Aimee, I completely agree with ChiKat.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

[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.
I just don't know what to say. Spanking the kitty.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That the behavior of a consenting adult cat is simply no business of mine?
Best I got.

What ChiKat said.
The way to counteroffer is pretty straightforward, but there's a little homework in finding out what the area average salary for the position type is. Then just say thanks for the offer. Would you consider X amount? If you've done your homework, you can phrase it as "Based on my skills/experience/whatever, my salary requirements are in the X to Y range."
We just got back from a long walk around our completely deserted business district. Office buildings are creepy when empty. There's a lot of green space and woods, though, and we saw many cottontails and one meter-plus black snake (a black racer I think).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Back from the baseball tourney in Fremont. All day spent on a middle school baseball field with a break for Chili's.
We won both games. In the first game Arlo lead off and hit a double into the gap on the first pitch. There is no outfield fence. Arlo is exceptionally fast. Home run.
Second game? First pitch, Arlo drives one into the gap and gets another home run. Next at bat? Same thing.
We went 2-0, beating the other topped rank team 7-0. Emmett went 4 for 5 in the first game and got a couple knocks in the second game.
Back out there tomorrow at 8:30am. Oof. All the kids are staying in a hotel tonight. That will be mayhem.
I'm all sundazzled and fried.

Yay on the wins, Hec, but that is quite a schedule.

I just spent the last 3 hours in a drum circle. Not the amateur drum circle I had been led to believe it would be by the innocuous flyer I noticed in the park. "Bring your drum!"
It was a blessing circle for the recently burned Eastern Market.
Ended up being 7 professional African drummers and...the pasty white chick that is me.
I confess to a momentary perhaps slinking away would be a better strategy before this goes too far impulse...but I stuck it out and ended up holding my own.
It was joyful and a tremendous workout. I predict that I will not be able to lift my arms come morning.
Damn. I love drumming. I need to find a regular circle.

Two more tomorrow. One or two more on Monday. On the one hand, it's a lot of work. On the other hand, after three years of this, it's a community of parents and kids that I see over the summers. People that I like and care about, that like and care about Emmett. He was so pumped for the beginning of tournament season to start.
Maria and Suzi know what it's like traveling with a tournament team.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Can you do the drum solo from In-a-gadda-da-vida?
That reminds me...
I'd like to see Blue Man Group tackle In-a-gadda-da-vida.

Baha. Waaaay different kind of drum. But if you hum a few bars...
