If so, we may see you there.
That'd be aweseome. There are still a few seats left.
If not, maybe come by for the reading? I think we'll be going out afterwards to socialize.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I LOLed when I read your white font.
I said, "heh" but I'm not a native.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hec, by the way, we won't be able to do the reading. J has to go on a work trip (motorcycling through scenic Canada for a week, poor boy) and he has to get to LAX at 4:00 freaking am, so it will be a very early night.

That's fine. I expect after 4 hours, you'll have had enough of my voice anyway.

they removed the nutsack! I just saw the ad for TrueNorth and it now says, "A truly extraordinary... snack." I guess they hadn't done it on purpose.

Oh, I very much doubt it.

I wish I were mellifluous. At the moment I'm riding out the end of Matilda's cold which she was kind enough to share with me. I should be good by Saturday but there's an off chance I'll be alternating shots of whiskey and benedryl at which point the tour will get very entertaining indeed.
Also, I'll be doing various Tom Waits Trivia questions and awarding CD-Rs of live shows and such. I'm thinking I'll do a special Scrappy-Wins question and awarding you the bath oil I'm bringing from JZ.
Something like, "As we all know, Tom Waits is a huge roller skating aficionado. Can you name the roller skating move named after a Native American tribe?"

Ooh, that's an EXCELLENT question!

Need waking-ma. We have Open House tonight. There's no point in going home, but it doesn't start for another two hours, and my coworker's not coming back to go out to dinner for another one. I have to prepare what I'll say for 8 minutes to the five parents who might show up, and not fall asleep. Blargh.

Now, you'd think someone who has upwards of 750 cookbooks could think of something to make as an appetizer, right? It's not even for a huge crowd, just 25 or so. I know I'm going to make guacamole because it's Expected, especially by the Hub. (The man won't eat avocados in any form, other than my guacamole. I'm both flattered and shake my head at him.)
So Vat o'Guac and chips-- probably a combo bowl of Tostitos Gold and the Flour Tostitos.
I should do a veggie platter for the folks who like to be healthy with some sort of dip and probably some sort of cheese-- I'll have to see what looks good at Fresh Market. But I should have one more semi-substantial thing.
Problem is, there's just so much good stuff to make.
