[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.

The status is NOT quo.

Wah. My tutoree parent cancelled this week's session. Since I didn't have one last week due to Thanksgiving, I'm feeling the lack of extra cash right now.

It's Christmas, wealthy parent-type! C'mon, help a sister out!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think there is an inherent privilige to being white, and that a lot of white people are oblivious to that fact -- but it doesn't sound like that's what she was talking about.

It's part of it, but more of what she was talking about was the perceptions that our tutees probably have.

And the thing is, I haven't run across a single student who's seemed to have a problem with this. So, we spent this whole uncomfortable class making sweeping generalizations about something that none of us (and, she did eventually ask) are having a problem with.

I'm getting the pig!

(trying to imagine Suzi giving up the green and gold ... of course, with a new shirt, she could start a new collection of badges/buttons)

Have you seen her bedroom?? If Suzi gave up the green and gold (totally not necessary, btw!), she'd have to practically start over when it comes to decorating.

I know a guy that decorated his bedroom in Rockies colors. That much black and purple.... It looks like one big bruise.

How's Seamus doing, Kristin? Any mishaps today?

Okay, I'll brag. Yes. :)

Ok. I just posted my reflection in my LJ. If you're on my FL, will you go give me your thoughts? (And, if you're not on my FL, why not?!)

I'm in Dallas and it looks like my flight to Toronto is on time. I even had time to duck into duty free and pick up a bottle of Bushmills for the director.

Don't jinx it, ND!

Also, based on writing style, I'm pretty sure it's JZ I just waved to over at the slacktivist thread on Rick Santorum. I'm absolutely chuffed (and yet, in no way surprised) over my first unexpected vitrual run-in with a Buffista outside of B.org.

So pissed lady in Budapest's duty free said I couldn't buy the big bottle of Unicum because they would take it away in Amsterdam. Don't they plan for that?
