Yes, Sox - I need help. I will send soon. Must ungronk first. Tea. Tea would be good.

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.
Em is 3, as you all well know. And she is going to be getting so much stuff from her grandparents and uncles and aunt.
Yet, I feel this need to go a bit overboard with her, even though a) should not go overboard while she's happy with what she gets as opposed to the later years when things get exponentially more expensive and b) save some money. Yet, I feel like if she gets a sled, a Cinderalla doll, Dora skates, a couple of books and Annie (1982 - Albert Finney and Carol Burnett), she'll be getting not a whole lot! I R SILLY.

If anyone wanted to get me all of those things for Christmas I'd be pretty delighted. No, really. Skates! Annie!
ETA - Just got a phonecall from DH to say that it's snowing in Boston and he wishes that I was there because no one else is excited about it. Which is nice, except for that I'M NOT THERE.
So happy that your gf was unlaid off, gc.
She LOVES Annie right now. Decorating the hall on Friday, she sang "Tomorrow" for five hours. I may have a wee Sara Jessica Parker or Aileen Quinn on my hands.
Yay for GC's GF getting her job back!
It sure is snowing here, and I'm sure not excited about it. But I ALSO wish that you were here, Jars!
All this Narnia yakkity reminded me: I finally saw the movie of TLTWATW. And I gotta say...didn't suck.
I haven't read the books in about 400,000 years so parts of it would flash back. "Oh, YEAH, Mr. Tumnus! Oh, YEAH, the lamppost! Oh, YEAH, they fucking kill Aslan!"
Wanna go back and re-read, despite Christian parallel universe. Just to see if I still like them.
It turns out that both my brother and I had bad experiences as children with stage productions of TLTWATW. He was cast as "Mr. Beaver," a non-speaking and perhaps in the book a non-existent role; I, having been cast as Lucy, was removed from the position and offered the role of Mrs. Aslan. MRS. ASLAN.
Even without the Christian allegory, I sensed something deeply wrong with that concept.
GC, glad to hear that your GF is not laid off.
Suzi, I'm glad the phone call went well. Continued job~ma.
I'm quite sure my love of Kevin Smith's Dogma is due to its grounding in Catholicism.
That movie is fucking brilliant. When I saw it in the theater, I laughed so hard for pretty much the entire movie, that when it was over and the lights came up, an older woman sitting near us said something about "You young people are quite disrespectful," with a sneer and pointed glare that made it clear she didn't mean "people" as much as she meant "you blonde girl with the loud donkey laugh."
I looked blandly at her and said, "It's a *Kevin Smith* movie!" She said, "I have no idea what you're talking about," and walked away.
Which then caused me to dissolve into giggles yet again. It's not like Dogma was advertised as a pious documentary or some shit, you know?
But then, the teachings of Cathol can be quite moving.
