I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Though maybe that's passive aggressive as well.

Keep breathing!

Like maybe you're praying for money, because what you really want is freedom from the anxiety and insecurity of not-having?(just to pluck a not-hypothetical example)

Absolutely, erikaj. Lots of prayers ask for "shalom" too, which is not just peace as in not-fighting-right-now, but also "wholeness", "peacefulness", and economic security fits right in there.

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

Some people just don't Christmas List.

A good option is often an insane version of something they already like. I get my BiL Blue Mountain coffee. At this point I get it for him almost all the time, and he is always pleased to have it.

What is he into?

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

My DH is terrible at making lists and it is SO FRUSTRATING. It sounds like you got two suggestions, though--iron lamp or new sheets--won't either of those do?

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

won't either of those do?

Doesn't look like they fall into the price range.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Latest idea: an art print celebrating his return to eating pork. [link]

I love the Hermits United tee. I think he might even find it funny.

He's into: sci fi tv, comic books (does not read actual books), messing about with his phone, angel mythology, the Army, cooking but not fancy cooking, Happy Cola gummies...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

You should be able to get sheets for $30ish at Target, I would think.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'll really have to read that discussion at a certain point. I think faith is the last piece of personal belief that's left with the globalization. Only you and whatever higher power you believe in know what's in your heart when you're praying (or not praying). There's a reason I say about myself that I'm "mostly secular". Yet, most of the people who know me says that I'm living life with a clear religious inner-feeling/guidance, and I can't disagree. There's something very methodical about the way I believe.

Anyway, as I said, I'll do so later I'm tired from the demonstration, that went awesome (met 5 people I haven't seen for a while, one I last met 6 years ago. All Buffy-people, and I was shocked that I, who knew them all from conventions/friends of friends from conventions didn't know each other), but was absolutely toothless. But mostly because the VOD has free SGA, and mmm-mm.
