[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.

Pix. Sucks that you couldn't get the cheaper rate but I hope it's a load off your mind and you can get to the fun part of wedding planning.

Yes, yes it is! I think I've finished most of the planning/coordinating at this point. I've bought dress, bustier, and shoes (still need to get dress fitted and get shoes dyed, but that's on my to do list for next week); reserved flights and hotels using miles, points, and cash; coordinated travel and lodging for my friend Kat (a NYC professional photographer who is going to take our pictures as her wedding gift to us!!); reserved the restaurant where we're having the ceremony; reserved wedding coordinator who's taking care of the ceremony details; emailed officiant about the ceremony (though there's still some more details ND and I need to work out with him); reserved and paid first half of LA reception venue/food; oversaw design, gathered addresses, and sent out Save the Date cards (working on invitation design with our friend C. now); worked out a date for the Northeast informal celebration with my parents; designed/created wedding website; figured out registry options and set that page up, including registering for some "stuff" for those who don't want to do the charity or other option; bought ND's wedding band and am currently having a similar one designed for me since they don't make the same ring in women's sizes....um....I think that's everything. I still need to take care of a lot of details, but the big stuff is mostly done.

Sorry, that's a lot of wedding rambling. I don't think I'd realized how much I've done in the past couple of months.

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

I think I just read my favorite swine flu vaccine conspiracy theory ever: the nasal mist vaccine implants something that makes you traceable by Obama. I'm not exactly sure why he would want to trace everybody, or why a sinus implant would be the way to do it.

Yay! I just got a request for a job interview! (From the one school where I actually completed my application.)

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.

Feel better soon, Cash.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay Hil!

Yay Pix! You have done a lot!

Flu begone from fair Cashmere!

Good luck, Hil!

Thanks. The interview isn't until January -- there's a big national math conference each January, and there's a room set aside there for job interviews. It simplifies the process a bit, since everyone's in the same place anyway.

Congrats Hil, getting an interview is huge!

The claim that raw foods are healthier because heat destroys nutrients has been pretty thoroughly proven false.

I know. That's what I meant when I said it isn't by definition healthier. But I've heard it works well for some. I have no bone to pick in this debate. For me, raw food = salad.

Thanks, -t. I'm pretty proud I've juggled all of that along with work, and I think the wedding/honeymoon and the party are going to be really fun and relaxing. (I'm also really proud of how much money I've saved, too.)
