Like that time I overlooked the porno mag on the toilet tank when I cleaned up before my dad came over.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I am very guilty of objects blending with surface they are on. I know where to look for said object, but it might be several layers deep. Since my move to TX, I am a lot better. Mom is 100x worse than me. When I was at my worst.
When in purge mode, I follow the maxim "when in doubt, throw it out"! Trying to teach mom that.
My father has a system. It involves shifting of piles. If he hasn't used it in awhile, it goes to the attic. If it's been in the attic for awhile, it goes to the curb. I can't recall if the period is one year or two. Or maybe one year to the actic, two years in the attic, then to the curb. Either way, a plan.
Books I save. It took a lot of pondering to chuck the magazines. Moving helps. Is it worth $1/lb? No?chuck it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. This conversation is apropos as I am posting in taking a break between cleaning all the things. Guests on Sunday. Seems to be the only time I can be arsed to deep clean. But it's also a beautiful rainy day, so we have the windows all flung open and airing the house out and it's just great.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, desert rain... I am envious. It's the most amazing smell.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Grrr.
Last month, my sister's phone was stolen. So I sent her a check to buy a new phone, but by the time she got it, my parents had already bought her a new phone for less than what I had sent her. She was so happy she had gotten mail from me that she didn't care about the check. She wasn't even going to cash it; she was just going to keep it in a scrapbook or something as a memento of brotherly love.
Since she had no intention of cashing it, I incorporated that money back into my budget and spent it accordingly.
A few days ago my mom cashed the check against my sister's wishes.
My mother, ladies and gentlemen.

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.

We had a great day in the Cape. Tea shop, yummy dinner, and a cupcake store, where we bought the yummiest cupcakes ever. Totally worth all the stop and go traffic we drove through to get here.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So. I am at at a rock and roll themed party (thus asking about a costume in music). They asked for a band name for Rock Band. Guess what I threw out and got chosen.
That's right.
Cuntyballs.
