I have a burning question for y'all. In the Gordon Lightfoot song "Sundown", is Sundown the woman the rest of the song is about? Or is it someone else the singer is directing his jealousy against, over the woman? Or am I totally missing the point of the song and it is a metaphor for something else entirely?
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I hope P-C realizes that if he does marry this woman we'll always refer to her as "#5."
Heee. Well, good, now we have a nickname for her in case it goes well and we choose to meet up again.

Translation: stop fucking telling me what's fucking best for me.
My mom's solution to my inability to have her in my apartment for a whole week is to take us both to my grandmother's for the week, where I will be bored out of my mind with no Internet. I completely understand that on a practical level, this looks like a lovely solution where I don't have to do anything and get all my meals made for me, but I didn't ask for this. I was fully prepared to stay BY MYSELF in my apartment, fend for myself, WHATEVER, and mainline Six Feet Under. This is MY surgery and MY recovery and WHY THE FUCK DOES NO ONE UNDERSTAND THAT?
I am twenty-six years old and I feel like I'm being kidnapped by my family.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
P-C, I'm sure we can arrange to have you kidnapped by the people on the Internet. With or without ransom note, whatever you prefer. We'd let you watch 6FU

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
This is MY surgery and MY recovery and WHY THE FUCK DOES NO ONE UNDERSTAND THAT?
Oh honey, they will NEVER understand that. Not with surgery, not with jobs, not with your wife, not with your kids. You'll never get them to understand.
But you CAN get them to respect your wishes if you insist on it. (And my "respect" I don't mean in any emotional sense, but in a practical sense.)
Say "no". Go ahead and piss them off. They'll survive.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Mom, with all due respect, that will stress me out worse than staying at my own place. I know you think I'm selfish, but you have to respect my wishes about how I wanted to be treated after my own surgery. I know what's best for me."

I've been skimming a lot lately, but whatever happened with Kelly Kapoor?

She responded to my e-mail, and I responded to her, and she never responded back to that one. And now my mom is telling me not to pursue her any further anyway because they don't really know much about her and her family, and she's found this wonderful girl who's gotten great reviews.

Polter, there are days when I suspect you're merely the star in the Bollywood version of The Truman Show. There's no one bursting into song in your vicinity, is there?
Alternately, someone is in the bushes near you taking copious notes for a telenovela.

Huh. The new Daniel Silva book has managed to annoy me within two pages. The last one took at least five chapters.
