I finally DID fall asleep -- of course, waking up proved to be a bitch and a half.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

[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.

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

Pretty good. We have got Prospero's Manga with weekday updates, Carla doing freelance/temp work and doing okay with it but her current gig is a bit boring, and I am hammering away at some comic publishing editors for a writing gig and working some stuff for the game business

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Morning, all.
I join, apparently, all of you in coming in to work today via GRONK.
Last night I fell asleep about 8, woke up about 11, then couldn't get back to sleep until past 2. I was chill-y and ache-y and dead sure I was coming down with a wicked cold or flu. This morning I seem okay other than an achy back (and what woman over a "B" cup doesn't wake with lower back pain most mornings?) But it about killed me to get up this morning. And I REALLY don't want to get sick before my trip, 'cause I need to get my desk as clear as possible before taking a week off - and I REALLYREALLY don't want to get sick for my trip.
But enough of mememe. Trudes, how's the plan coming? I'm working on a similar plan, less focused on cabana boys but very Lady of Leisure specific. Maybe if we joined forces we could get funding for the research?

So I'm wondering whether Jilli has yet read this. And, if so, what she thinks.
Fay, Jilli has read it. I'm not sure of her opinion though. I'm sure she'll pop in to tell you at some point but this is her first day back at work today so things may be rather hectic for the poor wee thing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's been just over a week since I've talked to my mom (the last time was, oddly enough, in the presence of Buffistas). I was incredibly busy in L.A. and at the wedding(s), and I saw no reason to invite potential ruin on myself by calling home. Remember when people were suggesting that I try e-mail since phone conversations don't go well sometimes?
Sunday evening, I got this:
hi looks like this will be the best way to keep in touch i hope since you do not call.
I resisted the urge to flip out and just proceeded to send her nice pictures from the wedding(s) specifically taken to impress potential future wives (and one has usurped tommyrot's "natural light" picture as the best picture ever taken of me (and everyone always thinks that one is creepy, so I guess it's good to find something better)). Predictably, she couldn't unpack the RAR file, so I had to resend them unzipped.
Her response:
hi sunil i like these nice picture of you you look very handsome . mommy CALL ME I NEED TO HEAR YOU VOIC
So...I guess I'll go ahead and call. I've been out of the house over eight years now. You'd think she would have let go a little bit. A little bit. It's nice to be needed, I suppose.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, I don't know if the wanting to hear your voice ever goes away, dude. I am 51 and I think my mom would like to talk to me three times a day. She is not crazy so she knows that's not possible, but she'd like it. As it is, since my dad died I talk to her four times a week or so.
