Thanks, Tom. I love the satellite maps.
I want to live in New York. Silly MiL. Why couldn't the job offer had been there?
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

[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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Most of Alphabet City is a long hike to any subway stop, and traditionally was one of the skankiest parts of Manhattan, although that has changed a lot in the last decade.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Why couldn't the job offer had been there?
Because the publishing industry here has run out of money.
(Not that I'm bitter about it...it's not like E wants to get paid...)

You know 17 cats in a single family home -- of say 3 bedrooms would be ALOT of cats.
17 cats in an apartment?
No, I can't imagine.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It's also where "Rent" was set.
ION, argh. My rice cooker seems to be broken, and I don't have enough pots to make rice and the rest of dinner at once.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Deb's got something like 13 in her & Nic's flat, but she's also one of the best housekeepers I've ever met. There's taking care of a lot of animals, and then there's living like one. I think this lady (if the ad's real), is in the second category.

There's a good chance that someone's reported her to the Health and/or Animal Control departments by now.

I loved the part about not disturbing the cats sleeping on the bed.

Because books.

Oh yeah. So you can pay $400 a month to squeeze onto a bed five cats think is theirs. And brush the cat litter off yourself in the morning.

I don't believe the crazy catlady is for real. But I've been wrong before.
ion, I am posting this from my bedroom in a hotel in Luxor on the banks of the Nile. This morning I was in the Valley of the Kings, and visiting the Collosi of Memnon. This evening I watched the sun set over the Nile and the moon rise over Karnak - third time I've been to the Sound and Light show at Karnak temple, and tacky and silly as it is, the place itself still kills me dead. Just - overwhelming. Awesome in the literal sense - makes me cry, takes my words away. I couldn't talk. Man.
anyway, must get some sleep 'cause we're up in five hours to go do more stuff, but just wanted to check in, offer punctuation to any that need it and say OMG my life doesn't suck.
Also, apparently there's an actor from Days of Our Lives staying in the hotel. Astonishingly orange tan and pinged the gaydar with his appearance, but that was before we knew he was an actor - I guess all bets are off. He played Tony DiMera, apparently. If that means anything to you? And he was in The Valley of the Kings today when we were there. My American friends were doing a lot of squeeing.
