Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

what's the exact quote that says that what is good is beautiful?

Truth is beauty, beauty truth that is all ye need to know?

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

Truth is beauty, beauty truth that is all ye need to know?

Pretty much, but I'm trying to track back to the Greek philosopher who punned it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Plato wrote a lot about the Good and the Beautiful, and how they were the same, and the model ideas by which everything else should be measured. Sort of, in a Platonic kind of way. There was probably a cave.

Hi everyone!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

End of first day trip report- made it through my nemesis state, Pennsylvania.

Ha! Virginia is the one I always considred mine (since there always seemed to be so much of it between me and the destinations I was heading towards).

Glad the boys are being good travel kittehs, and good luck with the rest of your journey!

“Not dead yet!”

I am in an inexplicably bad mood.

Huh.

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

Thank you, Jars and P-C!

(Funny, I've been looking into "The Allegory of the Cave" for some time now, believing that it can be measured against Lacan's "Mirror Stage" theory all of this time).

Jars! Hey, how's it going?

Good! Mostly. I've been pretty busy since we moved to London. Greg's had a bunch of trouble finding work, so we've been very short on cash too. That said, there's an awful lot to do for free in London which is really nice.

Greg's applying for jobs in New England at the minute, so if that pans out we'd be moving over pretty soon!

Other than that, it's freakishly cold here for May. I can only assume it's because Hell's frozen over now that the Tories are in bed with the Lib Dems.

I've been very skimmy on the board so if there's any exciting news I should know, do tell.
