You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

[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.

This is kind of a pain in the ass, but can you scan it as a graphic into Word, then overlay what you want (i.e. retrace the green lines thicker, put a white box over the old title, then do a text box in the new place). In fact, I could probably do it for you tomorrow.

Thanks, but it's ten files, with a bunch of different fiddly things going on. I think my best bet would probably be to just redo them -- there are a few other things that I think I can make better. I've got some time tomorrow -- I should be working on my dissertation, but I'm kind of stuck on something, and my advisor has not responded to any of my emails asking about it, and I don't really want to spend time writing something that I'll end up deleting.

Flats, sfety pins, got it. I don't do heels anyway. Do I wear a sleeveless shirt underneath the sari?

Also I understand I am supposed to cover my head at temple. I figure I really can't use something like an old baseball hat or a gardening hat.

Last time I was at a Sikh temple, most of the non-Sikh women covered their heads with scarves. I think I used a bandana, because it was kind of short notice for me and that was the only thing I could find, and it was fine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hil, I commend you for looking for something in addition to color to differentiate lines. I like the pretty, pretty graphics, but my colorblind husband and all others of his ilk really need other cues.

Oh, I hadn't even thought of that. Now that I am thinking about it, there's something else that needs to be fixed, too.

Scrappy is wise. And color isn't always easily reproducible, so I always thought graphics supported by rules and text boxes were a best of bothworlds scenario.

Tonight's TV scheduling amuses me. Charlie Brown Christmas is on at the same time as NCIS. NCIS tonight is a repeat. You don't go against the big guns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a sneaking suspicion NCIS was going to be a repeat anyway, unless there's another reason NCIS:LA and The Good Wife are also reruns.

Unless that was the big gun...
