The first time I heard "bullshit" on NYPD Blue, I almost jumped out of my seat.

[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So what are fanny packs called in England?
Wait...is it bum packs??
The whole "they call them < snicker > fanny packs" in America is a great great awesome moment in the UK Office.

I wonder if fanny packs didn't make the transition to GB because no marketing person was willing to face the task of coming up with a name that drew no snickers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This makes FANNY HILL a REALLY appropriate name.
Yeah, I got stuck on Fanny Hill/Mons Venus equivalence back when I was too young not to be literal.

Panic is setting in.
I just scrapped all but two paragraphs of the second main section of the thesis. This means, the precious 4-5 pages I've bled out the last couple of weeks are gone, and I'm starting over with a new concept statement at the end of the intro to the section.
This needed to happen and is one of the reasons so little has gotten written. It was crap, and today I got confirmation that it was uninteresting and crap. I've been saying for weeks that it read like a 2nd grade book report, but no one believed me. Then someone actually read it, and, well, I was right.

Sometimes, you just have to do that, vw. But it sounds like you've got a better direction to go in and I'll bet this one takes fire because you now know what not to do.

No panic, vw. What you've scrapped is mistakes you won't make again. You're free of them and can write the paper you need to write.

Yeah, but I still don't know what to do! :)
It'll be fine, and honestly, I'm glad we discovered it now rather than Monday. But, the damn thing is due in 11 days. I feel like this should have happened a while ago. But, then again, I need to not focus on shoulds.

I love the swearing conversation. I do swear, but apparently I don't break out the Real Swear Words as often as I think I do, because when I start muttering "motherFUCKER!" at, say, my work laptop when I'm trying to work from home, anyone who is around looks at me a bit startled. And then giggles. Pete says it's because me swearing is so darn cute.
