sj, I can't come to the F2F. You'll have to be there for me, then.
Also, ND is clever.
Seriously. Go. It's also about friends, more than anything.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

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.

The London police are getting in on the fashionista business as they advise bankers to dress down for the G20 summit next week. I don't think ironic cardigans are going to save them.
not to mention that it's all irrelevant, since they will be wearing coats to work (chilly in the morning), and no one's going to buy a new coat for the occasion.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, sj, please please please go to the F2F. Your going will be the last little boot in the ass I need to pull the trigger on booking my own ticket. (And, I'm about 99% certain, Matilda's too.)

Meh. My sis (who's here for the weekend!) won't be with us this year's seder (Passover's festive dinner). I just found out about it.
My parents, who knows I'm into CouchSurfing, gladly offered to make it an open seder and invite anyone who'd like to come. I think it's lovely of them. As long as no one will decide to experiment with drugs in the living room, it should be good.
I just posted an invitation there. I wonder who'll come, if anyone will.

Things have been blessedly slow around here, so we tech support folks are amusing ourselfs. One of my friends here popped is head over my cubicle wall and said, "I now know why you're so good at chat support and I'm not. When you rearrange the letters of your name you get Nice Online." I gave him the "That's clever and you're weird" laugh, and he went away.
I told Hubby about that later, and he frowned. "Why is he spending time rearranging the letters of your name?" I don't think I've ever seen him even a little jealous before. I didn't say anything, because I find it tacky when women gloat over that, but I was pleased in a Neanderthal way.

Well, I made it to Lexington. I'm now at my hotel, using the free wireless and trying to decide whether to brave the rain to go get dinner. I called a friend who's also here to see if he wanted to get dinner with me, but he didn't answer his cell phone.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Wonderful truth in the story about Andre the Giant on set tho.

This hotel wireless connection is really temperamental. It only works in one corner of the room, and it's slow, and it just refuses to load anything if I've got more than one browser window open.

JZ, no fair using your adorable toddler to try to get me to go to the F2F.
