[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.

Seattle had two major street parties going last night, one on Broadway - the main street of Capital Hill, the young/gay district, and one on Pike which connects Capital Hill to Downtown.
Awwww. My smile just lighted up, because hey, I KNOW THESE PLACES. I landed in Seattle in the beginning of August 2007 and loved it, very very much. One of my top 3 places in that travel (the others were Portland and Los Angeles. NYC would probably make the list if I would stay there longer, but it still had the best food I ate on this travel).

And oh wow, Buffistas~ma sure is powerful. I can now move my upper lip more (still not 100% - more like 60%, with pain on some of those %), but hey, now I can see the stitches! Thank you guys. Only 22 more hours to go!

Great article on Michelle Obama from the London Times [link]
Favorite quote:
In the last American election, the big question was this: who would you most want to share a beer with? In this one, it was more like: who would you like to share a Martini with? The answer of course being Michelle. (Barack could maybe make himself useful by popping out for some crisps.)

Turning back to the fact that my house still looks like a tornado hit it, I've addressed the fact that cooler weather is coming and like many Florida homes, we don't have a coat closet.
Which is stupid, because it still gets damned cold here in N. Florida.
So I just ordered this coat rack.
Now, if I can only get the kids to actually put their jackets on it.
Yeah, I know, but at least I'm making an effort.

I have a very soft spot for coat and hat racks. Not necessarily putting anything on them, I think they're pretty as they are. They just have charming personality for a furniture, you know?
It's very pretty, Barb.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Nice rack, Barb!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Laga, that has to be just for the county, right?
Ah you're right, that is just LA County. But there are a lot more votes to count.

So it looks to me like Obama got a bigger margin, percentage-wise, than Reagan did in 1980. Am I wrong?
