take deep breaths and distract yourself with pictures of pretty men and women?
an excellent idea.
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[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.

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

sadly "James McAvoy naked" does not yield the google search results I desired. Mostly Mr Tumnus.

If you follow an imaginary line from the R in public radio to where it would intersect with an imaginary line drawn from the U in Russell Kirt, that's where me and Butch used to hang out when I needed to be alone with his dogness. Sometimes there was an egret, and there were almost always dragon flies. I don't think I realized it was supposed to be a nature preserve back then.

Congrats Kristin! Where do you teach again, or do you prefer not to say?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
You keep getting distracted by the shiny?
Heh. You're not wrong, and yes, Annabel gets the ability to get lost in the turnings of her own brain from both sides.
Actually, I've been doing pretty well this week. Every day since Tuesday I've been spending 15-20 minutes decluttering our living area and enough time in the basement to go through one box. After that, I come up and write three pages on the WIP. And that's all. I stop, even if I've got energy for more. The house is a mess, but every day there's more visible floor and table surface. I now know three boxes the Important Document is not in. And I'm still on pace for my current writing goal, which is to reach p. 400 of the WIP by 6/18.
If I keep this up for another two weeks, I might actually have...good habits. And maybe then I'll start applying them to eating well and exercising.

Our wings are not tired.
Kristin, that is fantastic news. I know you've been wanting increased responsibility and recognition, so this is headed in the right direction fer shur! Wish they'd give you more money right off the bat, but I can offer you a drinks on me the next time I see you! It's not a stipend, but it's a...drink!
And after today's meandering around Santiago, I might be the first person in recorded history who declares herself a bigger fan of Santiago than of Buenos Aires. The weather had a lot to do with it; it's right after a rain here, so the skies are blue and clear. Buenos Aires was worse then Beijing in air quality, and that's saying something. And in Santiago, when you turn a corner around a basilica or a Cafe Caribe, there's the impossibly big and beautiful Andes! Jesus they're gorgeous. Reminds me of Lucerne, the way they loom magnificently over the city.

Congrats Kristin! Where do you teach again, or do you prefer not to say?Burrell, I don't want to say on the board, but I would be happy to email it to you.

And honestly, I'm just excited about just getting the job regardless of compensation. Also, your trip sounds like it's been just amazing. I can't wait to hear all about it next time we get together.

How odd, I guess the board reset also reset my profile to an earlier version. I just changed it to include my email.

I keep thinking about how I used to deal with asshole customers. They are trying to get a rise out of you and if they succeed, they win. If you can keep your cool until they leave, you win. Keyboards are cheap and I can probably get five or six for free from my friends. If I can keep from meeting them at their level until they are out of my life... I win! I can always call the cops if I have to.
