Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

Wah! First thing this morning I sucked 600+ posts here with the notion that I would skim before I popped in. Still haven't looked at those and another 100 have happened.

short version: drove 1300 miles home, kid turned 13, school started, back to work, hiring assistant so I can play more, miss everybody and vibes all round

Also, the emails I received for my assistant position included friskykitty, and sweetdimples. The person I am probably hiring had an email of om.RealFname.RealLname which was cool enough since she is a yoga instructor.

More when I get a chance to catch up, again Wah!

The band playing TV themes makes me think of Ted the Lawyer on "Scrubs"

Kristin, my Spanish is very, very rusty, but possibly: Nuevo gatito. Por favor, no abre la puerta o limpia ese cuarto.

Thrive to spite them

juliana thanks! I knew the actors were father and sons and I was thinking Brolin but I knew that was wrong. I totally would have remembered Josh Brolin in something.

Also I couldn't look at your pics until I got home and wow! You are smoking hot! You look amazing in the leather and the bike.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Because I forgot earlier, huge amounts of ~ma to you, Karl.

(No. No, I really don't. I can guarantee Giant Corporate Entity will not find my sense of humor humorous.)

Ha! Yeah, I've had recruiters tell me over the phone to "Be myself!" in interviews.

She should take control by not taking the candy! She was way out of line. Even if she is the boss.

Bingo. I am unimpressed by BossLady's behavior.

OMG - cutest Hello Kitty bento EVAH!

Wow. Just ... wow.

I have no idea which of my childhood TV habits drove my parents crazy. I'll have to ask them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

A proper CFO should probably understand and be interested in what the CPA is telling her about tax returns and booking money and G/L balancing.

Instead, I'm trying to slit my wrists with a Bic pen cap.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My father used to watch crap action with me (A Team, etc) and my mother crap soaps (Dynasty, etc). When I say I don't have many wistful memories of childhood it's not to say it was all hard knocks--just that I was obsessed with being all fierce and hardcore, and there just wasn't much room left over.

But the crap TV is pretty close to wistful nostalgia.
