Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

[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.

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

Hope you get some relief, bug. Abd soon.

I made an appointment for a massage using the gift card I got for Christmas. Thursday after work. So excited--massages are not in our budget, so I only get them if someone gives them to me, which happens once a year or so!

You know, I don't mind a restaurant calling to remind you of your reservation, but I think that it's really annoying for them to ask you to call and confirm.

“Not dead yet!”

Okay hivemind, what do you think would be the auditory equivalent of "undulating"?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

wavering? wobbling? ululating? vibrating?

“Not dead yet!”

Okay, context, line from manuscript:

And as if the house wasn't spectacular enough, the stage on which it sat—burnt orange horizon meeting the vast, blue-gray expanse of the Pacific, white-capped waves sweeping in with a subdued roar before disappearing with a muffled crash.

I don't like using both subdued and muffled and it's subdued that's making me nuts because that's not really the word I want. I want a word for the rising and falling sounds of the surf when you're standing at a distance.

AUGH.

ETA: Hec, is "tiki" usually capitalized or not?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Okay hivemind, what do you think would be the auditory equivalent of "undulating"?

Are you looking for musical terms like vibrato and tremolo?

Although "vibratoing" or "tremoloing" don't sound like words, do they? But they do produce many google results....
