Jen, all my ~~ma and prayers are on their way to Boston.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…
'Conviction (1)'
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.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Thanks so much, Aimée. I really appreciate it. I just keep thinking, "OK, she was stable enough to go straight to the OR. That's a good sign. And the surgeons were happy enough with the results of the surgery that they called in the plastics team to fix the cut on her forehead while she was still in the OR and under anesthesia. They wouldn't have done that if they were thinking of it as life or death thing, or if she wasn't tolerating the anesthesia." Y'know, a nurse pep talk.
But I still can't sleep.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Hurrah for Christmas booty!
(No, not that kind of booty. Shame on you!)
Yesterday I scored some L'Occitane goodies and a double packet of imported TimTam wafer biscuits.
Today I have a Christmas box of Hershey's toffeenut thingimabobs and two PotC figurines!!!! One of Cap'n Jack Sparrow, and the other of Davey Jones! Because one of my kids is the daughter of my awesome fellow geek co-worker!
Best. Christmas pressie. Evah.
(Oh, how I laughed at the people sporting Really Awful necklaces from the large family of kids whose mother's elegance belies the awfulness of her gifts. Yes, last year I was one of those people. This year - this year, I have Captain Jack!!!)
eta

God, it's like 2007's determined to kick Buffista ass while is still can!
The sad thing is, I wouldnt' have gotten this as wordplay until you mentioned, and then I had to go "huh? OH!"
Well, I looked at it askance to start with - but he's all about the poetry and the wordgames, so after a moment I was all 'Aha! Clever!'

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
{{{Jen}}} Much ~ma to your friend. If it's any consolation, one of the basses in our choir had a similar accident this spring, and he's healthy and back on his bike now.

Jen, best of luck to your friend.
Do you have anything else in the shortening family?
Nope, not unless vegetable oil counts. But I cut the recipe in half (luckily it asked for 2 eggs, not 3!), and it turned out fine.
Also, my friends and I watched ANTM (which has had a terribly lame season), polished off a bottle of wine (um, I might've had more than my share) and saw "Crowned", the new mother-daughter pageant show. OMG SO MUCH TRASHY TRASHY FUN. TERRIBLE. BUT OMG. They had to give themselves a name, and one duo named themselves "Silent But Deadly".

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
They had to give themselves a name, and one duo named themselves "Silent But Deadly".They'll end up being like one of those smells that announces it's presence and lingers past the point you could actually believe one could.
Not entirely unlike Keith Richards!

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.
Jen, I'm definitely sending prayers and vibes for your friend.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Jen, much ~ma for your friend.
