I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and an awesome response on the Hax chat:

So I'm a 30-something single gal not sure what I want out of a guy. Sometimes I'm hoping to meet someone completely vapid who will leave me the minute a 23-year-old flashes her thong and other times I'm hoping to meet an intelligent man who still lives in his parents basement. Jeez, dude, get over yourself.

I really do think the whole thing is about the false dichotomy, which I agree some women do, too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My big plan for the weekend is serious housecleaning.

That's my plan too, Jesse. I wonder if it will happen.

I'm also going to get Perkins the cat a lion shave so that I can mock him he is more comfortable, and doesn't try to whap me everytime I get near him with a brush.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

This weekend:

Going and seeing Stardust.
Answering the huge amount of email that was sent to GCS this week.
Finishing the second draft of my book proposal. I mean it. Finishing. No more dawdling for me!
Possibly seeing my pseudo-sibling, and getting a tarot reading from him.

Coding and Sleeping

My big plan for the weekend is serious housecleaning. Not just straightening so it's not embarassing if anyone else came in. Cleaning floors, carpet, dealing with stacks of paper, etc. For reals.

Hey, if you enroll with that seminary, you could get credit hours for that.

My weekend will probably be computer support for extended family members, web development for extended family members, cleaning, and playing with the kids.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think I will steal this idea, because I didn't realize until this conversation that I had no plans this weekend.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Baptist seminary launching homemaking program

And, Daisy, did you hear about what they did a couple of months ago? Fired all their female professors, except for the ones in the women's programs. Because women are not supposed to teach men.

Yeah. I'm with you on the righteous fury.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Do you want some of my plans bon? I have been consistently overbooking for weeks now. In addition to the above list, Neko Case and Rufus Wainright are at Nokia, I want to see Bourne, I'd like to have coffee with ex-roomie, finish my dress and visit a new fabric shop. I also can't remember if I told anyone I'd hang with them this weekend.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

three hours on "the value of a child,"

Depends on mass and volume. Also, can it tap dance?

and three hours on the "biblical model for the home and family."

Presumably with concubines?

Actually, I think more colleges should offer courses about all the household things we're still assuming people learn from their mothers, but possibly not for course credit, and for both genders.
