It's difficult to love it as a whole, but yeah, certain parts and people I love. And then it does some dumb ass shit, and you just sort of shrug and go, "Well, that's Dallas"
ETA: What part are his friends in?
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Happy Birthday Anne!

Famously on Route 66. Sparky, I miss you already.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I got a phone call about an hour ago. Seems my- don't even know how to designate him, close friend, ex, partner in crime, guy you talk to once every 3 months but is still your best friend- is having an early mid-life crisis.
I find this, while I feel for him, HI-larious. See, he makes a lot of money at a good job with good stability, that most people would consider a pretty succesfull thing.
But, he doesn't know what he wants to do with his life.
Sometimes, the universe, she makes a funny.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Thanks for the good wishes all . I am almost dead and I needed fernet to take most of the pain out of my shoulders ( where I tend to store tension) . It was a good day - it feels like a good move, but tomorrow is going to be harder. 1) I have to be at work at 9. I rarely drive before 9 becasue I am not coherent. 2) this is a different branch of the library- so it is new job redux. the only part that feels really scary about this job is learning to do storytimes. and there is a plan in place and I won't actually be doing them on my own until may .

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
skip skip skip skim skiiiimWTF
...Pete's ass is chapless?
???
Um. That's...that's just very very wrong. Pete is dressed with dignity and aplomb at al times. Yes.
Um
Meanwhile, I must confess that the Daniel Radcliffe link (sp?) made me go 'huh' and then when I read the article I was all "Equus? Really? Are you up to that? That's going to involve actual ACTING." I hope he is. It would be nice if he could up his game a bit, actingwise. I think he's shown every evidence of being a very mediocre young actor so far, but he's only wee yet.
Um. Sorry. I actually feel a bit embarrassed at my utter lack of lechery.
fwiw, I did totally have a bad wrong reaction to Connor, back in the day, when he was all feralPeterPanboy. And the kid who played Peter Pan, for that matter, in the movie a couple of years ago? Um. Yeah. BAD wrong place. Bad. (But Peter/Hook...oh, God. It's so - I just - oh God. And his clothes were full of holes.)
But Daniel Radcliffe leaves me very meh.
(Meanwhile the prospect of disrobed Emma Watson makes me want to put some clothes on her and then slap her. Because, judging from the interviews I've seen involving her, she is a profoundly silly, self-conscious and affected little girl who is under the impression that she's Emma Thompson.)

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 Birthday, Anne! Even though it's after midnight so it's kinda late.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh yeah.
NB - I must thank Sean THANKS SEAN!!!! for mentioning A Song of Ice and Fire. I don't recall whether it was here or in Boxed Set or where, but it made me go and buy the first book in the series and I've been wolfing through it and now through the second. Bless you, young Sean! For lo, I had been pining for Good Engrossing Narrative To Get My Teeth Into, and had been sad that there was nothing in the bookshop to satisfy my yen. And now I have these books! Yay! (And perhaps then I'll try Tad Williams?)

Didn't he do a play in London over the summer that was pretty well-reviewed? I'm not sure -- all I really remember about it was that he got naked on stage every night. I was disturbed by the idea at the time but bless him, he does seem to be all grown up now.

Sing it. I saw some interview with the three of them in a wood-panelled room somewhere (no, I don't know why either) and I wanted to slap her in the face. She's easily the weakest link in GoF but you're right, she really does think she's Emma Thompson. And she does this fake-upper class thing with her jaw that makes me itch to reach through the screen and shake some sense into her.
