I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Spike's Bitches 25 to Life  

[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.

Because books.

Assorted ~ma and punctuation to them that needs it. All I need today is an air-conditioner. Or a freezer, preferably.

"How to refuse to make yourself miserable about anything, yes anything!" by Albert Ellis

Cool. I wrote the cover copy for the updated version of that, but I don't think the new edition is out yet.

Compassionately intolerant

No kidding! That IS cool. Did you work with Dr. Ellis for the copy?

This one was in the 'leftover' sales stuff at B&N, so not the new edition. I like the idea that there is a new one coming out. This one doesn't look very modern.

ETA: Any idea when the new copy will come out? I'm thinking of using it in a group setting.

I think I need a couple dozen copies of that book, Beej. One for me and the other 23 for my daughter. (She loses things.)

Go with the grades, vw! Wh00t!!

Sail, you're being paged in F2F. Vortex is going through your neighborhood on short notice.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Hec! Quick question: Have either you (or Emmett) read Summerland, by Michael Chabon?

If not, you must. It's about baseball and the end of the world.

We have not, though I am aware of its existence and baseball focus.

What more can one ask for in a novel?

Zeppelins. There are also zeppelins.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And a pepper bar!

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

Wooo. Anne has apparently tapped into my psyche and revealed my lifelong obsession with Zeppelins.

Pepper bars are not necessary in fiction, though.

Jilli, Have you heard this Hannah Fury CD single?

In addition to the album versions of "Meathook" and "Love Today," the single includes a new song by Fury entitled "Angels & Absinthe," as well as her unique interpretations of Berlin's "The Metro," ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" and Daniel Johnston's "True Love Will Find You in the End."

I've got the Voltaire songs! Thanks, Jilli.
