And, the last time I was hit on in real life involved a man on the bus who thought I would be a "good provider" because I had a job.
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.

Ya, I haven't had much luck from OKcupid, no luck from Match.Com. didn't even try eHarmony.
Well, in less self-loathing news, it is clear to me that my CSI:Vegas addiction is not going away any time soon. Thanks to Spike, I've seen every episode (or, at least all the Grissom ones) seven times over, or more, and still? If it's on, I'll watch it. Now, if there's something else on I might want to watch more, I'll check which episode, but still... Also, between Lady Heather, Sam Braun, Ellie Brass, Conrad Eckley, and that one Under Sherrif, that show has some of my favorite recurring characters ever.
And Drew and I were talking the other day about how Jim Brass is probably our favorite TV detective ever.

How many CSIs are there now? Two? Three?
Is camp meeting just a Southern tradition?
I think it hung on longer in the South, but I know some towns in New Jersey (several down the shore, at least one, Mt. Tabor [link] in the burbs where I grew up) were originally camp meeting sites. Largely a Methodist phenomenon 'round here iirc.
The town next to Asbury Park [link] (historical home of The Boss, now full of punks and gays and all that both bring), Ocean Grove [link] still IS. Ocean Grove is as staid and dry and AP is not. The association owns all the property and has a big hall where they still do stuff. They lost a suit a few years ago when they refused to rent their beach gazebo to a gay couple wanting to have a commitment ceremony
Meh. I went to the store, walking Frankie and getting cat food and ground coffee (hallelujah), then came home and watered plants and turned on the computer and... caught up on Google Reader.
Oh well! Tomorrow's another day, yadda yadda.
There's an area on Martha's Vineyard that was originally built as a camp meeting site. It's full of tiny little cottages with jigsaw trim painted in bright pastels.
This article has a picture of some of the cottages at Wesleyan Grove, the camp meeting site on Martha's Vineyard. [link]
Dammitall. I think all this frozen meat in my freezer is bad. That's a lot of money in there. And it's cruelly ironic, considering I'm about to go back on the low-carb diet.
