To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I didn't find out if her water broke or not. I guess I am going to bed and calling Mom first thing in the morning. I just really wanted to know that the baby was born and what her name is before I did.

Tomorrow, I get to learn how to use my school's website and get my password and such, so I really should sleep.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

It's times like these that I realize how wrong my little pea-sized brain can be sometimes.

It's always so amazing to me how many people we touch, even though it sometimes doesn't feel like we do. I'm glad this part of your brain is in check, vw.

eta: Way to go, Plei!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Tanuki generally comes in to visit me when I am having a bath. Twice as a kitten she joined me. Once walking across my knees - and the other MUCH MORE TRAUMATIC time -- falling into the water.

Heh. The time that The Cat Daniel fell into the bath is still enshrined in memory as one of the funniest things EVER. Happily I was not in the bath at the time. Then there was the time I was in the bath and he fell in - that was less fun, but somehow he levitated back off me and out of the bath without too much bloodshed. The number of near-misses is just ridiculous.

That they're buggers is kinda awesome.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't slash the Cats of Reason!

Yay for VW, careful hugs for P-C, congratulatory cake and streamers for Plei & the comic chicks and punctuation for all those who need it.

Another day, another dead cockroach. YAY. Although, to be fair, dead ones are just icky - it's the living ones that are truly scream-inducing, because of the possibility that they might touch you (in which case the sky would fall, the seas would run red, cats would mate with dogs, it'd be a whole End of The World deal). The dead ones, nsm an issue with the jumping and skittering. Insh'allah.

Unless it's just pretending.

...hmm. Meanwhile, I'm off to have a bath, hoping that I managed to get most of the poison out of it. Cause poison? Not my favourite bath salt. No sir.

Oooh, also?

HAPPY TEPPYDAY!!!!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

HAPPY TEPPYDAY!!!!

I second that emotion.

Please don't kill me for that, I'm doped up on valerian root, and can't sense make.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Awesome, Plei. And I say that with all awesomeness.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And I say that with all awesomeness.

'Cuz you're made of awesome!

Except for your shoulder, which seems to be made of string cheese and possibly a jello-shot in lieu of cartilage. Stupid shoulder!

In less good news for EM, the ToC tournament is not actually in Berkeley, but rather Concord. So she gets to spend her weekend driving Emmett to not one, but two entirely different Cities of The Tri-Tip, which are not particularly close to each other.

Actually, I don't think we'll have enough players available for the ToC thingie. We've got about six now, and Eian and Jallah are unavailable.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, get this: according to Google Trends, Melbourne is the city which conducts the second-most searches on the word 'love'. The city which does the most is Philadelphia. It's all about the 'tea!

More vitally, Melbourne also ranks second in searches for 'penguin'! Only sixth when it comes to 'echidna'. (Canberra rates 4th.) And 3rd for 'mole rat'!

I wish I could split out how much of that is, well, me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I wish I could split out how much of that is, well, me.

I have to think it's a significant portion. I'd say you may be personally responsible for a full quarter of the mole rat searches.
