Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And now you never will, so there.

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

ND, if you want me to go back and edit, I will -- I was piling on Kristin's a bit, and mostly coming from this:

immediate family should have at least a 2 week period before someone gives them a "talking to," subtexty or not.

kind of place. I do feel like you didn't need to catch the brunt of it, especially since I know those clubs have good communication channels that could be helping you rather than landing on you - but if it's hurting more than helping, I'll happily edit to make myself look crazy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah but I also never became a mason

You should have...um, Mason family rollover minutes or something. For a year. Geesh. Like being on a parent's health insurance till you're 18.

Our wings are not tired

It is just a lot of unfortunate. I need to call tomorrow and figure out where the ball got dropped.

Forgive me, Drew, but...the gentleman who called you? Wouldn't he be doing this? I mean, he is part of the organization.

I understand you might feel obliged to do this, or that it is a courtesy you must attend to personally; you just have so much on your plate, I am wondering if this is something you can let others do?

It is just something else to add to the list.

Things like that always happen and become emotionally fraught with death and funerals. I'm just sorry it's adding to your stress, Drew.

I can teach 19th century American literature at Buffista Academy. There will be no Henry James.

Evil lists.

Ginger, will there be Wharton? Love me some "House of Mirth."

And I know she's French, but I also love me some Colette. Anyone read the Thurman bio? So interesting! All I seem to read bios of are eccentric lady artistic types-- Colette, Millay, Parker, Kahlo, even Zelda Fitzgerald, although she wasn't a consistently GOOD writer and she wasn't so much eccentric as genuinely mentally ill.

Oops. Tangenty. (But if anyone knows of any other well-written bios of lady (or gentlemen) artists, let me know. I'm trying to get my hands on a bio of Natalie Barney I saw at a used bookstore last year -- should have nabbed it. )
