'Out Of Gas'
[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.
There's a great restaurant in the 30s called Artisenal, which is All. About. Cheese.
It has a cheese cave! AND a maitre du fromage, who is the dude in charge of the cheese, like the sommelier with the wine. (And maitre du fromage translates literally to CHEESEMASTER! I AM THE MASTER OF THE CHEESE! TREMBLE BEFORE ME!!!!)
{{{Cindy}}} I hope your neck feels better soon.
{{{Anne}}} Relocation ~ma.
No luck looking at apartments again today. I don't want to have to do this, and know that I have to isn't helping.
{{sj}} Easy-apartment-finding~ma. Yeah, it sucks. But sometimes you get better deals this time of year. Particularly in college areas where landlords may be desparate to rent out the last couple of units for the school year.

You know, I think he actually said that when he came to our table.
Not that I would have noticed, what with the drooling and the panting.
Re NYC: what ever happened to La Nouvelle Justine? The sadomasochist themed restaurant? They had great, uhm, cheesecake.
AmyLiz, I've been meaning to compliment you on your tag. I adore Little Women, and re-read it at least once a year.

Oh, me too. It's one of my reading comfort foods. That and A Little Princess. It's time to change it, though. Christmas, sadly, is over.
I've been trying to figure out where your tag is from, too, because I'm sure I've heard it...
Little Women readers--do you read the unabridged or an abridged version? I tried the unabridged and kept tripping on the preachy parts.

Fight Club. Tyler Durden said it in the middle of a rant about popular culture. Though IIRC, he said "YOU are not your goddamned khakis." I just wanted it to be first-person, b/c of some stuff I've been churning around in my head for a while. (Stuff that I haven't talked about yet -- here or in LJ.)

I grew up reading the abridged version, and then it fell apart, so I bought a new copy, not realizing it was unabridged. I skip the preachy parts. It's an excellent example of the way judicious editing helps.
