'Life of the Party'
[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.
In interrupt this lovely conversation on brussel sprouts to remind you all that Nora is just about the best lunch date ever.
Also, a small bitch:
If you sign up for a 3:30 tutoring session, do not e-mail me and tell me you signed up for a 2:30 tutoring session. I have the sheet in front of me. It tells no lies.
Also. Why would you sign up for a 2:30 tutoring session if your class goes until 2:45?
And, I'm off to meet my 2:30 appointment :).
Why am I at work when no one else is? I'd totally leave and "work at home" for the afternoon, but they might be delivering my new iPod today. Arrgghhh.
Ooooo...new iPod is a good reason to stay. They should give us that kind of motivation EVERY day. Oh, wait. It's called pay.
P-C, what everyone else said. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I'd try to work up a suggestion to ease your mother's fears, but I'm not sure anything would do that without wreaking havoc on the boundaries you need to create.
askye, without having seen the ad, I'd agree that it sounds like the imagery is pretty sexual. Assuming that Alicia Silverstone would still be considered sexy -- I haven't seen any pictures of her at all lately, so I wouldn't know.
The problem with getting upset about the ad is, sex sells. Or at least advertisers have decided that it does. And it's always been so, though admittedly full nudity is a recent development. And advertisers prefer to use sex to sell by relying on beautiful women more than beautiful men.
Maybe the answer is to suggest a comparable ad involving a celebrity male vegetarian.
Assuming that Alicia Silverstone would still be considered sexy -- I haven't seen any pictures of her at all lately, so I wouldn't know.
I think the deal is that she had gained "a lot" of weight and was considered not-sexy for a few years. So now her sexiness was rehabbed through the power of vegetarianism.

If I had twins right now, I'd name them Tegan Isabel and Julian Charles.

I'm hoping you don't mean identical twins.
ETA: oops
Heeey, GC, by the way, I got The Con a few weeks ago. My favorite songs are "The Con," "Hop a Plane" (probably my most-listened-to off the album), "Back in Your Head," "Burn Your Life Down," and I think "Like O, Like H." I haven't totally gotten into it, but I like some songs.
She doesn't dig most of the cruciferous veggies
This is me. I just googled the phrase and now I know the Devil's true name. A few of the leafier items on the list are OK (arugula, watercress, bok choy), but most of those are the NAST!! I've always called them the sweaty vegetables.
The Con rawls.
