Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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.

Anyone here ever pick up Lawler's® Cheesecake Miniatures Variety - 63 ct?

Someone at work had a box of these in the freezer.

$13.87 at Sams Club. I wonder if any of the Super Wal-Marts carry them?

Hmmm, we have the biggest Super Wal-Mart in the state, so....

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.

Happy Birthday, Sail!

85% is too dark for me. Once you pass 70%, my bitter-receptors start objecting.

90% causes me to muahahahahaahahahah.

There is a Stephen Crane poem that puts me in mind of how I feel about really, really dark chocolate:

..."It is bitter -- bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

Thank you, all! I had a nice birthday. Went to a travelogue of Hawaii with my dad. I've decided to start my own bucket list after seeing pictures of a sunrise from the top of Mt. Haleakela. Wow. That is definitely something I would love to see for myself.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart."

Joyce Carol Oates used this as a book title, btw.

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

I was trying to think of that, David, as soon as I saw it! You saved me from using valuable google-fu.

Sail, happy, happy birthday to you!!

My mom regifted me with a lotion sampler from B&BW, and I am strategically placing them around the house, along with various lip balms.

I will NOT be chapped and hangnail this winter, I SWEAR. One pair on bed table, on on living room table, one in car, and one on computer table. Plus the Big Ass Guns in the bathroom -- Neutrogena Scentless Body Oil to be mixed with salt, and Johnson's Lavender Baby Oil Gel for non scrubby days.

My face looks great for my age, but I am noticing my hands and legs are starting to look a little....hrm, pre-grandma? if I am not careful.

My ass, of course, will be silken upon my death bed. I may have a sunny-side up open casket. "FEEL MY ASS! TOUCH EEEEEET!" Then burn it, and drink copiously.

These are my official funeral instructions, btw.

But of course!

I may have a sunny-side up open casket. "FEEL MY ASS! TOUCH EEEEEET!"

With pleasure!

Then burn it, and drink copiously.

Salut!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ugh. Stressful day. But I handled it better than I have been lately -- when I got an email from someone pretty much telling me that I'd screwed up (and yes, I already knew that, thank you), I only got really anxious for a minute or two, then sent an email back apologizing and telling when I'd get the stuff fixed, and then sat down and fixed it. (Well, not all of it. But enough of it for today, and I can finish tomorrow.)

And then there was something else I screwed up, too, which is more about myself than about other people, so it wasn't something I could apologize to anyone for, but I did start trying to fix it.

And now I'm making spaghetti. Because two screw-ups in one day in an already really stressful month calls for comfort food, even if it is at one in the morning when I should be asleep so that I can get up to teach at 8 tomorrow.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Here's an oddity. Kentucky and Tennessee have been as much bellwether states as Ohio; the last time they went against the winning candidate was when they voted for Nixon in 1960. (I think they're planning to break new ground at this election.) The last President to win only one of these three states was Taft.
