I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.  

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm trying to get myself motivated to get dressed and go grade papers. (I was supposed to be tutoring today, too, but that got canceled because of the World Bank protests.) I really just want to go back to bed. But I've got a stack of papers that really need to be done today.

Trust my rage

Ellie is with my mom on her way to New Mexico right now for an entire week. I miss her a bit. It's so weird being home alone.

Do you just collect these weirdos, Fay?

So, yesterday, I finished the entire run of the UK Office, by watching the Christmas special, and that was hands down the most romantic thing I've ever seen.

Show broke me. Hard.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's wonderful, isn't it? Their relationship is real and hard-won and based on respect and acceptance and understanding and all kinds of things which are SO important in love but so hard to make "romantic" onscreen. And damned if they don't manage it beautifully. Great music in that ep, too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hi, Bitches! I was gone. How's things?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good to see you, Zen! Much ~ma to you and your family.

OMG, yes. I can't imagine how much it would have hurt having to watch it in real time, over a couple of years, rooting for Tim and Dawn the whole time.

And I loved it that even David finds a girl by the end, and starts to learn how to not be such a complete wanker all the time. Because that's the real heartbreaking beauty of David Brent -- he's horrible, but you can see that he's not a horrible person (unlike his "friend" Finchy), that deep down there's a good man there, whose just so full of fear and neuroses that you just never know what's going to come out of the poor man's mouth. But when he relaxes and stops trying so hard all the time? He gets a woman who likes him and wants her to call him again.

The show really, really broke me. I was crying and flailing, and just in bliss over such a wonderful TV show. Am now a serious Ricky Gervais fanboy.

ETA: Hi Zen! I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Tons of coping~ma to you and your family.

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.

Zenkitty, lots of hugs and ~ma of all kinds to you and your mom and your sister.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, Zenkitty, that's so hard. Hugs and much ~ma.

Kristin, are you around? I need some teacherly advice. I'm on AIM, if you have a few minutes. (I don't really want to talk about this on the board, since it's about a specific student.)

ETA: Actually, nevermind, Kristin. I'm gonna go do some cleaning and be away from the computer. I may e-mail you later.
