Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

[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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

(Scola, no need to post links to jobs. I'm actually *enjoying* the unified front of pissy pettiness.)

It was too painful to NOT post it, huh?

move out and draw fire

You know you may be Not Ready for Monday if:

At Dunkin Donuts for coffee, you consider getting the Box of Joe. For yourself.

Anybody want to play Psychoanalyze My Neighbor? He's in his mid-to-late 30s, single, white, has a pretty cool dog. As far as I can tell, he has only basic furniture in his house, and no pictures, decorative items, or anything.

Every morning, at 6:30, he comes out of his garage, gets into his SUV (which he never pulls into his garage, even though his garage is empty), backs out of his driveway, drives about 50 feet, backs up, pulls back in his driveway, gets out, goes into the garage, and then repeats the whole thing 5-7 times.

Sometimes he doesn't get out of the car between forays to the 50-foot mark.

On weekdays, he comes out later and walks the dog, then takes the dog somewhere (gets in the car and goes, no out-and-in). Then he comes back, gets into work clothes, and leaves for work around 9.

In the evening (or weekend afternoon), he comes out of the garage and uses the remote to unlock the car, then the back hatch, then lock it, then unlock it. He did this for 12 straight minutes once, which about drove my husband off the deep end - the car chirps "beepbeep" when it locks or unlocks, and R swore it was something in our house that was low on batteries. He refused to believe it was the neighbor until I literally forced him to go look out the window (we can play Psychoanalyze My Husband later).

Neighbor seems nice enough, says hi, is helpful. Could this be a type of OCD? Is there anything I can do to help, or to not trigger?

I keep wanting to add steps like, "Now, productively procrastinate by doing the dishes for 20 minutes," because that's how *I* write a paper!

I had a writing professor who would ask "What's the first thing a writer does?" Answer: Avoid writing. He suggesting building the avoidance in, so, for example, you'd say, "I'm going to wash dishes for 15 minutes and then start writing."

Ugh, Monday. And I have tons o' meetings today, starting in 5 minutes.

Thanks to P-C for the Avatar info! We watched it online last night. Damn, I love that show! I have a sort of thing for Zuko and his wonky eye.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have a sort of thing for Azula and her sexy robe.

Whoah. Sounds very OCD, Raq. Poor guy. Either that or he's got some wicked crazy car troubles.

Azula is too evil for me. Zuko is nice and conflicty.

Taking the dog somewhere might be to a dog park or something. The rest: OCD, an obsessive need to practice backing up or setting the groundwork for an insanity defense.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Could this be a type of OCD?

I can't really imagine what else it could be.
