Vortex! I bow down before your cooking-fu. Knowing my luck, they would have been charcoal.
How are things with your mother?
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

[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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

She's still driving me batty. She's just really thoughtless sometimes. Like I had to do something because she wouldn't just tell the people "Hey, you said we'd do it Thursday, now you're saying Friday, I can't do Friday, let's reschedule". I go to pick up the thing that I have to drop off, having called her literally TWO MINUTES BEFORE to say that I was on my way, and running really late, and she's vaccuuming, so she can't hear the door. I get to stand outside and bang on the door, ring the bell, call her cell phone, etc. @@

Good grief. I know she's always been like this, but it's getting worse, isn't it? This is a tough time for her, but I'd like her to realize it's a tough time for you too. I don't want her to see you as a substitute that does everything that your dad used to do. K and I are still out of state, aren't they? Which means teh crazy falls all on you.
I am available to act as backup if you want to stage an intervention. I am also available to consume copious amounts of alcohol with you. Whatever makes the aggravation stop.

I think that it's not so much that she's worse, it's just that I'm getting a lot more exposure.

I'm sorry. It's just shitty all around.
You know where you can find me if you need to vent. I'm not adverse to driving multiple times around the Beltway while we sing cheesy songs at the top of our lungs.

Heh. This cheered me up. Check it out - a leaked transcript from Rahm Emanuel and Blago:
Highlights include statements like:
EMANUEL: Um, I don't know, what's it supposed to mean governor? A.) You're a fucking crook. B.) You're a fucking asshole. C.) All of the above.

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
OMG, that's magnificient.

So we're at a party playing Apples to Apples for a few hours, which is a game where you get a card with a word, and the other players have to play a card that they think matches it. The card Pete just drew? "Adorable"
