How do you do chocolate for dogs, vw? Carob?

Yup...carob.

Hee, sounds fun. Lucy's dog daycare back in DC used to do dog ice cream socials every so often.

See, the lovely Erin, with the grown up sexlife?

BWAH! If "grown-up" means "drunken booty call" then yeah, I'm all about that.

I would prefer "grown-up sexlife" to mean martinis and cocktails dresses with George Clooney, then a wild tequila-fueled threesome with GC and Colin Farrell in the back of a limo...but I guess you take what you can get, no?

This temp job is over this Friday. I hope that the agency has something lined up for me, I truly do....but a small part of me kinda hopes that I will have MOnday off, so I can go to the school, and clean my room and putter around arranging things.

I like JZ's answer for the shipwreck riddle. I thought it sounded like a description of dating services..."She" is the author, and potential date, the shipwreck survivors are the people participating in the dating service, the shipwreck is whatever turn of relationship fate brought them here and left them adrift in the dark and the storm (and "sea" is often a symbol for sexuality). The sea could also be the mysterious virtual world inside the computer, which is the "wooden box" that she's peering into, seeing other shipwreck survivors.

The "sky opened up" doesn't mean it started to rain...it means that someone opened the wooden box she herself is in.

But I still think bt ought to write a puzzle in return. Seize tempo, as they say in chess.

Wow. Raquel wins the date with the lady!

The "sky opened up" doesn't mean it started to rain...it means that someone opened the wooden box she herself is in.

Maybe she's a fan of Loom. It's an old LucasArts game, and there's a bit where there's a prophecy about "the day the sky was opened." So we were stuck and not making any progress, and we noticed you could interact with the sky (as in, if you moved your mouse over the sky, it said "sky"). So, for kicks, we did an Opening spell on the sky.

I love it when you do things for fun in games and it turns out to be right.

Thank you all for the extensive flattery. I'm drinking it up!

Fay, you will be ridiculously gorgeous regardless, but I think you would make a lovely redhead. And I bet you could get some high-quality henna where you are!

Now off to try to do my homework. Class four hours a night four days a week is going to be... trying. Especially in terms of getting the homework done.

(Oh, and I'm sure you're not crap at the kissing/etc., Fay. But I know what you mean. After enough of a dry spell, you do feel like you've regressed, don't you? And then the nervous fumblings that were endearing as a 17-year-old maybe aren't so great on a 30-year-old and oh dear I've given myself a complex. But I'm sure you're fine!)

No one in the world can be as bad as this guy I kissed once.

He kissed like an epileptic turtle. I can't describe it without physical movement. It was appalling.

So don't worry, Fay. I'm sure you're a fabu kissah.

threesome with GC

Woot!
