'A Hole in the World'


Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.  

[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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I just found out my good friends Mark and Silvie had to evacuate last night due to the big fire raging in Santa Barbara county. Silvie is 6 months pregnant. Any ~ma you can spare for no burning down of the house is appreciated.

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

I'd probably be a much better person if I weren't thinking, "That is *so* like her."

Welcome to the bad people club. When my friend Sam's wack-a-loon ex-girlfriend died overseas under questionable circumstances we were all (except Sam) speculating if it was a pimp or a dealer. We never said it to him, to him we just said we'd do what he needed -- which is all anyone can ever do anyway.

Less than an hour ago, I very nearly rear-ended a car with the bumpersticker "Liberalism is a mental condition."

Man, I'm enough of a child of the on-line discussion age that I want to print up retort bumperstickers. Like, " Thinking is not a mental condition. "

I also always wanted to make mock stickers of this [link] that say "MOM -- Opie & Anthony want to see her tits" and see how long people would drive around with them before noticing.

Speaking of students, I just had to leave the Reference Desk and put up a sign for people to find me in my office because one of our students was chewing a big wad of gum so loudly with his mouth open I was grossed out.

SURELY you have a "no gum in the library" rule that you can enforce? It can't be any better for the materials than food.

Thanks for all the ~ma. Presentation went very well. DONE!!!!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's an order that puts a very high priority on education.

When they were founded, their founder (foundress?) really emphasized living and working in their communities, rather than locking themselves away in cloisters. Which was pretty radical at the time.

They're fierce, and I really admire them.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Committing suicide, or having a heart attack, or getting hit with some other kind of tragedy does not actually change who you are as a person or what your behavior is. I think "that is so like her" or "he's still an asshole" or whathaveyou is a totally justifiable reaction, and totally different than "good, he deserves it" or "I'm glad she's dead."

Presentation went very well. DONE!!!!

WOOOT! Hooray!

Also, ~ma for Tom!

A colleague and I kept track of how many dead grandmothers a student pushed forward as an excuse one year. 6.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Good grief. That's dumb. (Also, I had no idea you still had to request applications by mail--can't you download everything on the internet, these days?)

Well, it's a special application for my program. Because the stupid Director of Admissions resists all change, I can't put it on the online application.

Punishingly Intricate

Joe Biden's sister, who is one of his closest advisors and lived with him and his boys for years after their mom died, is a graduate of my school. She spoke at my graduation!

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

Makes squinty eyes at Aims.

Don't make me cut you, either.
