Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[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.
Happy Birthday, Betsy!
I am watching this week's Dr Who. It's my second episode, and I'm thinking it's not really for me. But I'm giving it a shot. The Doctor's voice reminds me so much of my friend who lives in Salford, it's eerie.
d, definitely not the best in the series. I'm over the moon for it, though. Christopher Eccelston rocks my world.
Day's report. Bec is now married. She looks very happy (there were pics). She wore a turquoisey dress, which looked very nice, but she got the makeup job from hell. She'd gone in for eyelash tinting, her regular wasn't there, the replacement let it run and stain her face. Then she rubbed Bec's face raw trying to get it off. She got married looking like the groom had backhanded her or something. (Of course, being Bec, this is falling into the 'look back and laugh' category, but I think she was pretty pissed off at the time.)
I got her the Roomba for a wedding pressie. It was well received, and it seems to be something of a hit with the dogs too.
I went over to Wallybee's for lunch today, met a couple of her friends. Well, one wasn't a friend per se, he started hanging around the Wallybee after he discovered she had a useful social contact. Then I introduced her to the joy of Google image searching, and thereby to the joy of puffins! (She checked out her dictionary, and discovered that the Chinese characters for 'puffin' mean 'big-beaked sea swallow'.) Naturally, hilarity ensued.
All in all, a good day!
She's just the luckiest girl, that Wallybeee.
I love getting the Wallybee reports. I need some schmoop in my life, even if it is vicarious.
Poor Bec! I hope they didn't charge her for that or comped her in some way. As for pictures, photoshop!
I think it has worked out well.
Yeah, it's a good thing, too. Cuz I really don't want to have to have a custody battle over my cats, when I suspect Harvey would tell the judge he wants to stay with you, and then Sammie would say she wants to stay with Harvey.
Happy Birthday, Betsy
(was her birthday Saturday, or is it today?)

Oof, poor Bec. That's horrible. I'm glad she's able to find the humor in it, and that she looks happy. I wish them well and would say "the best" if I weren't so pedantic. :) I guess I can say I wish her the best possible, which, you know, is still good, it's just not best. *cough* t /pettier-than-thou-ever-thoughtest-of-being
A Roomba is a wonderful wedding present from the World's Best Ex. Seriously billytea, I'm so glad that there is still warmth between the two of you, and I hope Bec and her husband find joy, together. She's had a rough few years of it, too.
Billytea is indeed the best ex ever. I wish for even an iota of that warmth between Dave and me. Right now, not looking likely.
{{{{{{{{{{Kristin, bt, their exes, and their current loves}}}}}}}}}} may you all find the health and joy and love you need for each day as it comes along.
Civility with the ex is often a good thing, but it often isn't possible until quite a long time after the parting. I'm sorry this has to be so hard Kristin.
Eeeek, poor Bec.
The Wallybee Schmoop is most excellent Schmoop.
Ah, Sunday. Before I am banished to schoolwork/reading, a few notes on the weekend so far:
1) I just made a delicious asparagus soup for lunch. We will grill lamb tonight. LAMB!
2) we were supposed to grill lamb last night, but we got sucked into a neighbor's housewarming party for 4 and a half hours, so we ate Trader Joe's mushroom in filo appetizers instead, at 10pm.
3) met many neighbors and potential Salem-ites at aforementioned party, and had a nice time.
4) I am going to make a mint sauce for the lamb which appears to contain only fresh mint, vinegar, and sugar. Interesting.
5) I do not want to do any schoolwork FOR REALS
6) Tom is doing gardening stuff, and I even helped with trying to tie up and prune the yew bushes in the back into submission. They are so sketchy looking, sigh.
