Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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.

Mostly lurking...

Cindy, I think that the new snow is supposed to be mostly tomorrow. At least, that's what boston.com said. I hope it's right. I want to get home.

What is even happening?

Stack the Cats score: 141,900; Level 14

I think I need an intervention.

Clearly not a true addict.
I would say the definition of a true coffee addict IS someone who will, if they have no other option, drink shitty coffee. Because I *so* will, if I must. And I am Queen Coffee Addict of the World.
I love coffee and am a true caffeine addict. I get headaches if I don't have caffeine. But some rutgut is just that. The thing is, I don't ever not have coffee. We *don't* run out. I have the teabag-like Coffee bags, in case we do run out, and even bought a cast iron kettle for my fireplace, in case the power goes out, so that I can have coffee. Not yet having my coffee is, to me, as much of a reason to be late, as alarm clock failure.

Oh, for your sake, I hope so. For Ben's sake, I hope not. I know, let's both hope it comes late Wednesday night, instead.

Thrive to spite them

I'm terribly addicted to popcap's Astro pop. And now cat stacker.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Congrats on the article, P-C!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, I don't run out, either. But what if you're visiting friends in another state, and you didn't realize that they don't drink coffee and therefore don't even have a coffeemaker, because you assume that *everyone* drinks coffee, or at least owns a coffeemaker for dinner parties/guests?

Then you force them to swing by the nearest place that has coffee, and sometimes it's swill like gas-station coffee or Starbucks (sorry, Jess, but I just don't like Starbucks), but you do what you gotta do to get that fix.

Chasing the French Roast dragon.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You people claiming to be the true queen coffee addict of the world make me laugh.

Though I suppose someone has to claim my crown while coffee and I are on a break.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Congrats on the article, P-C.

Timelies, all. I am, once again, sitting alone in the office, with no more than a vague idea of what I am supposed to be doing and no one to explain it to me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You're bringing back bad memories of going to visit friends at their cottage in Muskoka for a week, and realizing only after we'd arrived and were 40 miles from the nearest thing resembling a town that they'd switched entirely over to decaf.

Now we always bring our own - and they make a point of reminding us, too, so you can tell it wasn't pretty.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I would say the definition of a true coffee addict IS someone who will, if they have no other option, drink shitty coffee.

Can't one be an addict and a snob? Because I get caffiene headaches the same as everyone else, but if the only coffee available is instant, I'm washing down an Excedrin with Coke.

(sorry, Jess, but I just don't like Starbucks)

Why apologize to me? I've always said their in-store drip coffee is crap. They use the cheapest beans and overextract it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

bought a cast iron kettle for my fireplace, in case the power goes out, so that I can have coffee.

This is an addict right here.

I have one cup of coffee every morning. (Okay, lately it's been 2.) That's it for caffeine. But lord help the person who gets between me and my cup.
