That's an adorable photo, Raq.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
How was the rest of your b-day?
It was great. I hadn't wanted anyone over, but Joe decided this was not acceptable and ND, Kristin and Seany came over. Kristin made me a chocolate cake with PINK strawberry icing. It was great.
Family leRaq is GORGEOUS!

Up with the sun
Aww, Mallory looks like his daddy. How cute.
vw, ugh on the landlord thing. I wouldn't necessarily be upset about it to the writing-letters-of-complaint point, but I would definitely call them and make it very clear not to do it again.
Fay, I'm glad you'll at least get paid, but gosh, that would knock ANYONE for a loop. I hope you don't have to go 12 months without teaching.

And he was absolutely correct! Yay for friends and cake!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On the plus side - conceivably a lot more time to work on my novel.
Life may be subsidizing your art in a sneaky fashion. For which I say: Go Life! I hope it all pans out such that in a year's time you reflect on the year and say, "Yeah, that worked out pretty damn well."
Scrappy, JZ was indeed delighted and verklempt at receiving her pink bike. She wasn't totally shocked though since she'd read the board. But I did need to bounce it off folks before I pulled the trigger.
Susan, who's your new pitcher? He sounds daunting. Speaking of which, Vlad crushed us with a grand slam last night. If you're lucky enough to go 0-2 to Vlad with the bases loaded, I think it's pretty fucking obivous that you throw the next four pitches in the dirt because he will chase them. You certainly don't throw anything within a foot and a half of the strike zone. Guy's a freakin' monster. (which I say with great respect. I wish we had a monster like that.)

What is even happening?

Goober. This is what filtered LJ entries are for.

Always Anti-fascist!
as opposed to the stingy fashion preferred by, as Ms. Ivins might say, "The U.S. guvmint." ETA: That was about supported art. Go me. I'm Mapplethorpe, with fewer pissy crucifixes!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, vw, I would be furious. Letter-writing furious but then my home is very very private and I don't like people in it. People I haven't invited less so.
Fay, I am glad that you will be paid for the contract but not sure how to feel about the rest. Um, yes, more writing time maybe.
I should really look for silver linings where I can.
I'm all agronk today.

Oh my. At least it wasn't a "Richard".
