Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's pretty big now because of the weight loss,

JZ's prone to using pretty clips in the back to make oversized sweaters and tops more fitted. Cheap and cute!

Cashmere socks are very luxurious, and relatively inexpensive for the amount of pleasure you can derive from them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've become such a 'schmere ho.

I read this and thought, Trudy must *really* like bagels...

{{{Trudy}}} I'm sorry for the asshat at Lord & Taylor. My boss is very much like that. I cringe every time I see her doing a return.

sillies. its not THEIR money. and most companies would rather keep a customer.

Alright, its all cold and snowing intermittently. sister and friends are having dinner and drinking in various places in hoboken. do I a) get my ass over there and join them for dinner; b) take a nap then grab a PATH train and join them for drinks; c) go to sleep and wake up next year?

what IS it about this holiday that makes me think I like to hang out in a noisy fucking bar? and ones with SMOKE (since we'll be on that side of the Hudson) for Pete's sake?

What is even happening?

do I a) get my ass over there and join them for dinner;
This. Then if the smoke in the bar gets to you, you can exit, after having had some fun together. If it doesn't bother you, you can make a big night out of it.

The hardest thing to do on this holiday is to live in it. Do it. For me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Watching Amelie this morning has inspired us to have a Francofun day. I think we'll be eating salad nicoise for late lunch, and burgundy and stinky cheese by evening. Accordion music is already playing. We could go down to Cafe Claude and get Lillet or some aperitif. Maybe check out the pretty French Catholic church nearby. (An ex commented on flavors of Catholocism thusly: "I prefer the French approach to Catholocism. They're not in it for the guilt; they're only in it for the beauty.")

It's good to have a theme for the day. It sharpens thiings up.

The Castro theater is showing Moulin Rouge tomorow too which could be a fun outing. I haven't seen it on a big screen since it came out. I think they've got a Busby Berkeley marathon going on today.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Write the letter Trudy. I went to JC Penny's to return something. No tag, but a reciept - they gave me a store credit/gift card - easy - peasy even though they had to go look at something or get a manager approval. but no big deal , no time - an even exchange should have been Easy......

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

All your Juliana are belong to me.

Yay!
