You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Though, I don't know. Maybe your light fixtures do look like props from Phantom of the Opera.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

On the plus side for your living room: absinthe and snarking from both SH and the Stroppy One.

On the plus side for the Castro: grand surroundings, and two thousand snarky gay men appreciatively oohing and ahhhing at all the things that make you ooh and ahh.

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

Ahaahaha. I would say offer it to Cass or Trudy.

Trudy has an album signed the day it dropped. She's good.

Do you honestly think Pete would let me have those in the house? No matter how gloriously over-the-top I think they are?

I'm certain of it. There's no possible way his refined and discriminating designer's eye could ever object.

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

Someone a couple blocks away is blasting "Blue Bayou".

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

You know what will be my favorite thing about graduating and getting a job? Having my own office. With a door that closes. (Of course, with my luck, I'll probably end up getting a job somewhere where new professors get cubicles.)

Are there any kind of earplugs that don't go quite as far into the ear but still work? I got the foam kind that you squish and then put into the ear canal and then let expand, and they work pretty well, but they sometimes kind of hurt.

I do not understand how people can work while there are three other conversations going on in the same tiny room.

Thanks, Laga. The kind I was already using is one of the top-rated ones there. I guess I'll try some of the others that ranked higher for comfort.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I use these, Hil, and find them way more comfortable than others I've tried. [link] They're soft enough that I can sleep with them in without feeling it.
