I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My cat Ashton develops little bumps or zits on his chin when we use plastic food dishes, for some reason.

Mine gets those sometimes but he has a stainless steel dish. I have noticed that if I'm lax on washing said dish is when it happens. As long as I wash it really well 1x/week, we're good.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Bah. I am at work and trying to be productive, because there's actually a lot that needs to get done today, and instead I keep looking at pictures of my flooded city and wanting to cry. Doesn't help that I didn't sleep well last night, we still have no power at home, and I am worried about drinking our tap water. I personally got off SUPER easy with the flooding, so I feel like I shouldn't complain, but it is still really upsetting to see how deep the water is and how much of the area was affected.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Kate, trust me, it's traumatic. You have every right to be upset and to complain.

“Not dead yet!”

I haven't lived in Nashville for seventeen years, Kate, and it's making me choke up, seeing and reading the stories of what's going on.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Kate, when you're city is in emergency, and to echo Dana, you do have every right to be upset. We have a very famous line out of a poem here, "The man is the pattern of the landscape of his homeland". And it is.

And forgive my unAmericaness, but which city is it?

Thanks, y'all. Not much I can do right now but push on with my to-do list, but it's hard not to let it affect me. Not a good day.

edit: Shir, it's Nashville, Tennessee.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

We heard nothing on it here. Strange.

{{Kate}}. I suspect it's just as bad as seeing your city in war.

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

Paging Hil - recs on ankle braces? amyth has a torn ligament and probably needs surgery but won't be able to get it for a while.

Sorry -- I got mine from my doctor's office, and I can't find a brand name anywhere on it.

I just finally got the official offer from the first school that offered me a job. Another is supposed to call me sometime this afternoon, but they haven't called yet. And the third is supposed to contact me sometime soon.

{{Kate}} Don't feel bad about being upset, it's upsetting!

Whoa. Just got another email asking me for an interview. This one's from an OK school in a fabulous location.
