Summer 2003

Fall 2003
In which Magpie becomes incoherent, only able to babble, House! House! Houuuuuuuuuse!

Winter 2004
In which Magpie settles into the house and life in El Suburb, pimps the Diarist Awards and gets a little ranty.

Spring/Summer 2004
In which TheBoy moves in, Sweetcheeks and Turtledove get engaged, the gnomes disappear and living under the Bush administration wears really thin.

Fall 2004
