Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yay, Stephanie and family!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hooray for Family Stephanie! What good news to start the day with!

Yay for Stephanie, Joe and Ellie!

From TV Guide Online:

Just a week before its premiere, Atom Egoyan's Where the Truth Lies has been fanny-slapped with an NC-17 rating, largely due to its depiction of an explicit three-way sex scene between Kevin "In Wild Things You Saw My" Bacon, Alison Lohman (White Oleander) and Colin Firth (the Bridget Jones movies). "It was so close [to getting an R rating," a defeated Egoyan tells the New York Daily News. Having had his appeal for an R denied by the MPAA, the director now will reinsert a lesbian scene that previously had been cut. So there.

runs off to stand in line for tickets.

Looks good, vw! A couple nitpicks:

As we had discussed in May

is probably better as "As we discussed in May"

and

My attached updated resume provides additional detail

"My attached resume has been updated to provide additional detail" reads less awkwardly to me.

Content is great.

Mostly lurking...

Thanks, Raq! I'm gonna send it off shortly. Eek! I'm nervous about this one. I'd really like it, as it wouldn't require that I use my Federal Work Study (I don't think)...so, it would be more steady. Plus, it's in my field of study, which would also be good and helpful.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Last night, I guess following Teppy's dream about Lilybean & Susan's about Annabel, I dreamt that I drove to Louisiana to rescue the latter two (dream geography prevailing, of course). Annabel was perfectly lucid and articulate, and helped me devise our escape plans, but warned me not to let her mother know, otherwise she'd send her to school early and *that* sounded like a drag.

OK, that's hilarious, especially given that I've been stressing about her non-verbality again! She turned 17 months this week, and the 6th of every month is now the time where I freak out over her lack of talking, what might be causing it, etc. I really shouldn't have watched Letterman last night, for example--hearing Gwyneth Paltrow go on about the cute things 16-month-old Apple says didn't help me at all.

I'ma say it over here, too: Yay, Stephanie!!!

What is even happening?

I really shouldn't have watched Letterman last night, for example--hearing Gwyneth Paltrow go on about the cute things 16-month-old Apple says didn't help me at all.

Wait'll she learns to say, "What the hell were you thinking when you named me Apple?"

I know you always get to hear the stories about kids who didn't talk until "late," Susan, but one more: My boss' son said not one thing until he was 26 months old. Then, one evening, he walked into the dining room and announced that he did not want to eat supper.

Mal (not talking) has learned to razz. He wants to crawl so badly, and was on his tummy, arms and legs going furiously and not getting anywhere, and suddenly he started razzing. We figure he thinks he's added an outboard motor.
