[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.

We get a request for footage of the Titanic pulling into New York harbour about once every couple of months. At this point we just automatically send them the clip of the sister ship.

(My favorite, though, has got to be the request we got for footage of Columbus discovering America, with the helpful addendum "It's okay if it's black & white.")

I need to paste this on my fridge every time I wonder how Sarah Palin is popular.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's frightening, is what it is.

cereal with a side of mea culpa:

uh, smonster, I think I forgot to call you this morning. I remember turning off the alarm at 3am and going downstairs, intending to set the alarm in the kitchen, and then I think I fell asleep on the couch. Sorry about that!

Always Anti-fascist!

"That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo." You betcha. Even if nobody on Countdown has seen Buffy, they need to see those ones. What it is, is a Palin-bot. Also. Although there'd be no hope of surviving my crush if KO ever said "They made her so she growls!" But, hell, like there is anyway.

Also, NORA YOU ARE LIVING IN NEW ORLEANS HOLY CRAP!!!

If you feel like hanging at a local dive, check out the Half Moon. You might even get to see a hooker extraction.

You'll get through this, sweetie.

Or save some money and go with sock puppets instead of actors.

I'm sure Clovis and his minions would be happy to create some dramatic re-enactment footage for you.

I really appreciate you saying so, but I don't think that's necessarily true. Sometimes people just don't get better from things.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hey Other Agency -

Here's a novel idea: When you change the client information on someone who is not just YOUR CLIENT - like their NAME AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER - in the database that we all share, how 'bouts you let the other people know, m'kay??

WTFPOLARBEARBBQ?!?!?

Signed,
Just spent an hour looking for someone in the system who was there all a-fucking-long.

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.

Oh, Sean. I wish there were a quick fix for you. I've had times when

was all I could see. I started saying goodbye to my friends and family, started making plans to kill myself. I'm concerned that's where you are. Please don't. Please talk to your therapist about this, and your friends. Remember that some amazing people love you and would be devastated if you left them in that way.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sean, a few suggestions. No cure-alls, but things that may help.

Work with your therapist. Call your therapist if necessary. That's why your therapist is there.

Listen to yourself. Take care of yourself. Do things you enjoy.

Do something out of your routine. Doesn't have to be big -- I once got a lift from going into a cafe I'd never been in before and having a cup of tea and a muffin. Wasn't a big lift. Didn't last too long. But it got me through a few hours when I needed it.

It isn't your fault.

Listen to your friends. We don't have all the answers. But we may say a few things worth hearing.
