I would normally want an apple cider donut, but I'm stuffed. We had Mom's clam chowder for dinner along with a pizza that I made with caramelized onions, goat cheese, heirloom tomatoes, and fresh basil. Washed down with elderflower presse, which I was too excited for words to find in the market today.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question 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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hate Hil's new officemates.
Love the dorks in Vermont!

Hil, what did you do in a past lifetime to warrant such asshats for office mates??
As for laptop & long typing, can you buy a keyboard and USB into the laptop? It's what I do at my work desk. I hate using the laptop keyboard. No number pad, palms get warm. Blargh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
one of them says that the reason that New Orleans still has a lot of sections that haven't been rebuilt is that FEMA gave gift cards to each of the survivors to use on rebuilding, and a lot of them spent them on alcohol and pornography instead.
Can we just ban people from talking about Katrina?

Thanks, it was if I do say so myself. I used Trader Joe's whole wheat dough for the first time, and it was also yum!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I might try getting an external keyboard and mouse for my laptop if the computer situation gets too bad, but that'll take up a bunch of space on my desk, which has not enough space already.
Do any companies make some kind of stand for a laptop so that the screen will be at eye level? When I try to type with the computer on my desk, it always seems like the screen is much too low.

And speaking of completely other things, here's a terrific tribute to the late lamented plus-size magazine Mode! Someone has put scans of issues online. I wish someone would bring this magazine back--it was really terrific.
Man, I *loved* Mode. It was a kickass magazine. I'm going to have to check out the scans.
