do we currently have any Buffistas in or near Portland, OR?

Isn't Cass in Portland?

(I only know the geography of the USA in terms of who's where, so please not to trust me as a data source).

Oh, wait - there's the Buffista Map.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Borrowing the internets at the bar. Fun thing I just did:

DJ: What is that smell? Is someone smoking a fucking clove?
CBB: I don't know. (Looks around)
DJ: ASHTRAY ON FIRE!
Guy at the next table: Oh my god! (Proceeds to pour his drink on it).
DJ: Yes! Pour alcohol on the fire, 'cause that's smart.
(Guy at the next table proceeds to throw the flaming ashtray into the trash can full of papery things and alcohol)
DJ: (Pointing emphatically at the cooler full of water) ICE WATER!!! ICE WATER!!!

END SCENE

-I should say, it ended well.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh, and Susan, I meant to respond to what you said earlier about having lunch with the romance writers and talking about writing slash--

Killed me. I giggled for most of the afternoon, imagining the facial expressions.

Compassionately intolerant

Computers sense fear and stress, and react accordingly to make your life worse.

Oh lord. In my world, deadline = paper jam. It's eerie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There's a fun place we went to during the SF2F,

The Lush Life Nail bar [link] That's also where we took Suzi for the secret santa outing. They let you bring in wine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I decided I needed the pedi after all. She just didn't use the scrub on my legs, and all was well.

He is confused by the black and white.

Oh, that's adorable.

It sorta reminds me of a story a friend told me about her niece. The quite-young niece dropped a cell phone into the toilet. [Edit: writing this, it seems like there must have been some story behind this - but no, that's not the story.]

My friend managed to fish it out before it was lost forever (still no idea whether she managed to dry it off and return it to use), and said "you know, when I was your age, one couldn't have done that".

She meant, of course, that all the phones had cords and were attached to walls and the like, so dropping them to toilets - well, even carrying them to bathrooms - was quite impossible.

The little girl opened big eyes: "what, you had no toilets when you were a kid"?

Hee!

Oh, msbelle -- exciting news! I don't know if I just didn't see it, or if it's back, but my grocery store did have the ranch mix powder today.

I have a friend whose little girl was watching an old movie on television when she was 6 or 7 and said to her mother, "What was it like when everything turned colored?"
