You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

[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.

Thanks, everyone. You are all too good to me. I can't accept the good things you are trying to say about me today, so I will just say thank you.

We're all out. I'm thinking some mint chocolate chip ice cream :)

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

I'm glad it wasn't layoff and out the door. As awkward as it is working here right now, I really need the time to marshall my jobhunting resources.
This sounds better for you then, Spidra. But, damn, those people are just insensitive asshats whose rudeness is just boggling.

This publisher has a history as a small business before it was sold to a big corporate publisher. Some of the people here date from that founding period and some of the corporate culture still reflects that.
That explains a lot possibly.

Robin, feel better. Jammies and fluffy tv have proven health benefits.

Perkins will go anywhere there are penguins.
She's not the only one. IJS.

The house next to me is for sale. $825,000 for 2 bed/1 bath and 1,000 sq ft. There is a wee apartment in the back which probably adds $150K to sale price. Yeah, I'm thinking moving is a good thing.

However organizing continues to be a pain in my back. And arms. And neck. My ass is too padded to be pained by this.

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

HMOG am tired. Still, not sick, so I count my blessings.

vw is making me hungry. This has resulted in what might be good food cooking or a massive culinary mistake. I'll know as soon as it browns up.

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

mmmmmm.... Jen's Ass.... sighhhhhh.....

(it is intersting when you're out with Cass and some guy oggles her ass. on the one hand it's "hey, buddy, eyes back in the sockets" on the other, you sorta can't blame him)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Robin, stay warm and cozy.

Spidra, sorry to hear that people suck.

Aimee and Sean, there's a Polish pastry shop in Santa Monica on Wilshire. I've never been there, but my friends say it's yummers. On second thought, it might be a Polish sausage shop, but I think it's pastry.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

New Zealand; California. Exotic place to visit; place that I might actually get to. Hmm. I think you need to stay in California. Unless you want to head north to Alaska. Alaska is good. And after the Bay Area, you might actually think housing prices here are reasonable.

Notice how Toronto never even comes into the picture?

And I got 105, but I think I might have to argue a bit about librarianship and information technology. New Zealand is kind of tempting, but I whine because it takes $500 and a day's travel to visit family now, so I think the additional distance might be a deal-breaker.

In non-travel related news, Episcopalians are so boring. How do we manage to turn Mardi Gras into a pancake supper?

Librarian Warlord

I think I might have to argue a bit about librarianship and information technology

I thought about that, too, and then noticed that "university lecturer" is listed, and, Ding! I won the points prize.

The talk of chocolate (excluding the mint chocolate chip ice cream, b/c I don't understand why people want ice cream that tastes like toothpaste) and Polish sausage is making me hungry.
