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.

Bitches? We're going to need a new title soon. I mentioned in B'crxy, but no one bit.

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

Okay. Here's what the random generator gave me...

Spike: We got a history, him and me.
Fred: What?
Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole--
Fred: My God you're so full of crap.
Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Spike's Bitches 35: So Full of Crap

Spike's Bitches 35: Yeah. Okay.

...and now the Buffybot gives me:

"I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!"

I kind of love this typo. That's what the Bitches are, man...a buncha Sinsisters.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I like Kristin's too!

Um, yeah. When a trained professional, someone who does this for a living and spends her workdays conferring with other professionals, expects her professional judgment to be given a certain amount of weight (very different from that "best and only" bullshit), that's just irrational. The very word

This! This is what is completely batshit insane to me. I mean I don't ask my lawyer friends for advice (which they are giving for free because they're good guys), and then turn around and say "But no! I said I wanted to sue them! You're not telling me how to sue them! You're telling me my case isn't well founded and I may have to seek other recourse!" Because they would then think I was craxy and no longer be my friends. And if they did think I had the special fruit loops and so decided not to dispense anymore advice, I wouldn't come back with, "You just don't want to give me advice anymore because I won't do things YOUR way! It's totally not because I'm batshit insane with the wanting to sue all the time!"

I would not do any of that because that is not how rational adults act.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

When a trained professional, someone who does this for a living and spends her workdays conferring with other professionals, expects her professional judgment to be given a certain amount of weight (very different from that "best and only" bullshit), that's just irrational. The very word.

Ok, this made me snorkle because in the critical thinking class I just finished, there was a whole thing about how professionals have more credibility over laymen (heh - laymen) BECAUSE IT IS WHAT THEY DO.

As for titles? I suggest Spikes Bitches 35: Halfway to Happyland

Our wings are not tired

Hey there everyone. Thanks again for the ~ma and for the inside info on the UC system. I know that things take forever and I also know that when an offer (hopefully) gets extended then it has to go to yet another group to talk about salary. The search committee has nothing to do with the placement level or the salary.

I do have some inside info since the head of the program and the head of the search committee is my old mentor. He's the one who pushed me to apply. Hopefully he can at least let me know on some kind of unofficial level that the offer is coming my way. I head off to USITT next week, which is the big technical theatre conference each year. I'll be spending most of the week with my old mentor along with the heads of the big programs around the country (most of which wrote recommendations for me for the UCI job) and it's just going to be crazy making to have no idea where things are with the potential job in this atmosphere.

Sigh. The joys of universities.
