Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Cindy}}} Oh the bizarreness and scariness. Freaking smart kids doing unexplainable things
I love Eco. Name of the Rose hooked me (and these days reminds me of Sick Boy from Trainspotting and his lack of moral fibre), but Foucoult's Pendulum is the one that relly sticks in my brainpan. I've been slowly reading his later novels, and they are interesting and weird but do not inspire the OMG Loveof those first two. I honestly do not remember a lot of passages in other languages, but I'm quite good at skimming over things I don't understand.
Sorry about the fuel pump, Raq. Hope it is easy to acquire a working one.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And one of them is a first-generation USian with zero-generation parents, whose family went through the whole cultural influences and expectations balancing act as the kids grew up and made their way out into the world and who didn't end up all destroying each other. She's superhugely cool and I've been thinking about trying to do a bit of non-worky socializing with her anyhow, so she may possibly be available at some future point for venting and hairpats and "Been there, done that, came out the other side in one piece" advice. If you're interested.
Sure!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Matt has read both The Name of the Rose and the one I can't spell. He had a hard time with the second one, which is rare, but I think he thought it was worht it. I am another that never finished the name of the Rose. Got distracted part way thru I think

See, now I feel like I must make it through this book and not give up. The only book I can recall starting and not finishing is Interview with the Vampire.
Oh, that totally doesn't count, like, half the books for my English classes in college.

I have decided that it is the Ick's fault that I am watching Charmed. I used to really like the show, but it has gotten rather silly.

Because books.
Poor beth. Feel better. Charmed's silly factor should help.

I was going to say. Totally sounds like a Chiclet!
I have never read The Name of the Rose. I started it, like, a zillion years ago and got through maybe a chapter before putting it down. It's one of those books I always mean to go back to.
