I want to go to the beach. Or at least have a beer. (I'm watching TV. The show I'm watching has people drinking beer at a beach house. I'm easily suggestible.)

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

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

hey all. Much ~ma to everyone.
Back from New Orleans- had a great time and learned so much. However, I feel like I could sleep for about 10 days straight... and I don't feel so great.
I do have a kitty on me looking adorable though.

I think I'm having a "can't deal with this" night. Too many different things to deal with at once. Job stuff, pain stuff, dissertation stuff. Being in pain just makes it a whole lot harder to deal with everything else. (I've got ice and codeine right now.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Andi says I'm evil.
After work tonight, I stopped at a Fleet Farm, a combination Hardware/lumber/ag store in this area.
As I was at the till, they rang up my order, "Ten sixty six."
I immediately said "Battle of Hastings."
The two teenagers running the checkout Looked puzzled.
"Don't mind me, it's my brain, I sometimes make connections with numbers and years."
"Oh!" says one of them, "are you a history teacher or something?"
No, I replied, just the way my brain makes associations.
One of them gave example of their birthdate came up once.
Then as I signed my credit card slip, I decided to have a bit of fun, "Well, 1066 is a famous date in any case. battle of Hastings, you know, when England defeated the Normans." and walked out smiling.
I hope they don't have it on a test someday...

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.
Codiene~ma to you, Hil. I hope you get a decent night's rest so you can cope better tomorrow.
Dana, going downstairs is the best choice. You really did have to.

OK, going to bed now. Ankle still hurts, but I need to get on a better sleep schedule, so I'll read for a while until I can get to sleep.

Hubby and I do that! If it's a 4-digit number beginning with 1 or lower, we try to come up with the historical reference. It's fun pulling out "Sack of Lindisfarne" at the cash register.

Can't sleep. Too much hurt. Also, hungry.
edit: hmm. Late night search through my kitchen led to chickpea salad -- canned chickpeas, mashed a little with a fork, mixed with mayo. It would be better with some carrot, but this works. I saw a recipe once that had carrot and celery and something else and also some crumbled seaweed that was supposed to give it a fishy taste like tuna salad.

Can I ask why we're cheering the nuns in this situation, exactly? I'm all for health care reform, but the bill in it's current state (Stupak amendment intact) is pretty visciously anti-choice, which this group of nuns sees as a plus. They're campaigning on a platform of "this health care bill definitely won't pay for abortions, YAY!" Ew.
