Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

[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 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.
My sympathies to Aimee. Too bad the fix for a screaming toddler is not the same as the fix for a screaming back.

the roads are icy.
this is something that only happens in the northern states. It is not a federally approved action and therefore does not exist.
seriously? I was always boggled at the combination of freakout and lack-of-sense that came to Charlottesville whenever the weather got cold.

This is a running joke in Northern VA. I think, though, that a big part of the problem is that people have to get up and drive to work before they are really awake. There's always an awful lot of bumperlock and slow reactions and general brain-not-on in the morning (more so than the rest of the day).
When I'm King of the World, workdays won't have to start so early. Or involve commuting.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Poor Aimee's back!
Miracleman, sorry about the alarm fuckus.
Even up here in Wisconsin, people sometimes think they can beat the elements and drive like the roads aren't ice & snow covered. DH did finally complete our emergency kit for the van. He was so cute and went out and bought a giant duffle bag to keep the sleeping bag, extra hats & gloves, hand warmers, batteries and lamp and a 4lb bag of licorice whips.
And in the unending saga of Owen, he's currently using his Tyranosaurus Rex to devour Olivia's lamb slippers. I distinctly heard the words "sheep's liver."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
4lb bag of licorice whips.
These should have their own duffel bag. Along with Cherry coke and cheese popcorn.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Dylan decided to celebrate the passing of 2007 by skipping his first nap this morning and instead spent the better part of 3 hours making emphatic loud screechy noises that I'm sure were meant to communicate something. Possibly something along the lines of "CHECK OUT HOW LOUD I CAN SCREECH!!! AW, YEAH, SCREECHING!!!! WOOOOOOOT!"
Thankfully, he's asleep now. Let us hope that this nap makes up in length for the missing of nap #1.
[eta: Oh, and I am over my Stomach Ick of the past few days, and instead woke up to find that I had been invaded by communists at some time in the middle of the night. What fun. Not.]

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
Big family party last night. Soooo much fun. As it was winding down, someone said "the cousins should go to a movie!" so eleven of us (eight cousins, three significant others) went and saw Charlie Wilson's War.
How much do I love that my family's idea of a good time is going to see Charlie Wilson's War ?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Very thick fog in Northern Virginia this morning. Luckily, very thin traffic as well.
Teddy is home, and it looks like the best case scenario -- too high levels of immune suppressant, which is treatable. More tests Wednesday to make sure there hasn't been damage to the kidney and related tubes.

Our wings are not tired.
Good news, Fred!
Went to BIL's big family thing. Lots and lots of people. It was very nice and I was comfortable enough. Glad I went. Had a bit too much champagne.
