Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I hope the bruise doesn't hurt too bad. No way to segue this, but I have a lovely seafoamish green in the Homespun, and like the purple a lot too. We lost a local yarn shop last year. Very sad to lose them, but the going out of business sale was like crack for me.

'Night Lilty! 'Night all!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Daniel has a new tag.

I fell asleep during VM. I didn't get half the things done today that I needed to get done. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the semester the week.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Cindy, in case you don't have enough relaxation ideas, here is the one I use, as taught by my Gen. Psych. prof, who swore that if done while falling asleep, this would cause one to enter the REM stage much sooner, thereby reducing the amount of sleep needed. I've tried it for that purpose, and find it works for me. ~~~~ Working from your feet up to your head, contract a group of muscles so you feel them tense up. Then let go, feel how the muscles relax. Take a deep breath, or several - inhaling through the nose, exhale through mouth. Then move on to the next group of muscles: tense, relax, and so on.

You start by tensing your toes. Feel how tense they get. Release the muscles, feel how the tension releases as your muscles relax. Breathe deeply. Tense the balls of your feet, feel the tension, release, feel the relaxation, breathe. Move on to ankles. Calves and shins. Knees. Thighs. Bum. Lower stomach. Upper stomach. Chest. Upper arms. Forearms. Hands. Shoulders. Neck. Face. Scalp.

Cereal, now that everyone sane on the North AMerican continent is in bed.

P-C, I am in love with your new tag. It delights me far more than I can express with mere statistics.

p.s. I used to be able to do calculus in my head, but alas! can no longer perform basic arithmetic in a reliable fashion.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aimee -- good on you for parenting an infant and sleeping. Not a sure bet, by any means.

Thanks, ita. Today though? NSM. However, she is finally sitting in her swing without screaming and even falling asleep in it.

The horrid rain knocked our internet out for 2 days. It finally came back this morning. Ironic thing is that our cable bill came yesterday. The promo rate for our digital internet is finally up and they want $50 a month.

Here I go over to Verizon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hi Aimee!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Dude, I don't test well, I never understood the purpose of tests, I still don't, I think they're the biggest waste of time since the invention of the hula hoop, and I never developed the tact to mask my contempt for the damned things in front of the teachers who thought they were Very Very Important and would Determine The Course Of My Life. At this point, the idea of taking a test other than to test my vision or ability to safely pilot an automobile would make me reach for my crossbow.

I write books for a living. People read them. Test that, yo.

edit: obviously, Take The Big Multiple Test is different from a skills test, a la krav level. Those, I would do in a heartbeat, like the driving test.

School tests? No.

You're probably asleep by now, aren't you?
