Argh! The universe needs to lay off meara's employment, like, right now! Sorry, doll.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

[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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Giant flying roaches on the other hand can fuck right the hell off.
This? Cannot be repeated too many times, imho.
It is a mark of how long I've been living in hot places that now I am so comparatively placid about a medium-sized spider just hanging out doing its thing on a wall in a hotel bathroom. I'm all "...shorter than my thumb? Disinclined towards scuttling as a lifestyle choice? Well okay then! Live and let live!"
Giang flying roaches, otoh...well, you know the drill.

Crap, meara. Sorry to hear it.
Though if you wind up taking a job in LA, *I* would consider it a net gain.
Your employment troubles are not about me, though...

Oh, Christ on a crutch. Meara, love, I'm so sorry. Fuckers.

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.

Also, Aims or MM... Tim, Liz and the kids want to join us tonight. Which means they'll handle the ride for me. Call me to talk. I tried calling Joe's cell and had a problem connecting.

And follow the link to the WSJ story, the whole thing is just... mind-boggling and makes me want to take Bertha to this sanctimonious bee-yotch. How DARE she mess with an author's career like this?
