Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

'Touched'


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.

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?

{{Lilty}} That just hurts to read.

Ouch, Lilty. Coming-home-safe-vibes, needless to say.

Always Anti-fascist!

Good thoughts for Lilty, even if I'm not up on the Bad Thing yet.

On a much shallower note...

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Thanks, guys. I mean, it's really good to know he's ok, but it just hurts to know that, for all I'm happy, someone else is not. And I hate knowing how much this is going to change him, and I know that's what happens in a war, and I'm just all..ACK!

Work now. But thanks for letting me Ack.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Is it normal for babies to like to rock back and forth? Because Annabel has been doing it for the past day or two. She seems to like the noise it makes when she hits her head against the (soft) side of the playpen, and in the high chair it seems to mean "bored now, can we either give me something different to eat or let me get down". But it just looks weird and is freaking me the hell out.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My brother used to rock his crib all the way across the room and then bang it into the wall. My parents finally had to tie it to the radiator.

She's playing rhythm to the radio station in her head.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A huge buffalo, standing in the middle of lockers and benchs, staring at itself in the mirror. This pleases me.

"You are one handsome son of a bitch! You are! You totally rock!"

Is it normal for babies to like to rock back and forth?

Normal. Everything Annabel does is either normal or way better than normal. Normal normal normal.

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

Oh...Polter-Cow got a "jump." and I don't mean porn. That's what the "continued" is. Good for you.

Ah, cool. Yeah, the last-minute edits on this weren't as painful as last time. This time, they cut out an analogy from my interviewee (which was fine, really, because it was redundant); put two paragraphs together that shouldn't have been, making the second one appear to refer to things in the first one that it really wasn't (but at least it doesn't misrepresent the answer, only the methods used to obtain it); and added a sentence emphasizing a point that got lost in some of the verbiage. It wasn't a bad sentence (props for using the word "surmised"), and it's not far off from something I would have written, but it was weird to wake up in the morning and find this sentence I had no hand in writing attributed to me.

I hope for next week's article to be blissfully shorter.
