[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.
Happy New Year my Bitches!!! Love ya all. May 2010 bring peace and happiness to all we like.
120dB is flat out irresponsible for an extended period!I agree. No clue how long they kept that level. My office is on 5, performance hall on 3. I could feel the bass. Not just vibration, but thump thump. I didn't dare enter the theater. My ears are too valuable.
Morning, boys and girls. So far, 2010 looks much like 2009, but I've only been up for half an hour. Today I'm going to a dinner at The Girl's parents' home, following a memorial that they've had for their grandfather (they do this every year) this morning. I am already emotionally exhausted from two days with them - there's a lot of 'issues' there, from mine (inaccessible house with many stairs, family members who are massively and obviously uncomfortable with "the same-sex thing", etc) to theirs (mainly, cancer). Four-day migraine is not helping. I'm surviving on large doses of codeine.
All of that said, I'm loving Israel. I had preconceptions about it that were just completely wrong. We saw Ceasarea yesterday and we're hoping to fit in visits to Haifa, Galilee and Jerusalem. It's all so interesting.
This is weird and disturbing: my stronger-than-death sweet tooth is GONE.
I'm another one with IBS and candida issues, and a total sugar junkie (especially chocolate). I must go back on probiotics. It's difficult to find one that makes a difference. Sounds like yours is doing that! Wishing you continued reducing sugar cravings. Oh, and I hope you feel better soon.
Happy New Year!!!!!
Um, I'm going to take your new probiotic on the off chance that I stop liking sugar. M'kay?
Teppy, what is this new probiotic?? because a serious craving for sweets? Yeah. So, on the off chance that I have Candida overgrowth, I'd like to try it. Certainly couldn't hurt me, yeah?
Happy 2010, all!
So. I'm getting better, little by little. And got a list of "house chores to do" by my mom, so yay (this will be accompanied with music to keep me sane and happy). Also, no fever!
Naomi, I'm glad you're loving Israel. I'd also love to hear more about your preconceptions and how they turned out to be wrong, because that's always interesting.
ION. My God, the stuff I'm getting myself into.
Remember how I said a while ago that one of the Very Redundant Classes is getting better because I'm getting pretty involved in discussion trying to shift it into area I like? Well, it just got... something. This is a class of "Intro to Historical Thought", and could be so wonderfully interesting. Anyhow, next class will be discussing post modernism. I sent my lecturer the post modernism generator link, on one hand, and on the other, a segment out of Asimov's The Dead Past (Asimov, btw, is a great comfort these days).
She just got back to me, offering me to translate the segment I sent her and give a presentation for extra credit.
I don't really want to do it, both for lack of time and will to stand and give a presentation when 90% of the people in my class couldn't care less about it (this class), but it feels like a glove was thrown at me and now I need to pick it up. But for the greater good of putting me on the dean's honor list this year, it might be worth it. Not to mention that involving sci-fi/fantasy in my curriculum is one of my wettest dreams.
Also, Teppy, I wouldn't know myself without my sweet tooth, so I can relate.
Maybe someone stole it from you?
Teppy, I'd also like to know what this new probiotic is.
Happy New Year, Bitches! Last one in Florida and I found myself at the country club, of all places, celebrating with my in-laws, including my crazy-ass sister-in-law.
But I got to wear a pretty dress, the food was good, and the first band was smokin'. Which, of course, meant that the feature band sucked. Lead singer had a James Brown fixation without the vocal chops to pull it off. ::painful::
A couple of pics from last night:
Love the neckline on my dress.
Oooh, I love that dress, Barb! The way the colors change is dreamy!
Barb, looking mighty hott in that dress.
Happy new year my beloved Bitches!
It has been wonderful here in Otter Lake every day this visit. Gently falling snow all day and night. Everything is so pretty. The boys have been having fun playing. I plan to get outside in it eventually. For now sitting watching out the window has worked well for me.
Brunch is planned at some point today. I made a couple quiches earlier, one broccoli and a crab variety. My niece is doing french toast. Not sure what else is happening. I'm soooo very relaxed.
May 2010 be everything we've hoped for and more.
Snow pictures, unedited because I don't have my tools, but pretty. [link]
