I can remember so little about our visit to Greece. And I was in my 20s. Do it better than I did, Calli!
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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.

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

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sounds wonderous, Calli!

Hil, I totally missed the news about your mom. I'm sorry. ~ma to you all.
Calli, I have a couple of good friends (not Buffistas) in Athens. If there's anything you need or want, you can email me and I'll contact them.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Good morning! It's 7:40 am on a Saturday and I've been at work since 6 am, and I've already performed a major miracle!!! t pats self on back
Dear festival organizer: when I get two dumpsters moved on 8 hrs notice on a weekend - especially when those 8 hrs are OVERNIGHT - because heavens forbid someone has to look at a DUMPSTER - you owe me. Like, HUGELY. And the truck driver. I want a mani pedi at the salon of my choice whilst Alan Rickman reads me Trixie Belden novels and Jason Momoa gives me a shoulder rub. And possibly a unicorn. You'll have to ask K what he wants.
Right, now, off to save the world some more. Toodoloo!

I want whatever smonster is on. This can't be coffee.

No earthly coffee, anyway.
So, for reasons unknown to me, I was reading an article about what not to do on cruise ships on travel.aol.com and found this in a section about how you shouldn't assume pirates are part of the entertainment:
...there was a cruise ship attacked by these scoundrels in Gulf of Aden (near Oman) in 2008. Though that was a scenario akin to Chihuahuas attacking a Great Dane, anyone who has ever met a viscous Chihuahua knows, they have sharp teeth.
Now, I myself have never met a viscous Chihuahua, but I find myself wondering how they could have sharp anything, really.
eta: Also be aware that "storms and rouge waves similar to the one made famous in Sebastian Unger’s book The Perfect Storm..." can happen. Also, one should beware of viscous mascara pirate waves.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just talked to my mom. They're moving her out of the ICU and onto a regular floor, and she might be able to come home tomorrow.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so glad, Hil. Lots of continuing-recovery and quick-discharge~ma to your mom.

That's great news, Hil. Best to her.
