VW did one, if that's the project you're talking about.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

[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.

Right. Thank you, Aims.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I gave The Girl the entire Eddie Izzard back catalogue as a present.
Damn, you are the Best Fiancee EVER!!!

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

So very timely, and quite unlikely, really.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
OK. Third night of entertaining for Hanukkah. This time, six guests. Six of them. At once. On top of the four we've already made latkes for. Our kitchen looks like something made of flour and eggs exploded in it. Which is basically what happened. (We had fun when we realised the pan was wet, after adding the oil and turning the heat up. And when one of the menorahs fell over, candles still lit. And also when I decided I was capable of pouring wine for my guest, and realised after tipping half a bottle of the stuff over her that I really wasn't. Fun times!)

I have just pointed this comment out to The Girl. Every so often, she needs reminding ;) Turns out Sexie is only so-so (although there is a truly superb bit about seeing-eye dog training). I'm hoping the final one is as good as his early stuff.
Shir, what kind of work are you doing on oral history? Sounds interesting. I'm keen on life history research as a sociology research method. It might be involved in my PhD. (The currently-fictional one that I'm not sure is ever going to happen.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, everyone for the positive, helpful comments on my twin sister's pregnancy. She went in to have her blood drawn today and her HCG levels doubled in 24 hours (which is what they want to see). This has reassured her somewhat. We know the next 12 weeks will be a nail biter but for now, she is pregnant and happy to be so. We'll deal with things as they come.

So many thoughts to her right now. And to you too, Cash.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Very glad for her good news, Cash.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Shir, what kind of work are you doing on oral history?
Nothing much. One of the questions I have to answer is about oral testimonies. Personally I think there's nothing wrong with them and the von Ranke historiography just can't handle them and that's why they can seem difficult, but it's true that one needs a method to check oral history, a method modern historiography still doesn't have. But it's says a lot more about historians than the oral history for itself.
Just one more bloody question to answer and then I'll be able to go to bed.
Someone remind me to spit of the grave of von Ranke when I'll have the chance. Sadistic bastard.
Edit:
I hate this paper.
I am Aims.
