Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

[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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

How cold did it get in our office this weekend? Cold enough that my supervisor's aloe plant (which was next to the window) froze.

It's now up to 67 (actually 60 or so), hallelujah.

Don't those sort of temperature fluctuation cause problems with computers? It seems like there's be a risk of condensation or something.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I was proud of myself for getting my to do list done this morning, and getting to Mom's on time. However I left my wallet at home, which pretty much cancels everything else out.

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

The baby name generator knows I watch too much Family Guy. I put in my real last name and got Brian Peter.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Fuck. Water main break at one of our buildings that runs heat off a boiler. I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

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

I finished up some job applications and plans for my SF trip today. Now I need to decide what I want to do with two free days in SF.

I saw two Broadway shows over break. "In the Heights" was really good. "Bye Bye Birdie" was fun, and better than I'd expected, though I thought many of the casting decisions weren't great, and it's a show I've seen a million times.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Oh hurrah! It's all the way up to -4F (-20C)! Almost balmy!

It's a balmy 25F here, albeit damp and windy, and I'm looking for new ways to say "colder than..."

We have the traditional "colder than a well digger's ass," "colder than a witch's tit in a brass brassiere" and "colder than a tax collector's heart," which could be updated to "colder than Bernie Madoff's heart." I need more comparatives, damn it.

Also, Mr Peabody is all stir crazy because I won't go out and play. He has fur.

My officemate says he has never met a blond Jew. (This came up in a vaguely relevant way, in response to a story I was telling him about someone I know whose blondness and Jewishness were each, separately, relevant to the story, though the actual point of the discussion was that the person I was describing identifies as Hispanic, and the actual point I was trying to make was that there are blond Hispanic people.)

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

He may have met dozens, he just assumed they were gentiles. He's too scary to ask that though.
