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.
What else are good Life List entries?
Raq, I keep pimping this to everybody I can think of who travels a lot, hoping that one of you will be able to try this, in case I never get it crossed of my Life List (which has far more entries that crossed off accomplishments):
Circumnavigate the globe! Actually, meara's done it now, hasn't she? Still, it's very good company to be in.
I guess I just love the idea of picking a direction and going that way until you come back to where you started.
Tons of fabulous offer~ma, Nora.
I don't want to go to the dentist.
For Life Lists, I really highly recommend the book No Opportunity Wasted, by Phil Keoghan. (Yes, that Phil. The book is full of adorably Philly goodness, and there's a picture of him on the cover. Which is adorable.)
There's also a website, which is mostly about the TV show he had, briefly, based on his NOW philosophy.
t resists urge to spell it PHILosophy, because there are limits even to my dorkitude
Much offer~ma, Nora!
A Life List is such a cool idea. Maybe I should have one.
My cat has circumnavigated the globe. He went from Romania to Malaysia to San Francisco to DC to Greece. Just a couple more miles eastward and he'll have done it exactly.
Offer~ma, Nora! You deserve a great one.

t joins Jess in uberdorky Phil love
I've been thinking a lot about Phil lately, particularly with the whole climbing above the light grid thing I did last week. He was on a local radio station recently talking about TAR, and his book, and talked about how getting rid of your fears isn't really normal, or usually possible, but confronting and overcoming fear is something he rocommends highly. He also talked about how that's really what The Race is about in a lot of ways (as well as communicating and working together), and that just about every team in every Race has had to confront some kind of fear or another, and that he's always astounded at the myriad effects this has had on the teams in the Race.
That is one well travelled cat. But does he have a passport, like Misha and Vitya?
Ask her what she wore to the exam, though. Decidedly UN-academic, IMO.
I think it was the last time she was allowed to dress like that.
I was thinking about that recently also, although I didn't know who Phil was until I just clicked Jess' link. Mainly I was thinking that it's more impressive to be brave than to be fearless.
My DH really really needs that book, although if I gave it to him I'd hear all these reasons why he couldn't do any of that.
Ooh, I'd forgotten about that book, and I need a b-day present for a friend who's a big fan. Thanks, all.
(This is my friend C, who had her pic taken with Phil at a book signing or something. She emailed it to her family, and found out the next time she went to visit that her grandma had it posted on the fridge and was telling everyone that it was her boyfriend.)
