Right now is the calm before the storm. I'm in Orlando until I board the ship on Thursday. At the moment I'm sipping a yummy mohito and waiting for my yummy Cuban dinner to arrive.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

[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 hate you a little bit right now. Want mojito. Want Cuban food.

I eat cows because they were mean to me when I was a kid.
I eat cows because my father, grandfather and two great-grandfathers would haunt me if I didn't. Also, I've spent a lot of time around cattle and a lot of time around vegetables. Vegetables are smarter.
I think vegetarianism is a great thing, as long as you're not one of those people who think it means living on cheese pizza.

About a year ago, driving down into work in Orange County, CA (very Republican area mind you), on one of the over passes was a very large graffiti "GO VEGAN". Somehow I do not think it was a local HS sports mascot. I wanted to try and snap a pic of it, but strangely enough, that graffiti was removed FAST.
Of course, even if I had snapped it, I wouldn't be able to share... stupid HD crash. It even got my pron!! Oh! The HUMANITY!
/whine (for now)

I hate hd crashes. Luckily (if you can call it that) I'll forget what was on there until much later so I don't feel as bad initially as I do each time I need something that was on the dead hard-drive. The only thing I mourned the last time was an ex-gf's phone number. I think in the back of my head I figured I'd hang on to it and later on who knows...
that is one item on of the lengthy list of "wrong things to be thinking about this week..."

I've been doing a lot of lalala everything is fine...until I bump into something I really wish I still had...which is about once per hour. Hopefully, the feeling will fade in time.
It would help, I suppose, if I found a home for the dead eMac...just looking at it makes me hurt.

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.
Andi, yahoo! on the taxes. We will not be so lucky, dammit.Sorry to hear that, Sparky. I hope the hit you take isn't unmanageably big.
Perkins and Askye, how did today go?
meara, I'm glad you've got at least a bit of work. Good luck with the rest of the job hunt and with straightening out the unemployment mess.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I got into an argument once with someone who insisted all humans should be made to be vegan, but she was a little unclear on how to organize the food drops to the Inuit out on the ice.
snerk.
I've dealt with a few self-righteous vegans, but most of them have been about 16 years old, and I think that most 16-year-olds are like that about something. I've also dealt with a fair number of self-righteous omnivores -- again, mostly in high school, but also some older relatives. And a few random people -- like the woman serving food at the cafeteria at Tulane who told me "You ain't never gonna grow without no meat in your belly."
But yeah. Annoying people are annoying, no matter what they eat.

"You ain't never gonna grow without no meat in your belly."Is the grow up, or out? Cuz if it's out maybe Americans, in general, should consider it.
ION, just finished watching "Sicko" documentary. Even with the Michael Moore grain of salt... WOW! Boy do we need a national health plan. I didn't realize HMO's got started with Nixon. So what was it like before then??
