'Safe'
[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.
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.

ETA: Of course Florin doesn't exist. Or does it? heh.
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.
Hey, we do what we have to.
My flight today had a connection in Detroit. At the Detroit airport, to go from one terminal to another, you have to walk through this tunnel with glass walls. There's weird synthesizer music playing, and colored lights behind the glass change color in time to the music. Those are the only lights in the tunnel, so the whole tunnel is turning green and blue and red in time to this music. It's so bizarre.
I went through that a couple of weeks ago. Seriously weird.
Sounds like someone'a trying to copy the magic of the walkway to United's C terminal at O'Hare.
