Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

Eep, hope if it's an ulcer it's a "here's antibiotics, drink some extra milk for a while" kind, and not anything worse!

Is this the Idaho and NorCal job, meara?

Nope, this is a job that was advertised as some regional travel, but now might be some Seattle, some LA, and some...Tennessee??? Um, right. Whatever.

Anyone here worked as an independent contractor? I know nothing of the requirements for accounting and tax deductions and the like--got a suggestion of a place to start?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mmmm. Pi.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Delicious, delicious geekery.

Homemade tater tots are love.

I had no idea that it was possible to make tater tots from scratch.

Our wings are not tired

They are much better when made from potatoes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A bunch of us are bringing pies into the office tomorrow.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I have tomorrow off. I have a pie crust. But I don't think I have enough money to buy ingredients. Maybe I can wheedle some ingredients out of my roommates.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because our house is odd - bedtime songs this evening:

Twinkle
There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
Theme from "Superman: The Animated Series"
Mommy's Hair song
A Whole New World
and for Aunt Jilli, the theme from The Addams Family

yes. You should get an accountant. You might also want to check to see if you need a business license, some states require that of independent contractors.
