Hi. I skipped. How are people, and can I get in on the ep trading?
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ghost Whisperer update: I still don't know what happened in the previouslies but I can report that Love has Loretta Lynn hair.
ETA: Perkins, as soon as I figure out how to work this, I'm sure we can make arrangements.

Woohoo!
(err, that was on the arrangements, not the Loretta Lynn hair.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm wondering if it's more normal in black circles, or Jamaican ones, or what. It surprises me that it's a deal for anyone, and I'm wondering where I got this acculturation.
Rent parties used to be fairly common back in certain bohemian circles.

We had one once. It was kind of a bust.

Because books.
The only party I've ever been to that involved money was a friend who was going to order in food for everyone -- she had drinks and things to nosh, and a menu, and just asked everyone to kick in a small amount to cover ordering the food, which seemed reasonable.
The flat $10 at the door thing seems weird to me, too.
If the Charlaine Harris books are the ones I'm thinking of (the blurb about the waitress and the brand-new love of her life who is tragically undead makes me think they are), then meh indeed.
I couldn't even finish the first one. Her writing seemed really flat to me, even though I thought the characters might be fun. Maybe some decent actors will make them more interesting.
Does Oxygen show Ever After *every* Friday night? I swear this is like the fourth week in a row I've flipped past it.

ita, is it a bad thing when bruises itch? If today's bruise weren't limited to my big toe, I think it would be as impressive as some of yours, but it itches.

This is totally not a rent party. This is my former boss, who is a professional woman in her 40s. She owns her own home and doesn't need to worry about covering her mortgage.

Perkins, itching around a wound usually indicates that you're healing.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thanks for the happies, everyone.
I have discovered that Bob Marley is the perfect music to listen to while working on a production of Oliver at a jewish community center. Who knew?
And I can report that B&J's Dublin Mudslide ice cream is teh YUM!
Perkins, I've had bruises that I only discovered because they itched. They seemed to heal at about the same rate as any other bruise.
Oh, and btw... You Rock!
