Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

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

Amazing. Just amazing.

Enough to turn you into a jesus freak.

Oh no, Poor Wendy. Her poor daughter-- the daughter can't be very old.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Drat. I grew up going to her plays.

Oh, my God. She's always been one of my favorite playwrights. That's so sad.

I'm already a freak. That ought to be good enough.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's great news about your boss, Steph. I'm glad he's beating the odds. I also think that if anyone at your company buys a lotto ticket anytime soon it should be him. 'Cause wow.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wow! I loved her. And I director I worked with at UR often worked as her assistant director, so I hope he is doing OK.

That rocks about Big!Boss!

I'm so sad for Wasserstein's family and friends. Her daughter's about 10? Not even? "The Heidi Chronicles" was the main reason I got into playwriting - before WW, I thought only men could write plays.

ION, I was just reading this article [link] on the fake rock that the Brits were using in Russia for spy stuff, and am amused by:

British intelligence once had a specialist in camel dung, Mr. Mendez said, who crafted realistic facsimiles matched to country and species.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Oh. V. saddened by the Wasserstein news.

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

I saw Uncommon Women and Others in the PBS production in 1978. My first exposure to Meryl Streep, Swoosie Kurtz and Jill Eikenberry. And Wendy Wasserstein. Though it was set in 1970, it was still a very accurate portrait of what I would experience at college. I remember being surprised of the use of James Taylor and Winnie the Pooh as recurring motifs. That's very sad for Wendy to die so young.

Oh, man. Swoozie Kurtz as Rita. Heh. "I've tasted my menstrual blood!" "Oh, gross me out, Rita!"

I attended the same church as Swoozie Kurtz for a number of years, and every time I saw her that line ran through my head.
