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.

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

Rotten, or just not real fresh fresh? A rotten egg is a pretty dramatic thing.

In broker times I've eaten many a hard-boiled floaty egg and never had a problem.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I usually sniff milk first anyway. With the kids around it's not like we've had a lot of opportunity for it to go bad, or even meet it's date. Well okay, sometimes the buttermilk gets a bit long in the tooth.

I'm trying to figure out my cable lineup, because I'm just really sick of Comcast not having TCM or AMC on the regular cable lineup. The cheapest digital plan looks like it costs the same as the regular non-digital, which can't be right, right? Googling came up with some complaining that, if you get digital, they also charge $18 a month for the cable box. Why can't they just tell how much each thing costs? I just want two more channels than what I'm currently getting! Why should I have to pay for an upgrade to digital plus a zillion channels that I'll never watch, just to get channels that every other cable company offers on regular cable?

Gronk. I'm exhausted, yet not quite tired enough to fall asleep. Too tired to concentrate on a book or TV show for more than about five minutes. And my knee is being wobbly, and I don't know why.

We're interrupting this with a (hopeful?) newscast:

Barak and Livni disagree with Olmert, want quick end to Gaza fighting.

C'mon, brain-of-Olmert. For once in this term, work.

In NYC this afternoon, there were three rallies -- a pro-Israel rally, a pro-Palestine rally, and a "third way" pro-peace rally. I haven't found the numbers for the pro-Palestine rally yet, but it looks like the pro-Israel one got about 10,000 people, and the pro-peace one got about 40. (Granted, the pro-Israel one had a bunch of high-profile people behind it and has been being organized for a little while, and the pro-peace one was organized by a blogger three days ago and organization was mostly by word of mouth.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Hil, I long for a la carte channel line up. Why should I pay for the Spanish/shopping/digital music/crap I don't watch channels.

Shir, I hope that peace happens soon!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

anyone else think The Divine Ms Maddow's partner looks a LOT like Fay in this shot?

...holy crap. Yeah, okay, it's a fair cop.

Although of course, hair is short now. But I have pictures of me looking quite a lot like that. Hmm.

(((Brenda))))

Nora - good luck with the new guy!

Shir - glad you got to see your sister, and that she got to taste The Famous Cookies! Fabulous! (Good job, Omnis!)

So, in slightly exciting mememe news, on a random whim I sent in the first bit of my dusty Eternally Unfinished Novel (tm) to the Dear Author website, and they posted it this weekend for their First Page Saturday feature! It's been enormously helpful getting anonymous feedback like this, and although I find myself thinking that perhaps I should just cut that whole section (since originally my book started differently, and then I ended up sliding in another section at the start), it's definitely made me feel all 'Hey, I should have another crack at this'-ish.
