This is just to say

[dira]

the computer I'm on refuses to access yahoo in any fashion - no email and no messenger - so if you were trying to contact me or wondering where I was or looking forward to delivering the cut direct via private communication, well, sorry. I'm only reachable to yahoo-communicating types via lj comments today.

ETA: Never mind. It's all better now, and I didn't even have to sacrifice any squirrels.
