No one deserves mariachi, Ginger.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.
In retrospect, one of the signs of the coming fail of my marriage was when my husband told a mariachi band in a restaurant that it was my birthday.
Well at least he didn't do it on a day that was not remotely your birthday, just to embarrass you.

One of the shows I did with Culture Clash required me learning the difference between Bandida, Mariachi, and...and... crap, forget the name of it. Richard described Bandida as "Carne Asada and Cowboys. If it has either on the cover, it's Bandida". Mariachi was, I forget the words he used, but it was far from PC, making comment on the outfits. The other major category (that I can't recall the name of) is the bulk of "everything else". Yes, gross generalizations. And I didn't realize it at first, he's not a fan of any of it either.

Always Anti-fascist!
My dad did that to my mom on numerous occasions. Sometimes I'm surprised he's still alive. I like mariachi bands, though.

Netflix is a teasing-McTeasey-pants! And for that, I am mad at it. It labeled Dresden Files as "Season 1" and by that, I thought there was more. Alas, I have consumed all 12 episodes in a few days. Humbug. For that, I will punish it, and watch more and make it tired.

Sean, feel free to stop by and meet Kaylee tonight if you aren't working!
I was working tonight. And will be again tomorrow. The next several days will be pretty busy, but we'll figure something out.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Kaylee is adorable!
They forgot.
That's awful, Scrappy. I can relate, though. The Girl's parents forget about not only most of the plays she directs, but also (on quite a few years) her birthday. In-laws who don't appreciate the people we love are frustrating.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
(It was my birthday. The fail was thinking I would enjoy the attention of a mariachi band and an entire restaurant.)
TCG is very much aware that he ever had a restaurant staff sing to me on my birthday, he would be a dead man. In fact, most people who know me are all too aware of this.

I find it more effective to point out to waitstaff that if anyone sings that there will be no tip, no matter who says I'm kidding.

Urgh, friendship FAIL. We decided to have bbq today sometime last week. I invited various people, all was good etc. My best London friend who I've known since we were kids, said on Thursday that she couldn't come because she had to study. I was all 'But meat! Margaritas!' and she said she'd see. I have just now got a text from her saying 'Hey guys, BBQ and margaritas at my place today!'
I called her and she said she just forgot that we were having a thing. Which I entirely believe because she's the most self-absorbed person in the world. Which I'm used to, but still. Come ON.
