We've had a very productive day. I wrote my ethics paper (yay!), sorted 6 boxes of comics that were donated to my juvie kids, and helped GF set up our new receiver (oy). Now we relax with some cocktails.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.
Ugh, I'm sorry sj. Shame on them, especially if they're Italian.
I want GC's day, but minus the paper. Instead I get family drama between my father and sister. Didn't anyone ever tell him it's bad form to bring up not-so-DexH in the middle of a work argument?
Why yes, I'm helping out at the restaurant again this weekend. The new guy we hired quit after a week and a half. Thank god we have a bar. I'm gonna need it.
That's really rough, sj. I hope it progresses slowly.
Well, it took me longer than two hours, vw, but I'm glad to hear that things worked out well in the end. And ice cream. Yummy.
My big complaint of the day? I went to one of my favorite restaurants for brunch, all by myself, as a reward for going in to work when I really didn't have to, but not staying too long. I had wonderful whole grain pancakes with apples and ground pecans (teh yum!) and bacon on the side, because one wouldn't want to be too healthy. And really, I'm coming to the complaint. The bacon was cooked perfectly: crispy, but not scorched. But it had almost no flavor. It was actually kind of freaky, in a diamond-shoes-are-too-tight sort of way.
(I'm posting from the treo so it's hard to meara.)
vw, I'm glad you can laugh about it. Hooray for working technology!
Graduation was very nice today. Sad and wonderful as graduations often are.
I came home and crashed for three hours, and I am supposed to be grading now. Donwanna. Also? My kitchen smells. This is how much it needs cleaning. So did I clean it? No. I lit candles instead.
crap I shoulda come over and cleaned your kitchen instead of having sherry. drat.
Day from hell yesterday.
Put in another application for a rental house. I feel good about this one, but you know? At some point in life I thought I'd make enough money and be respectable enough to not get turned down for rentals.
ION, this vid of women in art is tres cool: [link]
I would totally rent to you Raq, if I were wealthy enough to own real estate in that area that is.
That video was fabulous. Nice that some people have that kind of time. Wow.
Random news: I scored a T-shirt that says "Kiss My Tiara" for $3 on the clearance rack yesterday.
Ben and I are seeing Pirates 3 today, too. So far it's been a decent weekend, aside from the punishing humidity and heat. Blech.
What kind of asshats are renting in the D.C. area, Raq? Who wouldn't want a smart, sexy woman of the world with an adorable child and husband?
vw, your day yesterday sounds ... well, head-bangy. But it all worked out! And there was icce cream!
sj, I'm so sorry about the family picture thing. That's just mean. I'm glad you and TCG had some fun, though.
Does anybody else play the game Tropix? I downloaded it the other day. It's just a silly little collection of games like Solitaire and Sudoku and a Zuma clone etc. but you also have this island with a monkey and a crab on it and you buy them things. It's very silly and apparantly designed just for me because I totally love it. Anyway I named my first island La Isla Buffista.
