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'm sorry, Joe & Aimee.
I have to say, when I read your re-telling of the inaugural address, I thought to myself, "I wish I could get MM's Re-interpretation of the News every single day. And then, I'd like him to start on a Re-telling of Historical Moments, too." I meant to post that at the time, but, you know, it seemed a little demandy. And then time passed, as it does... so this seems like a good a time as any to say it, after all.
God, I am tired of my body right now. My feet, my back, my wrist AKA the misshapen claw. Bah.
I've given up for now on trying to clean this place. New plan is lying on the couch and watching Mamma Mia. Maybe I'll clean some more tomorrow.
I am with ya Hil. Thankfully my guests are running late. Who knew the maid service had a 3 week wait list. You'd think if business was that good, they'd do 4 days a week, not 3. Anyhow, kitchen, bath, dining and living rooms are clean, save the floors. Sheets & towels washed and ready. Just gotta slide a few boxes into the bedroom, and hang the clothes in the dryer. Phew. I'm tired.
Oh damn. I'm so sorry, Miracleborns.
MM, sorry to hear about the need for job~ma. Definitely sending some out for you.
Hil, that tech does sound creepy. I do think his supervisor(s) should be communicated with.
Hil made my head go BOING with her talk of a house somewhere with Andy Dick and Rodney King inside it, and called Sober House to boot. And it's a real show, really on tv? What is wrong with people? Do we have no dignity or sense of shame?!
I watched an episode of this. Didn't really want to, but it happened at work, in a situation in which I really had very little control over the remote. I was baffled, professionally, by it, and said so out loud. The work that people in that situation must do in order to beat their addictions is so difficult already WITHOUT being surrounded by television cameras, that I do not see how the professionals running that place can be party to it, ethically. My opinion of that Dr. Drew person is not the highest to begin with, and this kind of crap does not inspire respect for his judgment. As for the staff of the house itself, I wondered aloud how the house manager could believe this was any form of therapeutic environment. The coworker who had turned it on agreed with me. And kept right on watching. Next week I need to make sure to have a book to read in another room while the show is on.
I should say that I kinda get the train-wreck-ishness of it. But I generally shy away from the kind of drama this show represents. It just does not work for me.
AAAAAAGH. Had kind of a breakdown tonight. Drama. Hate. Also hate brain chemistry, because I suspect some of this is just post-migraine neurochemicals. BAH.
Can't deal. Hope things will feel better in morning after good night's sleep. Ack. But if it doesn't....BAH. And meanwhile, ACK.
ARGH.
Meanwhile, hugs to Aimee and MM. Been there, so much. Have recently been fearing being there again, so I sympathize, evermuch, oh yes. Big big hugs.
Sits with Meara.
I had one of those late afternoons where I completely lost confidence in what I was doing, and whether it would take me where I wanted it to go. Nod to the power of the migraine. But also cautionary tale as to the results of burning the candle at both ends. Which is my other superpower.
We'll see. I'm going to be hopeful a bit longer.
but hugs to the bitches because we needs them.
Hill - that is a freaky hospital visit.
...it's morning. And no one is posting. Eeeeerie.
Well, I'm...up. My throat hurts. I'm going to go get some coffee, and hope things look brighter. Right now my brain is still pretty much running in the same loop from last night, though at least I'm not crying like I was.
I hope things improve with food, meara.
yes, you should have something other than coffee.
despite breakfast coffee and a walk I am still having problems with basic things, like typing.
