I had no interest in seeing ND (the movie) but my mom had rented it when I was visiting her so we watched it. She fell asleep. I spent about the first half hour scratching my head and feeling depressed for ND and his schoolmates. Then I realized that the filmmaker wasn't making fun of the characters (my fear during those first 30 minutes) but showing the heart and charm behind the geek exterior. By the time it was done, I really really liked it. Enough that I had GF watch it (who also liked it enough to buy the DVD). So, I am pro but I do think it's overrated.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lily's arm is really cute in that picture. I guess that sounds kinda weird, but it is cute!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Her arm still has traces of baby in that picture. Hints of plumpness. It's very much a little kid arm now.
It's amazing to me to look at the pics and realize, wow, I really have lost a bunch of weight between then and now. In addition to getting my hair chopped off.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thank you guys so much for the links to the articles on the dig! I was just able to use it in my discussion for class when someone said that the house slaves were the same as nannies and housekeepers today.
This has been a good school week.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, maybe the housekeepers and nannies on certain especially prurient eps of SVU, but otherwise? WTF?

And even there -- you're not legally allowed to rape and beat your housekeeper in modern American society. And if you do it anyway, she has legal rights to turn around and have you put in jail because you don't own her. Which is a pretty key distinction in my mind.

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

Uh huh.
I just got a free sample of the Weight Watchers Everything Pretzel Thins. I guess it's supposed to be all the stuff that's on an everything bagel, but I think they're forgetting that one component of both a pretzel and an everything bagel is salt. Unsalty pretzels = ick.
Also, I was just looking through the Weight Watchers book that tells the number of points in stuff from pretty much every chain restaurant, and a cheese quesadilla from Baja Fresh is 30 points. That's more than I'm supposed to eat in an entire day. Freaky. (And a vegetable burrito without sour cream, which I'd figured was a relatively healthy option, is something like 12 points.)

It's the tortilla, I bet -- I was browsing Chipotle's online nutritional info one day, and was amazed at the calorie difference between an otherwise identical burrito and burrito bol.
