On a lighter, but more evil note, I bring you footage of a bird singing the Imperial March: [link]
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

[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.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Erin!
If you're looking for somewhere in Turkey other than Istanbul (and don't get me wrong, Istanbul shouldn't be missed), I recommend Kusadasi on the southwestern Asian coast. Kusadasi itself is a pleasant seaside resort town. But more important, it's an easy drive to the ruins of Ephesus. And you really, really should see the ruins of Ephesus.
I can't be as helpful for Greece. Other than must-see sights in Athens, I only saw Mykonos and the Corinth Canal. I highly recommend Mykonos. I got heatstroke on the Corinth Canal, so I'm not sure I can be fair to it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My hairdresser is from Mykonos. In fact, that's the name of her salon.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My condolences to Tim and Steph and the whole family.
ION, I think I've just about got everything packed. This isn't quite the same as being ready to move -- there are a bunch of cleaning things that I really can't do until the boxes are out of my apartment, and I still need to figure out where a few more things are going -- but I'm more or less done with what I can do right now. I can't lift the boxes well enough to stack them more than two high, so pretty much all floor space is covered with boxes. Final count as of right now is 41, but there may be one or two more. I still need to disconnect and pack up my Tivo and DVD player, but since the movers aren't coming until about noon, I might leave that until tomorrow morning.
Discovery for today: an empty spaghetti box is the perfect size to hold kitchen knives. Also, in the back of a drawer, I found those buffista business cards that someone made a few years ago. (Who made those? I can't remember. Whoever it was, they're still awesome.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
There is drumming happening again. Please oh please do not let this become a daily occurrence.

Ah, that TravelMuse site is fab. Thanks, everybody!
Downside to this gig? Now I totally want to visit Greece!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm hoping today becomes one of those family stories for Shane. One that makes him roll his eyes because people used to be so stupid
