[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.

Oh! That's a good one. So, it's not mean? I'm having to work so hard right now to not be mean.

For instance, I need to e-mail the financial aid guy back. His last two sentences are, "Please be aware of what you have borrowed in the past which includes both your private loans and federal loans as well. This will all need to be paid back once you graduate."

I just can't seem to start the e-mail with anything other than, "No shit, Sherlock!"

What an asshat.

Well, that or college students really are a whole lot stupider than I thought. And, today, evidence is pointing towards that conclusion. So, who knows.

I just can't seem to take it seriously, though. Dude, I was in your cubicle for almost an hour today. I think I made it pretty clear that I understand this will all need to be paid back.

He might be legally required to say that. There are a hell of a lot of rules about disclosure wrt fin aid that seem kind of dumb.

There are very few white wines I like, and I have recently discovered that I don't like white grape juice, either. Yet seedless Thompson grapes are delicious, even w/o skins.

The best part of the hottest days of summer is freezing seedless grapes and sucking on them like hard candy. Yum!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Susan, I rock two (two!) white-noise machines and earplugs. Those help me sleep like a baby.

Actually, the main noise machine is my alarm clock, which also plays CDs & MP3 players, as well as having two different alarms that can be programmed for specific days. As soon as I can figure out how to make that motherfucker brew coffee and surf the internet, I'm marrying it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Earplugs! I should probably try those first, given that they're the lowest tech intervention. Last time I used them was when I had a writing conference roomie who froze if I used my usual hotel drown-out-noise technique of blasting the AC all night, but they worked and kept me sane and her thawed. I'll just have to have the alarm set loud enough to get through them.

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

Heh. In Israel, it's illegal to sell bread "in public" during Passover. The Supreme Court recently ruled that supermarkets and restaurants don't count as "public." A yeshiva student protesting the ruling went into a supermarket and stripped down to only a sock covering his genitals and the words "this is not public" painted on his chest. When he was arrested, he claimed the law was against public nudity, and the court had ruled that a supermarket wasn't public. [link]

Heh. But the question is, if it is private property, was it his private property to naked on or did he have the property owner's permission to get naked? I suspect the supermarket would remember giving permission to customers to get naked...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Those help me sleep like a baby.

You wake up every two hours screaming your head off until someone comes in and gives you a pacifier? t /reflex

(Seriously though, where in the HELL did that expression come from?? Had the person who coined it ever MET a baby???)
