I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

[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.

I am going to try to sleep, but I don't expect to have much success. Night, Bitches!

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 hope so too, beth.

Can I be stalky and ask if there are any pictures of your haircut around? Because it would be totally different on me (damn your thick and minding curls) but there are bits that I would like to be able to point to when I whack my hair off soon.

Thanks!

I seem to have trouble getting "I want it to fall here DRY and curled" across. I am hoping pictures help.

5 a.m.? He so needs a new job. I remember those things for nights like Y2K, not just a Friday...

mostly he needs a new job because there is no recognition that he does this kind of thing on a regular basis. He had to force his bosses into ok his monday off - with out counting it against vaction or sick. but one day they will lose him and they will cry.

If he had recognition and was compensated and felt appreciated then I wouldn't feel all SMASH! about it. Unless you did, but then I would just be supporting a friend and not feeling like it was a cosmic injustice. They are going to be tearing their hair out when Matt leaves and I am going to sit back and smile watching the chaos.

The Wallybee... likes opera!! CAN OUR LOVE SURVIVE?!?

Opera is wondrousness set to music! Snark and violence and forbidden love and kickass music!

Avoid the Wagner, though. I tend to fall asleep during German operas. Puccini rocks the house.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Puccini rocks the house.

Amen. So do Mozart, Rossini, and Donizetti. Some of Rossini's and Donizetti's stuff can be very funny indeed, and now that many opera houses have surtitles running, it's so much easier to follow what's going on.

Our wings are not tired.

Odd Laura opera history. I lived with the Miami opera people for a year when DH#2 was apprenticing with them. (1985) They owned an apartment building where we all stayed in Coconut Grove downtown. My neighbors and roomies were the most fun evah. Parties non stop. They vocalized constantly, in the pool, in the laundry room, in the parking lot. Unreal the tones that came out of these kids.

The head costume designer made my wedding dress. Oh it was stunning. But that’s another story.

I went to countless rehearsals and classes, but never saw a performance. I attended Stephen’s performances, but he was in their Broadway series not the opera series. All the glorious opera I have seen live was performed in shorts and flip flops. At the time I didn’t even think about snagging real performance passes.

The folly of youth.
