[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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm glad ND's doing better.

Everyone else, I hope you start doing better soon.

I seem to be allergic to something at work. (Possibly work.) Yesterday afternoon I started sneezing and itching, and a few welts appeared on my arms. I ended up going home, instead of to the gym, and dosing myself with benedryl. (On the upside, I got 10 hours of sleep last night.) Today I'm slightly itchy, but not nearly to the extent of yesterday. I wonder what it is.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Heh. I think it's technically incorrect but often done in informal usage. I have my 'former English teacher' pride, though!

It's mainly an unfortunate attempt to shoehorn a Latinate structure where it didn't belong.

I feel like such a failure of a human being. DH took time off work to come up to my office and escort me home on the bus/tube as I was a bit afraid I'd fall under a train.

But! Am at home now.

My parents are visiting at the minute so I'm the worst tourguide in the world. Would you like to see the inside of my house? Yes? Then you're in luck, parents! Anywhere else, not so much.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You're welcome to read whatever I produce, although that will mainly be in (possibly illegible) note form, as it's a verbal presentation and group discussion. I will put 'email notes to smonster' on my to-do list for after the weekend.

Yay!

My parents came to France to see me, and we ended up having to leave Carcassonne (medieval walled city) rather abruptly due to me feeling ill, and had to deal with me being sick on the train back to Montpellier, and then take care of me. Fortunately it was just not yet understanding what triggers my IBS-type stuff, so I was better the next day.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Weekend?

Today- HH and dinner for friend whose last day at WORST JOB EVER!!! is today.

Saturday-Nothing, I think. Jon has to work for someone else, so I may just enjoy having the house all to myself.

Sunday-Parking Lot Pool Party and Cut-offs contest at Double Wide with Boys Named Sue! Hubs will be guest bartending there as well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I might finally get my lazy butt to the Farmer's Market tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm going to see my sister's one-woman show tonight and have a memorial tomorrow and I don't know what on Sunday. Hiding out and recovering from two days in a row out among the humans, probably, and clearing out the DVR a bit.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Kind of a messed up end to an obituary.

Michael Batterberry, Influential Food Editor

Besides his wife, Mr. Batterberry is survived by a sister, Anne Walsh, of Princeton, N.J.

He is not survived by Gourmet magazine, which ceased publication in November.

Something they had already written and amended badly, perhaps?

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

It's mainly an unfortunate attempt to shoehorn a Latinate structure where it didn't belong.

Is true. Like split infinitives. But it doesn't stop either from feeling wrong. To this frustrated prescriptivist in a descriptivist's body.
