Fay! You gotta stay in Thailand another year so I can accrue enough vacation to come visit!

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[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.
Oh! Well in that case...
(meanwhile, I've just discovered that a dear friend from Cairo will be in Singapore week after next. And I have the half term holiday then! Cue frantic travel arranging!)

By which you mean ... porn?
By which you mean ... porn?Inevitably.
Botswana, apparently, is very much like the vivid depiction in The Number One Ladies' Detective Agency. I confess myself intrigued...
Oooh. Huh. Also intrigued.
I really want to spend a year or two abroad. I've been looking at some sites with postings for math jobs at universities in other countries. The vast majority of them either require knowledge of Mandarin or are in countries where my American passport with several Israeli stamps would cause problems.
I wish I spoke more languages. I think that my French is good enough that, with a bit of practice, I could get by in a French-speaking country, but other than that, I've just got English.
But Fay! You must come to Seattle! Must, I tell you.
ION, I have just made an LJ entry about three different corsets I'm selling. Wish me sale~ma.

Bad spelling doesn't ping me nearly as badly as bad punctuation does. English spelling is hardly fraught with consistent rules - "I before E except after C" is about it. It's too illogical, and truly good spelling requires far too much memorization for many excellent minds to be successful with it. The rules of punctuation are much more consistent, and vastly easier to deal with. Minds that can't manage good punctuation, are minds I judge to either not care about the rules that make society work, or are actively rebelling against them (gawd, that e e cummings fellow was such a HOTT li'l rebel). But the thing is, I try to be charitable with evidence of either issue in chat, in email, in places like this. It's communication between friends. To heck with being perfect and prim and proper. As long as it isn't too hard to figure out what is actually being said, it's ok. It's on finished documents that these things can be dealbreakers for me.
By gum, I hate it when someone posts fan fic, begging for people to read and review, can't be bothered to run the thing through a spell-checker, and showing utter contempt for conventions of grammar and punctuation. Then they get all angry when my review includes links to punctuation tutorials "because it will help you put your best foot forward".
jiggles pompomstries not to stare at Fays "pompoms"...must look in eyes...must look in eyes! :-p
OK, no fair. I ordered pizza online. It said 30-40 min. that was 45 min ago. I gotta pee, and I **KNOW** if I head to el baño, the doorbell will ring.
ION, looks like I'm heading to FLA in November. Advice needed! I haven't flown in 2 or 3 years or something. ACK! 1st, and most important, what's the best way to book and get a good deal. Is there a direct flight from Southern California (like San Diego to Burbank area) to Orlando area? I really hate the thought of multi-stops. I'm sure there will be more questions, but I'll save them for when the time draws closer.

That you're a Buffista?Despite my lack of perfection in the punctuation of the written English language, I am still nice enough to feel like a jackass for it.
I'm really miffed I missed the Star Wars episode.FB, a friend of mine told me that this weekend Cartoon Network is showing both RC's SW ep and Family Guy's SW ep back to back. Go forth and enjoy.
