Hah! And here I am thinking of NIMH just because I'm all in DC and stuff. Who knew? It's been a very very long time since I've seen that movie (or read the book, for that matter).
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That was my favorite movie as a kid, and I was so psyched when I realized what the initials were for. (Living right down the road from NIH and all. I desperately wanted my mom to plant a rose bush in our yard.)

I never understood that change. I mean, of all the pointless things, you know? Unless they figured, well, we changed everything else, no point in leaving that one little detail intact.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm listening to the music drifting in my windows from the 10th Annual "Tree Frog Music Festival" about a mile from here.
Either Neil Diamond dropped in unannounced, or a good Neil Diamond impersonator has been singing for the last hour or so.

Must be a good faker. Diamond is scheduled to be singing in Portland, Oregon at the Rose Garden tonight.

Pot is such a parent-type thing. So very old skool and shit.
This says more about my parents than it does me.

My pot stash is under the oven with the casserole pan stash.
OH! THAT kind of pot.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I've never had to kill a mouse before. I've had to capture escaped hamsters and guinea pigs. And once I helped a neighbor get a badger out of her basement.
Then again, I'm weird about animals. In Wisconsin, I saw the freakiest ones every day. In Australia, where animals consider biology textbooks to be "what not to do" guidelines, I'm only seeing mosquitos and magpies. Not even one little spider.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
My first year after college I shared a house with four other women of the classes of '92 and '93. The place was mouse-infested, and somehow it happened that of the five of us, I was the least squeamish. This meant that I had to dispose of all the dead mice once the traps got them.
Should've faked the squeamishness better.

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.
Madrigal, in Australia, it's the spiders you don't see that cause the problems. Errr, maybe I shouldn't have said that.
Hugs and ~ma to all the Bitches.
Happy Birthday, Perkins.
I made her a pot roast two weeks ago.
But not in the "changed her into" sense.
I prefer beef, fish and poultry for my stews.
Methinks he doth protest too much. His mom left rather suddenly while I was at work the other week. Supposedly she left a note. But do I know it was really her handwriting? She left behind a surprising amount of her belongings....
