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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I spent the weekend re-reading all the William Gibson books I have. Started out with Pattern Recognition, and it went on from there.
Heh. I've got Count Zero right here. I picked it up at Half Price Books and reread the beginning (which I love) and figured I still had it on my bookshelves and, of course, I did.
I realized that the beginning of Count Zero appealed to the same sense of fucked up romance that I love about the middle section of the movie The Hustler. They have that same mixture of injury, recovery, stepping out of the world and your life with an extended sexual holiday with an unlikely (probably inappropriate) partner.

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

Count Zero interrupt.
I like CZ - possibly better than Neuromancer, though the overwhelming sense of thinking-style recognition that I had when I first read Neuromancer blinds me to almost all of its flaws. It's interesting to look at the parallels between Marly and Cayce - which I should do tonight. Yes.

I've only read Neuromancer, but I absolutely loved the scene where Wintermute calls Case on a nearby pay phone, and then as Case walks away, passing by a long bank of pay phones, each one rings as he passes it.
That was cool.

Yeah. Gibson's got a knack for those kinds of scenes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's raining, it's pouring,
This weather is so damn boring.

If only you could send the rain here.

Please. I'm not really enjoying the Countdown to Wildfires going on in the hills. Though I guess California would appreciate rain more.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I came to ask a question and got all caught up in Teppy's asshat employers, Kristin's paperwork nightmare, and apparently...a book orgy.
Anyway, I do have a cooking question. How do you sautee something without stirring it? Isn't that just "cook it on the stove in some oil?"
