Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[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.
( continues...) Edwin Booth (John Wilkes' brother) is a complete and total woobie. I tend to have mixed feelings about audio books, but this one was excellent. Various people such as Brad Bird, Catherine Keener, Jon Stewart, Stephen King, etc. cameo as the voices of various people who are quoted throughout the book. Brad Bird does the voices of Charles Guiteau and Emma Goldman, in case you were wondering.
Dad and I were both equally appalled that Americans don't seem to be able to learn from history and were in agreement that Garfield really did not deserve to be shot and then die a lingering death due to infection.
When we get to the bumpy roads leading to my dad's farm, the cat starts kvetching a bit, but I really can't complain.
On edit:
At settlement, my realtor gave me, as a gift, a copy of Who Moved My Cheese. Please join me in saying "WTF?" (My realtor on this end came by today and gave me a whole bunch of gift certificates to a chi-chi catering company not ten minutes from my new house. This evening, I dined on Chicken Saltimbocca and praised her name to the skies.)
Next installment: "Wow, this place looks really... empty."
Leif used to gobble down dry dog food any chance he could get
I remember trying it once when I was about 4, on a dare from my best friend (it was her dog). But it was not something that I was tempted to try again!!
Besides, I don't have to attend ANY meetings--just lounge by the poo
Ooh, sounds nice.
My business trip involved working about 7 hours, and then going to Walmart, and then to Hitchiker's Guide (which I thought was adorable. But I'm bitter cause I missed the previews!!!)
So it turns out we should have stayed through the credit
Are you referring to HHGTTG?? Hmm. Between that and the previews, maybe I need to see it again...
Timelies...
I'm eating Nilla Wafers right now. The box comes with a free Nascar trading card. That'll come in handy.
Didja want me to cut my hair short? Cause that will really depend on *which* card...
"Wow, this place looks really... empty."
Cherish this moment while it lasts, Anne... Soon your things will be there. Unpacking will ensue, likely followed by hijinks. It sounds like your trip with your dad was good time together. It made me misty.
I need to make dinner. A friend is crashing here for a couple of nights as she has a training class a few miles away (saving her from a multi-hour commute each way) and I think I promised food. Why did I go and do that?
eta: I ate cat food once when I was younger. It is not on the menu for tonight. Gross. I wouldn't stop a kid from trying it but I just remember it being horrid. Meow Mix actually.

Funniest meara. Ever.
Popping in here to say: Anne, I'm sorry that you are no longer in my area, but big WHOO to finding your new place and the ease of the journey to it. Many many good wishes to you.
Funniest meara. Ever
Sniff. I'm sad that's my funniest, but just for you, I won't go back and edit. :)
Whew. Home. For the record, I made my way halfway across the country alone, explored a new city by myself, then made it back, at which point the Universe must have realized I was feeling pretty proud. Thus, I forgot where I parked my car at the airport. Walked around for an hour in the rain, luggage in tow. When a shuttle driver picked me up again I looked like a drowned rat.
But still, a fantabulous vacation. I'm tired and would go to sleep, but I drank a whole cup of coffee on the drive home and I know I'd lie there awake. Ima go to the music store at midnight to buy PotO on dvd to watch in bed.
Sniff. I'm sad that's my funniest, but just for you, I won't go back and edit. :)
Well, funniest this week, anyway. I just imagined myself in a lounge chair, sunglasses and drink at hand, sitting by a giant pile of dog shit.
Believe me, it's a lot funnier in my head.
