Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

[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.

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

Feh on all the asshat bosses. Plus everything else everyone has already said.

(Our transit worker's union is threatening to strike. If they do....ugh. It will Not Be Pretty.)

My entire office is on high alert for Friday, in case there is a strike in NY and no one there can get into the office and all of the support work comes to us.

You know how I get started on daunting writing projects? I circle around them a lot. I write notes. I re-read improtant sections and highlight quotes. I fiddle with my citations. I do rough outlines. Then I might try a few topic sentences for my key paragraphs. So that by the time I had to Write The Paper it was already half done. A lot of it become stitching things together.

This is exactly how I was able to write my papers. I was always surprised when they came together.

Feh on all the asshat bosses.
Well you all know how much I love MY boss...

ION, I don't know what disturbs me more: that I found myself idly googling "monkey duffle bag" on ebay, or that ebay found me one. In pink, at that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Do what I do to get the dishes done: I talk myself into doing "just one pan" and then I end up sprinting through the rest of them before I can change my mind. Momentum is a wonderful thing.
This is actually very true for me as well. Even in the grips of the worst bits, if I can start on just one (for example) dish, I often get more done. Objects in motion and all...

Me: "Oh, yeah. Probably best to volunteer."

This is how I am managing to get dinner done tonight. I made the salad when I got home, read here for a bit, and then I just put the pot of water on the boil for pasta set up the food processor to make the spinach pesto. Next, I am going to slowly clear off the table in between posts and then make the pesto closer to when Dave will actually be here. Long way of saying, I guess I have the skills, but I need to learn to apply them better to school. Getting that first little bit started is always the hardest thing for me.

I'm not as good with the proactive bits like cooking, but I can sometimes talk myself into washing one glass and end up with actual clean dishes. This has not segued into my laundry so far though.

Just an idle thought...

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

Aimee-- I forget what thread you asked this in, but, yeah, we do post on Craig's list. You know any Spanish translators?
