Hey, and i had a really cool moment at the airport. Joe was asking why our friends don't get the immigration thing and i started talking about privilege. I was talking about the abled/disabled thing and saying that it applies to many things. Then ten minutes later this woman comes up to me and tells me that she overheard my conversation and she thought it was awesome to here me talk about it. I think she was saying that it was amazing to her to hear a white person acknowledge the idea of privilege. We talked for a few minutes and she was really great. Of course, i started the whole thing with Joe as "the buffistas taught me about..."
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That's awesome, Stephanie! I'm jealous. I loved Hawaii. There is something magical about the beaches.

Hey, y'all, thanks for the baseball tutorial. Seriously. Now I could meet Olbermann and not disgrace myself. Unless I really say "Mr. Olbermann, my friends in the box told me I couldn't meet you without wanting to lick you all over...would you mind terribly, sir?" Although, if my grammar is good enough, maybe I could get by with it. Probably not Too Much Candy, though. He did go to prep school...probably they like a letter of intent before you eat candy off somebody's neck.

Hil, that's for those wacky teenagers who love the neon and LED's. Sounds like a distraction to me. But hey, what do I know, I get accused of being too practical all the time.
Stephanie, that sounds awesome. Enjoy your holiday.

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
ETA: Kansas City, btw. And I AM thinking about throwing it in the F2F pot. Depends on timing for me.
If we go with the simultaneous time/place bid system you can pick the timing that is best for you.

aw man. They are talking about fresh baked cookies in Facebook, now I'm hungry for cookies, and the cupboards are bare. Dang it, I knew I should have gone food shopping tonight.

Yay Stephanie, that sounds awesome!! (both the overheard convo and Hawaii)
I'm still not sure the date and I have much in common, but since it's 1:30am and I just got home from a 7:30pm date, and we spent the last hour making out, I'd say it went well enough!

Huzzah for making out meara!
I am so not motivated to do any work today. I'm in the office by myself, I'm leaving early to visit a friend for the weekend, and the internet is right there. Sigh.
