Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

[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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's from me, askye. I am a bonehead and didn't ask them to put in a card. You like?

Emmett looks like such an adult. Whoa.

I didn't go for natural childbirth, but I did manage "as natural as realistically possible for a medically indicated induction" on the "better for Lily" theory. And yeah, it was a combination of decisions that all added up to something approaching AP. I know/expect I'll be less AP as she gets older.

Stephanie, what diapers do you use for Ellie?

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

Emmett is proof that you don't have to be a baby to be VERY CUTE!!

He's turning out pretty good. Right now his hair is all long and Lance Kerwin-ish.

Heh. And that picture is from the Nilly Tour. He's even bigger and older looking now.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

That kind of writing bothers me too, Susan and I'm single as a unicorn.

It's not so much the writing, since dystopias are a standard trope of science fiction, as the talks we have in the group about the science behind his latest novella. I think he sees the catastrophe as justice against TPTB, and I understand that longing, but it's difficult for me to get excited about a version that's more likely to mean suffering for Annabel than it is for your neocon hate object of choice.

(OK, when he had the bit in his dystopia with the pregnant woman who then gave birth and watched her baby starve in the mega-Ice Age triggered by global warming-induced changes in the ocean currents, back when I was bringing my own baby to the group every week, THEN it was the writing.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Seriously, I can't cope with how big he is. It feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone: "The Boy Who...GREW!"

Okay, a really banal episode. But still.

He's all young-beast-like now, more boy than boy-kid.
