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.

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

Congrats on getting published again, erikaj!

In less exciting, but still happy-making-for-me news, I'm finally getting a new sofa. Or rather, a sofa period, since it isn't replacing an old one. It'll be delivered this Friday. I can finally invite multiple localistas over and have a place for them to sit that isn't the floor.

Eggs-and-bacon: Beej, when I clicked on the link, I was told there were no photos in that collection.

Compassionately intolerant

Thanks Calli, I'm off to fix it.

ETA: Try this link for the photos.

ETAA: Huh, the link goes to the unedited version of the collection, without captions or effects. Some of the pics are weirdly pixelated. I'll have to fix that too.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

man, pregnancy makes you gassy; not enough of the books warn you sufficiently about that

Oh, cripes. Sorry, I should have warned you about that.

Because books.

Yay, erika! Is this the House essay being published?

Truer words were never spoken.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, the exciting part is that it's a bit of fiction...that has been my New Year's resolution for two years. Not quite like creating a person, though, by any means.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

JZ, invest in a good propeller, strap it to your ass and fly to work.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

A Zmayhemsprog! Wheeeee! You know this means absolutely everyone is going to invade your space and pat your tummy, JZ. Be prepared.

erika, congratulations on getting published, again! Soon, you'll be taking over the publishing world with Deb.

I have no eep or gronk, but my full sympathies are with Nora this morning. My daughter had to kick her roommate out today and she was very angsty over it. But, she warned him what the conditions were and he broke them. When you set boundaries, ya gotta stick to them. I've been reassuring her since last night that she did the right thing. I'm very proud of her because this is a place where she's had issues in the past. I hope your friend listens to you and really hears what you have to say.

What? Where? When? Details, woman.
