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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

As he is able to turn his head while sitting, don't forget to test his hearing.

Oh, his hearing's fine. In Australia every baby gets a hearing test just a day or two after birth as long as the parents don't object (why would anyone object?) - I think it's quite awesome they can do this so young - and gets checked again when they get a check-up with the nurse. (We have a check-up today in fact, in a couple of hours.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh excellent! We're looking forward to seeing any and all pics.

Matilda loves her new dollies!

Oof, that's no good, Hil. Is there somewhere else you can go work, if you're doing non-computery stuff? (I've been working in a faculty lounge, and it's usually mostly empty)

Most of what I'm doing is computer stuff. The math lab is usually full of undergrads. The computer lab has only two computers, and usually the undergrad math majors who are working on research get priority for those, since they don't have office computers.

New discovery: pepitas make an excellent addition to caesar salad.

LA geography question: if someone's address is in North Hollywood, where is that in relation to the fires?

Oh yay! She looks so happy! I can't wait to show Abby in the morning.

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

if someone's address is in North Hollywood, where is that in relation to the fires?

A safe distance away.
