You have a minion now! Make her go get you something!!!!!The minion is sleeping. Sleeping minions won't fetch coffee.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's when you press the button that activates the remote-control shock-collar.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, Hil. Don't beat yourself up too much.
Sleeping minions won't fetch coffee.
That's so profound. Or maybe I need more coffee. Or more minions.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Poor Hil--Looks like it's time to get a more annoying alarm clock, and set it up across the room, so you have to get up to turn it off.

Well, lovely. Just lovely.
I have no power. And, since I'm stealing wireless from a neighbor, I tend to think it's not an outage. And if it's a billing issue, I can't deal with it, because the bill is in my landlord's name. And my landlord isn't at work, and his office won't give me his cell number.
Grrrrr...

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
What Robin said, Hil, has worked for me.
I get "are you Irish?" more often than, "what's your ethnicity?" and I will claim to be 1/2 Irish to end the conversation quickly. Otherwise I'll admit I'm a mutt, less than half Irish, plus German, Hungarian and Romanian. On March 17th I feel Irish. At Oktoberfest I feel German. On Halloween I try to mention casually that my Romanian forebears were from Transylvania. So yeah. American. Very American.

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.
Adorable costume pics, Aimee.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My alarm clock is a clock radio, volume turned all the way up, set slightly off a Christian station. So the alarm is a staticky Brother Somethingorother talking about how we should thank Jesus for this wonderful day. And it's on the other side of my room. (What I really should have done for today was also set the alarm on my cell phone and left it next to my pillow, so that there would be something closer to my ear that might have a chance of actually waking me up.)

A lot of this is medical, though, and beyond your control. Try not to beat yourself up, okay?
I do just have to say that I think your alarm clock may be the most effective one ever.

I've been known to use two alarm clocks set 15 minutes apart.
