Or maybe the honor will belong to no one.
No one = everyone else? I see you're in a koan kind of mood tonight. The Zen of beth.
Mal: You know, you ain't quite right. River: It's the popular theory.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[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.

Perkins asked the right question ( in another thread at another time)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I can't get on AIM, Steph, but I still want to hear about it. Later perhaps
Later, indeed. Definitely. But my computer just turned its clock back, which means I need to go to bed. I'm totally beat.

Gris in love! Zmayhem hotness! Hec posting kitten pictures! Teppy having weird fun!
Bitches is a good place right now.
Mal is loving the flash pumpkin carving. I have set him down to play drums on the floor while I make pancakes.

It is very silly to stay out of a warm bed for a thread turn over.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
it's all well and good to burn out a thread but then you, like, need a new one

Hey Raq. How're Mal's drum chops? Jazzy or more of a glam rock vibe?

Mal could join the band that is playing somewhere in our neighborhood...
mmm... pancakes

We've got a band up the street ourselves. They're called "As We Fail." Actually their drummer is pretty good; not real fond of the rest of their talent.
Mal's got a jazz syncopation. This drum thing is new; mostly he's Mixmaster Mal, DJing with one hand on his Mozart cube and sampling in animal noises from his other toy.
I'm helping the DH with his homework, which has taken me to the Canada Nuclear FAQ page...which has as its logo a beaver, holding a Canadian flag, sitting on not a log, but a bundle of reactor rods. [link]
It's too early to be this surreal.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Damn, it's such a TONIC to have half an hour or so to plough through this thread. I mean, I know I missed a gazillion posts, but still, the several hundred I just read have me brimming with bitchlove. Bless you all.
Thoughts:
Gris = Adorability on Toast. Gershwin Girl is the OTN, although StrawGirl is also lovely, and gives me a very L Frank Baum mental image of her.
Curry = generally yummy. Although there's such a vast array of different foods that fall under that name - comparing a Korma or a Passanda to a Rogan Josh or a Patia or a Biriani...damn, now I miss Britain. Not enough Curry Houses in Egypt.
Thai Curry = possibly even yummier than 'regular' curry. I prefer combinations of flavours - I just adore the juxtaposition of sweet'n'sour, hot'n'sour, salt-sweet, bittersweet, all that jazz. Cookies that don't contain a hefty pinch of salt to balance out the sugar leave me very meh. I put cinnamon and cocoa in my Chilli. Thai Curry is teh yum.
Eggs - generally a good thing, although occasionally unexpectedly evil.
Gothic!Em = Teh Cute. Bless.
The Family Von Zmayhem = highly photogenic and impeccably turned out, cunning hats et al.
Kittens = epitome of cuteness.
Evidently I need to find Erika's interview asap.
In the world of me, I decided to try and lose weight, and have been actively pursuing said goal for 3 weeks now. I'm looking at a long term plan of a year or more of actively attempting to lose weight. It's rather exciting - I can't remember the last time I genuinely felt motivated like this (although there have been occasional half-hearted bursts of 'I should lose weight' from time to time, as distinct from 'I'm going to lose weight'). I've even joined a gym, although with no intention, at this juncture, of doing anything more intimidating than a half hour or so on a treadmill. (I'm planning to concentrate on making the Gym a Not Scary Place for a while, before trying to do anything intense.) And I'm going Scottish Country Dancing every week, which is fun. I also joined the Cairo Choral Society a month or two ago, and I'm really enjoying the challenge of trying to learn how to sing (not to mention reading sheet music and singing in Latin - we're doing Beethoven's Mass in C, which is fabulous). School is still fun - my colleagues are v. nice. Right now 3 good friends live in our building and another lives a few houses away on our street and a fabulous new deli/coffeeshop place has opened a scant few yards away from our building - it's becoming surprisingly like 'Friends', with our very own Central Perk.
Love you lot. Miss you.
