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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've gotten seriously invested in the Gordon Ramsey show - I think what I like in reality shows is seeing people actually working at their craft and learning their jobs during the show. And there's the entertainment factor of the truly clueless trying to cook under fire. On one show, after screaming at people, he took the winning team out for a meal and was as nice as could be to them. Told one person to call him "Gordon" rather than "Chef".

Art Crawl!!!
Oh yes. Hell's Kitchen. I've been watching that nicely balanced with Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
The contestants on HK are just so lacking in talent. Any one of the people from Top Chef are better than most of the people on HK.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Go Team Emmett! Clearly he did a Good Thing. I remain somewhat uncertain as to the precise nature of the Good Thing, but am content to remain ignorant, clutching the salient piece of information to my chest - he done good.
Right, well to put it in more fannish terms, the evil army of Orcs had his plucky band trapped and in desperate straits and there was little hope left. But wait! His plucky band did not give up, and by dint of their tenacity created one tiny chance for surviving. Emmett then did rise up and do something not merely Pretty Good but genuinely Mighty. The orcs did fall into darkness and were vanquished and lo, the dawn did fall brightly on a free land and there was much rejoicing!
Also, Fay, your hyphenated phone company outrage is stretching the frame wide.

Awww, Emaryn looks just right on horseback.
Tep, I'm particularly digging GothKitty and the Mermaid in your pictures.

I've got the Nigella love, also. And her hips and thighs from cooking like her, but not the boobies, darn it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't want to go to work. There are people there, and work, and I don't wanna.

Love love love nigella. I love that she is completely upfront about her lack of training and that her qualifications are as an eater, not a cook!

The horse camp pictures are great.

Always Anti-fascist!
(Loving Hec's "translation". My visit was too short...I really wanted to meet him. Not in a creepy single-person-hanging-out-in-the-park way.) One day, must attempt to grok baseball, but will have to start from "strikes bad. Tree pretty." so intimidated, I have to say.
