Aw, Susan... Feeling the Feb. hate. Ever thought of switching to writing noir?:) Because since I started mine, life brings me pain and I think "Material! Bring it, bitch."(Because my inner voice likes the Wire too much, too.)
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[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.

I'll be getting together with Kristin and the NYistas for V-day. There may be candy, but probably no hearts or flowers...
There will be sushi and billiards and friends and a lot of laughter. Best Valentine's Day EVAH!

Mostly lurking...
Speaking of V-Day hijinks...when I was in high school, all of my friends and I would dump our guys on V-Day and have a "rotic" dinner (romantic without the man). It was always great fun. I kind of miss that tradition, although, I think I'd like to come up with a different name for it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I just ate a Gardenburger™ Meatless Sweet & Sour "Pork" with Rice.
The fake pork was pretty good. Not quite sold on the point of making non-meat taste like meat, but this was tasty. Plus, it has the virtue of only being 14 grams of carbs per serving.
Actually? It was better than some traditional frozen entrees I've eaten.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Feeling a little better now that I'm enjoying blessed blissful solitude. But this contest entry is hell--it'd be wrong of me to disclose any details, but suffice it to say it's by far the worst of the five I've been assigned to judge, and is one of the worst things I've ever read. And yet I know there's a human being on the receiving end who loves her story as much as I love mine, so I'm trying to somehow couch this barrage of criticism in a manner that's helpful rather than soul-shredding.
Argh.

My Mom and stepdad are vegan, and so I've tried a lot of meat alternatives at their house. And I gotta say, the good people at Gardenburger hit a home run with the Riblets. They are really really REALLY fucking good, and I say that as a committed meat-eater.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I start salivating just thinking about the Riblets. They're Pavlovian.

Oh, as usual, dear:
Mandatory health plans proposed
Bill would require coverage
SACRAMENTO -- Similar to the law requiring drivers to have car insurance, a bill introduced Thursday by a San Fernando Valley lawmaker would force Californians to have private medical coverage or enroll in a government-subsidized plan, if eligible.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Tep, our local TJ's just started carrying The Riblets, and the last time I was there I bought a package just because of your pimping. Haven't actually tried them yet but I am very excited about the prospect, as ribs are exactly 50% of the meat items I actually really miss.

My friend?(Well, ok, we're like acquaintances that still go back...dang, about twelve years...God, I'm old) Wendy the Crip Yenta has not abandoned her quest to find me a broken young man. I'm torn between "Yay!" and "just kill me now." And also thinking "I can write the end to my Fucked up Romantic Comedy. Maybe." Which CG thought waslike an hilarious idea. Either I've got to stop flattering his ego or he needs to give his writer-sensibility a rest. Or maybe my laughing through pain is too funny. Maybe I should stop.
