Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

hip deep in pie

I'm glad to hear your cake turned out well. We did wonder if we were testing the "let's see if it's possible to have too much chocolate" version of the recipe. About how thick was the icing on your cake? It was about 1 cm thick (1/2 cm in between the layers) on ours.

Too much chocolate? Unpossible!

Have y'all even seen the show "How to look good naked?" It's quite awesome. It's a British show where this stylist takes normal shaped women, makes them over, and convinces them to do a nude photo shoot and walk in a fashion show in underwear. It's all about dressing right and making them over so they feel good about their bodies, not trying to get them to loose 20 pounds in a few weeks.

Also, I wastch a good chunk of Gossip Girls, and it was cheesetastic and awful, and I didn't know if I loved it or hated it. It was like the OC without the sense of fun.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I agree with the assertion that single vs. couple arguments and simplifications are ridic, that list also fails when looking at same sex couples and for single parents. cause #1, yeah NSM.

Mac had a babysitter tonight so I could work late and he was all filled with hugs and cooperation once she left. It's amazing what a little time away does.

I should be in bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hope you are indeed in bed. I am not long for this night, I think. Meds are taking their toll.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And yet I still maintain that Madrigal won the most ill-fitting Real Name award.

Close call.

I'm up from my post-allnighter, finish the book, nap.

I'm all creaky and sore like the old person I am.

I've submitted an excerpt of my book to a journal that specializes in psychology and the arts. (Related to Tom Waits' profound sensory integration/vertigo issues he had as teenager and how he wound up incorporating elements of his adaptive behavior into his songwriting.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

There is a hotel in town that I would love to have a night in - it is very sleek, modern and hey cater to their guests - One anniversary night - I know they sprinkled rose petals all over the suite for some friends who had their wedding reception there. And in the case of SF - going in and not having to head home - and see a show and not have to worry about coming home - sounds great.

I sent a lot of time thinking single vs marries - because I have a single sister. There are a lot of reasons that are/can be express frivolously. But I think in long run accepting where you are, recognizing it as a state that is, is the best place to be.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It be talk like a pirate day here, an if yer not a yellow bellied coward, ye'll speak as a seafarin' dog.

ETA: Bellied was better.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

On Heroes, who's the blond actress with the freckles on her nose who plays the detective?
