Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

I'm sorry you're still not feeling well, Aims. If you can keep fluids down, that might help with the headache. Sometimes headaches are caused by dehydration.

Hi, all!

Happy birthday to JZ and Hec!

I had a great time on my little trip. My friend's new addition to her house looks amazing, and the weather was wonderful, and it was all lovely.

I have a ton of stuff to get ready for my class, and I am so brain dead.

I got some presents, too -- a large wooden tray, liberty of london nesting bowls, some really pretty ice cream colored nesting bowls, some undies, a framed and matted wedding photo.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I hate when mental health workers start saying things like "Have you ever thought about trying CBT?" *repeatingheaddesk*

Aims, feeling-better~ma. Sounds nasty.

Happy birthday to David!

Are we still on for half five, Seska?

Indeed we are, Jars. I was just about to text you to confirm. See you shortly!

Coolbeans. Leaving the office now. See you there!

Sorry for the threadjack. Erm, puppies!

Our wings are not tired

Drew, is internet wildly expensive?

The Internet I get is at the crew rate, but that is still $20 for 200 minutes. Keep in mind that is it like a low modem on a bad phone line for the connection.

The rest of what Kristin says is true. I'm fighting with the real guests for stuff to do. I might go bowling today or tomorrow if someone else from the Nick team is bored enough to do it. Single Malt drinking is tempting but it would be crazy expensive on board and I'm trying to keep costs under control.

Eh. It will be fine when I get to NYC. Also I'm not behind. This is the schedule we knew would happen. My tech time is between NYC and Miami. I just needed this time for a few meetings and prep but with a crossing there is no way to leave the ship partway.
