omg I just figured out how to use the food processor my sister gave me to grate cheese. The power! I wouldn't even have tried it if the recipe I'm using for lasagna didn't assume I would be using a food processor to make the filling. And then I realized I can make Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish for thanksgiving! (when I tried it with a blender it was a delicious disaster. I had to throw out the half that included shredded wooden spoon.) Maybe the food processor is her way of saying sorry. Maybe I've had too much wine to be using appliances.
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.
Hil is having a bad math day!
This should not crack me up.
Hil (and this applies to all movies) if you analyze it, it will fall apart.

I'm looking for a face.
Which sounds weird, but I'm developing a character who's refusing to gel physically in my mind's eye, so I figure if I can just find an image to build her around, maybe she'll stop being so amorphous.
What I'm looking for is a woman in her early 30's who looks sort of delicate and feminine yet simultaneously tough and resilient. She doesn't have to be wildly gorgeous, but she needs to be reasonably pretty, and the kind of pretty that ages well. I'm picturing dark hair and light eyes, though I haven't settled on an exact shade for either. She needs to look intelligent and practical--the kind of person who'll keep her head when all about her are losing theirs--but she's also got a strong romantic streak.
Any ideas for an image that might fit the bill--actress, athlete, face in an old painting, etc.?
My first thought was this shot of Evelyn Nesbit: [link]
ha.both have big eyes and strong noses on delicate faces ---
Actually, I was just reading that a picture of Evelyn Nesbit was the picture that LM Montgomery had when she was writing Anne of Green Gables. She had no idea who the picture was -- she'd cut it out of a magazine at some point, and it seemed like the sort of look she wanted for Anne.
how about a Russian Bride? Oddly enough, I googled "strong woman dark hair light eyes" and this is the first image that I got.
