Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

[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 only in London for one day. No specific plans for the day, other than seeing the play in the evening.

I also suspect at least some of the friendliness I experienced in Italy and (briefly) in Paris stems from the fact that I am able to say hello, goodbye, yes, no, please, thank you and "Sorry, I am an American and I don't speak your language very well" in Italian, French and German (for the few German tourists we ran into), with rather impeccable pronunciation.

Also, as an aside, I was very VERY amused by Italians speaking to each other. Pretty much every time I watched two or more Italians speaking to each other, I found myself wondering, "Is there gonna be a fight?"

And I strongly suspect that each time, they were having a friendly conversation about the weather, and were in complete agreement with each other.

Sure, but its easier to be utterly achingly charming to someone if you can cuss them out with them standing right there and they don't even know it.

I'm really trying to bite my tongue on this one, because it was a crap travel day, and I know that I am in general in a very down mood, and have been for a very, very, very long time, but Trudy, why are you trying so hard to crap all over my Italian vacation, and the one real bright spot I've had in quite a while?

It's really unwelcome and unappreciated.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Just being silly, Sean. Sorry if the joke didn't read as joking. I'll resist the urge to try and defend the honor of London with great flourishes of hyperbole lest you think I'm trying so hard to crap all over your opinon of London.

If I only had a day in London I'd go to the Tower. It's full of ghosts and history.

Our wings are not tired.

Travel days are often just crappy in general. I hope the last day of your vacation, and London, are fantastic!

Yeah, I think the PixDesigns will come up with a name when they finally get to actually meet and love their new puppy.

Really? That's what you come back with?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You could easily spend your whole day in the British Museum. The Victoria and Albert is also pretty awesome.

I hope you have a good day in London tomorrow, Sean!

I remember seeing a BBC tv movie about The Knowledge (which might have been called that, for all I know) back in the 1980s, IIRC.

Sean, I honestly was not trying so hard to crap all over the only bright spot in your life.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
