[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My top buyer bought another car today, so he's out too. Just as well.

There's a lot in Oakland right next to the Coliseum that will pay you $1000 to junk your smog-failing car.

I saw that on the website, but I thought there was a catch. It only mentioned the biennial smog check, so I didn't know whether a regular fail would qualify. It seemed like a pretty sweet deal, so I was suspect.

It's a lot less money than you'd make fixing and Craigslisting the car, but it's also a lot faster and way less hassle.

In any case, it's already in for repairs, so it's too late now. Bye bye, money. Hello, money later? I hope? For fuck's sake. Less profit for meeeeee.

Also, as much as the little bastard is annoying me now, I'm rather attached to the stupid thing, and I'd rather someone else use it than toss it in the junk pile.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I think that, whenever you re-list your car, there are always going to be people who need to buy a good used car for a decent price. Always.

It does sound like a pain in your ass, though, and that sucks. Better if you could have just sold it and been done.

ION, I think winter will never end. Ever. And my insane boyfriend and his equally insane brothers and guy cousins are going camping this weekend. INSANE. Even The Joker would call them insane.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Some of the best camping fun I ever had was in Wisconsin in February.

This is an annual trip for them that they've been doing for easily 20 years, probably more. So I feel safe saying that they REALLY have a great time.

I still think they're insane. But Laga, if you're ever in this part of the country when they go camping, you are welcome to join them.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to sit on the couch under blankets, with a cup of tea, cackling occasionally in glee.

Right? I loathe camping, and I loathe cold weather. What they're doing this weekend sounds like punishment, not a good time.

But then he doesn't understand my deep love of the semi-colon, and yet we manage to persevere despite our differences.

Insanity definitely has something to do with it. Like, if your friend fell asleep on the picnic table and there is frost on his eyebrows, why not wake him up by backing up the hatchback to the table, opening the hatch, and blasting Scottish pipes at the car stereo's maximum volume?

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

Huh. Didn't expect my nap to be quite that long.

I want dinner. I don't want to move my shoulder. (After PT, those muscles are so tired that pretty much any movement is too much effort.) There doesn't seem to be any way to get food that doesn't involve moving my left arm.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

DH's interview report. actually , he saw 3 different people today ( that makes a dozen for those of us counting) , but they did ask for references. Also -- he is starting to get some more calls from other places....

Job hunting is so weird.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Job hunting is so weird.

Indeed.
