[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.

Yeah, I don't even want to know what the wind chill is here, but we've got wind advisories until mid-afternoon. (Yay Chicago!) Brrr.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
8 degrees here, but it may get all the way up to 25. That seems almost balmy.

Our wings are not tired.
Chilly in here! Stay warm my dears. Hot cocoa thoughts headed your way. It was so cold last night I closed the windows, but they are open again now.
Settling in for a day of work, computer work, so some time can be spent at play too.
One of the young guests did the dishes this morning! Can I trade him for my kid?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Kristin, if you're around, you should check out this McSweeney's article.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I hear you, Laura. I am wearing a thick sweatshirt, THAT"S how chilly it is here in Cali.

The status is NOT quo.
Tom, I won't be able to check that link until tomorrow, but thanks.
Key West decided to make it easier on us by being rainy and windy today. We leave in a few hours.

The rain was a beautiful and welcome thing, except it had been so long that DH left a bunch of his tools in the driveway to get soaked. Maybe he should do that more often.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Snerk. I'm reading a review of the Israeli version of Avenue Q. The review itself is in English, but leaves several untranslated Hebrew quotes of the lyrics. As far as I can tell from my not-so-great Hebrew, "If You Were Gay" now includes a line that translates as something like "It's OK if you have chosen the lyings of a man," using the same construction as the biblical "You shall not lie with a man the lyings of a woman," and "The Internet is For Porn" contains, within a single line, references to Onan and the Garden of Eden. (Something like, "The internet, it's simple, is a garden of Eden for Onans." I think.)
I recall reading a quote from someone, when Hebrew was starting to take shape as a modern language, that he'd been studying a biblical passage that included the phrase "Seek Justice!" and then walked outside to see an ad that used the same word and construction for "Seek Ice Cream!" Wonder what he'd think of this.
t edit: changed my tagline. Because it's making me giggle.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hey, all. Totally skipped, not even skimmed. I have been off for a couple of days -- Thursday, snow day(!!) and then Friday cause I got this nasty head cold with a sore throat -- so sore, I thought I might be heading into strep or tonsilitis, but happily, no.
I drowned the cold germs in my patent pending chicken broth/lemon/Fuckload O' Garlic sippin' med, and lots of Naked juices, and hot tea, and I have pretty much whupped its ass, except for being a little sniffly and coughy. Go, team me. I was afraid I would feel asstastic all weekend.
Now I have hard-core cabin fever and I think I will brave the cold (seriously) and start up the car and go find some food that's NOT toast, fruit or chicken broth.
On the upside, I stepped on the scale this AM and figured out I have lost about 15-20 pounds in the last 9 months. (Approximate, cause my scale is OOOLLLDDD, and I haven't been weighing myself at all.) Woo and hoo.
I have also paid bills. Weird. I am being really fiscally responsible in 2008. (hey, don't laugh. It's a New Thing for me.)
Am I finally....(gulp)...Growing Up?
