It wasn't so much the money as the obsessiveness of it. But I'm a completist, so it goes with the territory.

[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.

Poor Kristin! This is just ridiculous!
I skipped. Sorry, loves, but I've barely got computer time right now with the no laptop thing. How is everyone?
I'm trying to do math, but way too tired and can't think. It's no fun.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Bleeargh! I tried to record Filter, and it didn't work because the time ON THE TV was wrong. I'll have to catch the repeat tomorrow.

I just watched Filter. No Joe.
Dammit.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I went to a baby shower with a MONKEY theme today. I swear, some of my real life friends here could be buffistas.
My gift was a Curious George soundtrack and red monkey Robeez.
I've never ever just ran into a celebrity of any calibre so I don't know how I'd react. But I think it would be weird to be in line with somebody famous doing something as mundane as buying toilet paper at Costco or paint at Lowes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dollars to donuts your thought would be "Huh. Short."

I was just reminded that my L.A. friend M saw somebody amazing at her neighborhood Lowe's.
Why can't I remember who it was? (My faulty memory wants to say Johnny Depp but that couldn't POSSIBLY be right, could it?)
On edit: Not Johnny Depp - - Sean Penn and they were looking at the same things at the store (can't recall - light fixtures? Something you buy at Lowe's) and he was not shorter than she expected but taller. . . and better looking.

Heh. I've run into 2 celebrities in airports: Prince at LAX and Al Yankovich in the Madison airport. Prince blew by with his entourage before we even barely realized who it was. Wierd Al was just standing there talking to someone and my daughter recognized him. I, like a big dumb "mother knows best" party pooper said, no it's not. The news that evening proved me wrong and my daughter, of course, rubbed it in.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
If I ran into someone famous, the likelyhood that I would recognize them is low.
