We just hooked up our TV. To the actual cable. So I'm watching actual TV for the first time in 4 years. It's weird. Not nearly as clear as DVDs, plus they keep stopping the show to try to get me to buy cars or get a Chase card.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

Oh, I'm home in my blissful AC. Thank GOD for AC.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Proof of how much I skip, skim, and generally just don't pay enough attention to What Really Matters In Life - I did not know of Dr Horrible's Sing A-long Blog until Just Now. Just Now!
me too!!!!!
lovely hair, Norah!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
lovely hair, Norah!
I just did a brief double take, then realized that she meant Nora.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I can't seem to keep up with Bitches anymore.
{{{Drew}}} I'm so sorry about your dad.
{{{everybody else}}} I'm not up-to-date but here's hugs for those that need them. I'm still hanging around the slower threads.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Just got home from the first half-day of the Pacific Northwest Writers Conference, and I'm having a great time. I love these things because for just a few days I get to be 100% writer. It's revitalizing and identity-affirming, since I fight so hard to find time to write. It's never in the margins of my heart and soul, so it's wonderful even for a little while not to be forced to keep it in the margins of my life.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just got back, and caught up. Drew, I'm very sorry. But it's good that you could be there, and your dad could be at home.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay for Susan's conference, and Yay for Nora's haircut.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I've skimmed to the end, apologies. Can't brane. Have the dumb. I finally caught up writing all of last week's feedback emails for the class I'm teaching (I can't believe I have six more weeks of writing those evil things) and replied to what felt like hundreds of emails that have been languishing in my inbox all week. I'm so very tired. I've been having trouble falling asleep every night, I'm so tired.
We drove up to Pasadena this afternoon to drop off one of the cars (I'd driven straight down from the airport when I got in a couple of days after Drew did, so we had both cars down there) do a couple of loads of laundry and re-pack. We're back out the door by 10 tomorrow morning to go back down to San Diego. I've driven over a thousand miles since last week. Oi. For good causes, obviously, not complaining. Just so very tired. Did I mention that?
So glad to be able to be here with Drew, though. Wouldn't trade that for anything. I don't know how much help I can really be, but at least I'm here.
Hugs to anyone who needs or wants them. You guys are the best.

Hee. Neither did the Girl--I showed it to her tonight!
AND, as we were talking of weekend plans, I mentioned people on the internet, and somehow mentioned Allyson's book, and she was like "OMG, I just bought that for a friend of mine! It's over there, on my counter!!" DUUUUUUUUDE!!! I was like "You have to read it! Before you give it to her!"
