcoming SEX IS NOT THE ENEMY FICATHON and need a banner or two for promotion! Anyone willing to come up with something? I was supposed to work on it last night but then this crap happened. =(((
