Did you ever work out how to use it?
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, there was some ring that we had put in that we weren't supposed to have put in.

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
My mom already got me a Magic Bullet. Or the mini version, at least.
Yeah, my Mom got one for my Sister. She really really wanted it.
This led to much merriment at their expense. What with someone somewhere committing a trademark FAIL when they named that thing...

Oh sweet jezis...

I should have waited a while to link. Then we could have gone back and read the longer discussion in the new context.
It's like Porny MadLibs.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Seska, how ya feeling?
Think I'm improving, slowly. I'm in less of a mess than I was the other night, when my fever was ridiculous and I was vomiting eveywhere. Lovely. Now I'm mostly exhausted, having some trouble moving around, and dizzy if I get up. Fortunately, I have a Girl waiting on me with anything I need. Tamiflu appears to be quick-acting stuff. I do enjoy living in this age of medical wonders. Thanks for asking!
I'll be working nearish to Hackney, I think, but we still have no idea where to look for flats or anything.
Hmm. Hackney's interesting - you either love it or hate it. It's a bit risky for me, so I live in (an exceptionally safe but a bit dull part of) Camden. Let me know if you want advice on where to start flat-hunting! Any estate agents in your area of choice will have masses for you to look at.

“Not dead yet!”
I think my printer is dead like a dead thing.
We had a powerflash (brownout rather than full blackout) during Saturday's afternoon thunderstorm, but everything seemed okay and hey, we didn't lose complete power and it was only for a second, right?
Right.
I went to use the printer this morning and it, well... wouldn't. Didn't turn on, didn't even so much as flicker with a "fuck off and die" message.
On the one hand, perhaps it's just the power supply and a replacement cord can fix it. And if it's dead, dead, deadsky, well, it's had a pretty good run and I've actually been thinking of getting a new one, since this one only accommodates standard sized paper and I have entirely too many occasions when I need to fax/copy legal-sized documents.
But so far, it's a Monday.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
This is the one I just got to replace my dead multifunction. I'm pretty sure it faxes legal size. It was bigger than my previous multifunction and setup was more complicated. But so far it seems to be working great and I'm looking forward to the four-color (two printhead) cartridges so that I run out of the colors individually and not all together.

It's quiet in here today. I hope it's not too much of a Monday for people.
Barb, sorry about the printer aggravation.
