Yeah, when I was getting in my car on Friday morning, my neighbor said "are you going downtown? Cause there's no power". Rest assured if I had been, I would have turned right the hell around.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

[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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I got to my office and we're almost on top of the Metro Center station ... right in the middle of the no-power zone. The building had a generator going to power the emergency lighting and one elevator ... but we had not computers, no phones, no nothing (I had to borrow a flashlight when I had to go to the ladies' room!). And the A/C was off. Would have gotten nasty if the power hadn't come back on when it did.
However, we discovered that a previous person-in-charge of the computer system decided that a UPS wasn't necessary ... so we had to have tech support check over our server and make sure it wasn't damaged (too badly) by having the power cut off.

Happy Birthday Askye!!!
So it looks like I have way too much scrap metal to bring down myself. The car, and my back, would have rebelled. So I have taken SonusExMachina offer of truck and hefting on Wednesday. In the meantime, there is no room left to move about in my living room. Yikes!
I also started going thru what I thought was my school papers. Turns out it is papers from moms old house. One pile of which is medical records from my youth. Turns out when I was born in 71, maternity services were NOT covered by the health insurance!!!! WTF?!?! What kind of coverage is that?!?! Reinforces that conversation with ND & KT re: male-centered health care system. Crazy I say.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Happy Birthday, Askye!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Our lights flickered a few times before the sky unzipped, but thankfully we haven't lost power. (And the wind seems to have died down, so it any power lines were going to fall, I'm pretty sure they'd be down already.)
I have absolutely no desire to make dinner. And yet, I still want to eat. Such a dilemna.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Heading off to work - infinitely better today, thanks for all your concern! Love you guys!
Meanwhile - PC, what flavour of girl is it that you're allowed to court? One of my friends here in Bangkok (who's just lovely, and a very active member of my am dram group) is off to visit family in San Francisco, and she's absolutely adorable. If she had any marriagable neices/whatever, and they happened to be of an appropriate variety of Indianness, might you be interested in, I don't know, Facebooking them, or something?
I'm not sure if this is sort of intrusive of me? But I figure - she's awesome, and hot. There could be other awesome and hot family members out there, maybe? But if this is weird, then forgeddaboutit, eh?

Hee hee hee. Possibly, sure!

I would definitely like my wife to be awesome and hot!

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

P-C is wise.
And speaking of wives (okay, not so much for P-C), it's half an hour into Gay Marrying Time! W00t!!
