Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

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

Sean, I know when you helped out on my show, E was happy with your work. I can't imagine you changing that opinion. He's a pretty reasonable guy.

I know. And if anything, he's been catching it even worse than I have, and he's pretty unhappy, too. I guess it's just hard to remember he's probably not unhappy with me. At least I hope not.

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

Sean, nobody should be expected to work without food breaks. That's just crazyworld.

I think I might be getting sick. I've been sleeping pretty much all day.

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.

Askye, Rose is beautiful. She reminds me of a fluffy version of my childhood cat, Suzie - so much so that I burst into tears looking at her and knowing she was going to go home with you. I hope you have many happy years together, and I'm rooting for Sadie to have a new home (maybe with you) soon, too.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I am like the Valentine's Scrooge. Bah humbug!

I'm not overly Valentine-y, and I really DO hate to be all braggy (despite the title of this thread), but I fucking LOVE what I found for The Boy for VD (which I posted in Natter the other day): [link]

So, anyway, I have a resurgence of my GI pain cramp gas thing that medical science has been unable to work out the source of. Teppy, if you are around, were there any OTC remedies your doctor suggested when you had this type of thing a while back? I've taken some Gas-X but it hasn't had any effect (it never does in these situations but I live in hope!)

Did you take the mega-extra-strength Gas-X? I tend to take 2. (I'm having similar pain right now, which I think is due to the Wellbutrin dose being increased, goddammit.) Something else you can try is Charcocaps, which my doctor recommended, and I've seen at CVS in the same aisle with the Gas-X, near-ish to it.

That's all I can think of in the OTC realm. But believe me when I say I feel your pain. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go back down to a lower Wellbutrin dose, which wasn't as effective w/r/t being an anti-depressant.

You want I should find out for you? A little cross continental reconnaissance? (that just sounded so cool in the head. Um. I think I'm in need of sleep. And food. And Opening Night. Sean, are you sure we're not on the same show?)

Nah, thanks, though. It should be better after opening. If he still seems unhappy with me then, we'll talk again.

All is well that ends in pizza.

The one remaining exception is pronouncing UPS as if it were the plural of the word that is the opposite of down. Every right and good American knows to pronounce the letters. U-P-S.

I almost always say "upstruck" in regard to the vehicle they drive.

Mostly lurking...

I am like the Valentine's Scrooge. Bah humbug!

You are totally allowed.

I was going to say that I usually am too, but then I remembered that I've just always reclaimed the holiday in some way...just not a romantic way. This is the first time in 32 years I've actually been with someone on V-Day, so I'm gonna make the most of it. It may be the only time I do that. Or, it may not be. Who knows.

but I fucking LOVE what I found for The Boy for VD (which I posted in Natter the other day): [link].

That is totally wicked awesome. Just wicked awesome.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Speaking of delivery trucks, I would like to relate a story about my (now recovering from broken foot) mom back when she was working.

My mother was the shipping and receiving clerk for our local Kmart. She became familiar with all the drivers and would usually tell which one was from what company with a glance. Sometimes, however, there were unknown substitutes, but the deliveries came at certain times, so it worked out.

These she usually greeted with a "Hi are you [company name]?"

However one day the entire work area stopped still when mom called out to an unknown driver who came in the door, "Hi! Are you Frito-lay?"

He laughed and said "No, I work for Frito-Lay, but for you -- yes!"

Everyone, including my mom, had a good laugh at that one, then She said, "Oh-kay, you can go now."
