You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

What is even happening?

vw recently bought a text book on e-Bay, Hil. It was a little bait-and-switchy, though. The cover pictured on e-Bay was the same as the edition the class was supposed to buy. When the book arrived, it was a foreign (UK, maybe?) edition, I think--at any rate, it was somewhat different.

vw, what happened with that, anyhow? Was the substance of the text the same? Also and completely unrelated, did Emily get a pillow?

A few of my students bought grey-market calculus books from India to save money. I'm not sure exactly how they bought them, though.

Probably through half.com. I know Emily got one this way.

I got my Biology textbook on ebay for $74, as opposed to the $130 it was in the bookstore. You can get a lot of textbooks on Amazon as well, which helps.

Thanks, Raq!

Turned out I did get the US edition, so it was all okey dokey.

Emily did not get a pillow. I may run to LnT today and try there. We weren't thrilled with the selection and BB&B.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm pretty sure the one I got at Linens -n- Things (the lnt link in that email) is the same one a few Bitches have.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Sumi - I probably could, but I will have to take the class eventually, so I might as well hold on to it.

OK, total change of topic. A ways back folks were posting shoe-porn and I missed out on asking for pointers to cool silver strappy shoes. Anyone have anything???

Yeah. And I think that's what she really wants. So, I'll probably head out and get it for her when I run my errands today.

Yay, VW!

I still have most of my textbooks. I considered getting my copy of Critical Reasoning: [link] autographed, but that's because one of the writers was a prof I adored rather than because of the book itself.

I have dried apple. Now I just need to dry some other fruits, put them all in brandy for a bit, and then put them into fruitcake. Yay!
