Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

[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.

smonster, I know - I was going to trawl for them, but tired and pain and similar fun EDS-y stuff got in the way. I'll get to it tomorrow, promise! :)

Hope your SI stops acting up soon.

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

I on the other hand, am celebrating completing a really stressful week at work. We had to let go a very well-liked person yesterday and I spent the whole week hanging out with him while knowing what was gonna go down on Thursday, and then had to do the deed myself. It was the right choice for the company (and for this guy, actually), but still a tough gig. Because of this, I just spent my lunch hour BUYING SHOES. Buying expensive shoes. Let me provide links for your footwear-gazing approval: [link] [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!

I'm trying to decide if I'm too much of a pacifist to be a professor at West Point.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy birthday, Hil!

You've had quite a week, Scrappy. I like the shoes, but the thing I'm envious of is seeing TMBG. I lurves Flood. You should hear Isaac singing "Particle Man."

Wow. I would personally find that really, really tough. My first girlfriend was a West Pointer and I heard lots of stories about being a cadet. (eta particularly being a female cadet, and a closeted gay one)

I saw TMBG in, umm, 1994? It's one of those bands that I periodically think, "Hmm, I should get some of their music" but then I forget.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I know someone who's a professor at the Naval War College, and I believe he's also a pacifist (although I could be wrong on that--he is an acknowledged liberal and has jokingly called himself a "pinko leftist").

It's a great job, but I'm still thinking about whether I want to apply. Need to figure out whether the pros outweigh the cons or not. (My officemate, by the way, said that the only reason that he could think of not to apply would be that being that close to Sing-Sing might not be safe. Because prisoners are going to escape from Sing-Sing and travel 20 miles north to terrorize people at West Point?)
