Actually a number of the blackouts are being cause by the fact that we've got triple digit heat across LA and it's just the typical game of too much demand from things like AC units. My car said it was 106 out when we pulled up to the house a few minutes ago.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

“Not dead yet!”
Lewis just texted me from the conference. Apparently several of the stores in our area have been robbed in the last few days at gunpoint. Same group of thieves-- organized hits.
Dear God, I'm worried. His store is in one of the most economically depressed areas of the city. I mean, he's not going t be there for the next five days, but I wish he didn't have to be there at all.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I had a real good workout today. Tried a couple new machines, with success! But discovered the fitness center has a scale. Soooooo tempted to step on it. But know it's not nearly as dramatic results as I imagine. I will be happy with the bit of extra strength. The bit less jiggle. But the curiosity is driving me mad, even now, 3 hours later!!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My second experiment with dehydrating stuff is currently dehydrating. Granola bars this time, made with various sorts of whole grains, almond butter, agave nectar, a handful of dried goji berries, and a handful of pumpkin seeds. If this works, it'll be breakfast tomorrow.

Ya'll have lots of particulate masks, yes? That smoke is wicked on lungs.

there is something very satisfying about receiving a facebook friend request from someone you lusted after in college but who was more interested in some blonde disney princess, and seeing just how poorly they have aged together. Shallowness, i am you tonight AIFG.

best luck to lewis and co.
and yay for finger gauze! I had a wicked fall on my unfinished patio -- scraped knee, scraped hand, scraped arm and the bottom of a big toe -- well scrapped. Finger gauze keeps the taped gauze in place Very cool

Ouchies, beth. Be careful, please.
I have eaten the most perfect tomato ever, sweet and tangy. It was a yellow tomato gotten at a farmers' market. I sliced it, put a little mayo, salt and pepper on it. I may never bother to eat another tomato, because they will all pale in comparison.
