[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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Sympathy cards are the worst. They're always filled with sappy sentiments and bad verse. I usually end up with a blank card.

This process is not helped by the fact that I carefully put my collection of greeting cards somewhere in a fit of organization. I have no idea where that somewhere is.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ginger, that sucks beyond the telling of it.

All the houses we want to look at in Wisconsin are available online (virtual tours on almost all of them). And yet, I spent last evening printing up listings for 16 houses because DH "needs to see them on paper." The pictures are awful and my printer is now nearly out of ink. *sigh*

I'll be spending my birthday this year house hunting, since we're flying up to SP on Friday.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I second any of the knife brands mentioned, but the most important thing is to find the one that feels right in your hand -- it doesn't matter what the brand is if the balance is off in a way that keeps you from being able to use it comfortably. (This is one of the two reasons I hate the block set thing.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I want to register for a couple of good knives, but I don't really know what is good. Any recommendations?

Henckels are best for people with really big hands. I like Wustof, personally. CI likes Forschiner/Victorinox, and Alton Brown likes Shun.

Your best bet would really be to go to a Williams-Sonoma and test a whole bunch (to see which ones feel most comfortable in your hand), and then see which of the brands/models you like best are carried at Macy's.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I feel as though someone took a knife to my toe. Or a veggie peeler. Yesterday my favorite shoes gave me a huge blister on the top of my middle toe and now I can't wear any shoes that come close to touching that toe. So that rules out everything I have except....flipflops. Which are wrong like a wrong thing and yet I'm wearing flipflops at work.

Can I go home now?

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.

In other news, I had a very vivid dream about Buffy and... maybe Jack Harkness? It's really sticking with me.

Ya know, I think Buffy's cookie-baking project would benefit by spending some time absorbing the heat of Jack Harkness. Yum. She could definitely stand to learn a thing or three about healthy sensuality, and who better to help her learn than the Captain of Love*.

Ginger, that sucketh so mightily.

Harvey is purring his little heart out, and keeps trying to sit on the keyboard. I wonder if he is trying to offer suggestions for things to say.

Ouch, Suzi. Hope your toe heals quickly.

  • *And by "Captain of Love" I mean, porn.

I five more minutes, I have to "lead a discussion" on the moon's orbit. The problem? These kids have spent all year so far on the computers. Discussions aren't what we do in that class. So I'm nervous. Wish me luck!

Punishingly Intricate

So, if I can figure out a way to keep people from knowing that my spelling sucks, then I figure other people should be able to figure out how to do that too.

Exactly! It's one thing not to check your spelling and grammar when you're communicating in an informal forum (here or IM or email) with your friends but a total other thing if you are trying to impress someone. If you don't even make the effort to spellcheck what else isn't going to be worth your time???
