Giles ,'Touched'
[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.
Sneak off to a bar?
Christ, I wish. (eyes CBC from not-to-afar)
Shall I come steal you for a coffee trip at 1 or 1:30?
Sure, that sounds good! I will email you my work #, so that you can call me when you're approaching? Where shall we meet? There's a Starbucks in the Marriott lobby, the ABP, or the Cosi...?
Do you need to eat too? I'm eating lunch right now, so I won't need food, but if you need food, we can go to a more foodie place. If you don't have a preference, I prefer the yummies at ABP.
And yay! I will call when I'm getting on the T at MGH. I'm gonna park over there, so I don't have to pay for parking twice.
ETA: Nebbermind. Taken to e-mail.
The bathroom stuff looks amazing, GC! We are going to redo ours eventually and I LOVE what you picked. Wonderful colors.
My goodness, I'm a real expert at talking myself out of things I don't want to do. It's amazing!

Are you avoiding Spanish again?
Oh, wait. That's me.
Oooh, new kitchen! Pictures?
The plan to redo it was just hatched last week after my friend took up the ugly ass tile. We were trying to figure out if he'd just redo the wood floor or put a new floor down on top and that led to Whole New Kitchen plan! But he can't do it until February.
I bought a laptop off of eBay and it should be delivered today. I'm very excited. It runs Win98, but I'm very familiar with that program and it's a sturdy workhorse. And the laptops designed for it are cheap.
Does hollow ground mean the same as hollow edge?
Yes - you can see a whole bunch of different knife styles here - some say "hollow ground edge" some just "hollow edge" etc etc, but they're all referring to the same style of blade.
I use my santoku knife for all kinds of slicing, chopping, mincing and dicing. I like the way the gently curved blade rocks on the cutting board.
Anyone up for playing career counselor? Don't worry, I'm not in emotional, panicked, job-hating mode. It's more that my talk with my boss yesterday, coupled with her plans for sort of mentoring me into a hospital administrator's role, got me thinking about long-term plans. Not that any force on earth would make me stop writing, but I feel like maybe I need a contingency plan if I don't sell in the next few years, because if I'm passionate and confident about what I do for a day job, those qualities will transfer into my writing. At least, I think they will.
