No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

[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.

I don't look that good
BWAH!!! You are So. Wrong.

Sean, I'm glad the surgery went well. Crossing fingers everything continues to improve.

I finished ten papers! I love Panera so damned much. There was a jazz duet playing live music, too, so it was pretty much my ideal grading environment. I'm going to try to do a few more papers tonight (I'd hoped to do twenty today, but I think 13 may be it), but I'm proud of myself for buckling down and completing at least that much.

I still have 28 more of these suckers, 58 final exams, and 4 creative writing portfolios. Sigh. But these essays are the hardest. Once I finish them, I'll be in good shape.

I know I read the Narnia books, but I don't remember them at all. Weird.

I remember the bit about the turkish delight. I was so disappointed when I actually had some and it was disgusting.

I had Turkish Delight from a Turkish camper (back when I was a camp counselor) brought that month from Turkey, and I thought it was de-lish. It might have just been that particular kind, though. The kid's dad was loaded and sent her with all kinds of luxuries.

I'm sure that I had some cheap mass produced crap. I suspect that real turkish delight is quite nice.

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 finally had the real stuff and it was MUCH better than prior domestic versions.

Not quite the ambrosia Edmund adores, but I suppose it could be pretty exotic to a war-time English kid.

Yeah, I've never tried any other kind. I'm sure I'd be disappointed after having "My Father Owns Oil Fields" Turkish Delight.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I should be wrapping gifts and setting to box a bunch for shipping tomorrow. Instead I'm snoozing on the couch watching tv. Ugg. I did the shopping, can't someone else do the other stuff?

Sean, backflung.

Hi. I've had a max of three hours of uninterrupted sleep in the last two nights. I've barely eaten today. But I finished and uploaded my Yuletide story, toddler with earache thwarting bedamned.

I wanted to comment on the religion discussion from the perspective of one raised by atheists, but sadly, was too braindead/Yuletide addled. Someone remind me in the morning, because it's something I've been thinking about a lot.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I read a bunch. I drank wine. I feel the need to repeat this:
