I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'


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.

Jessica, the Universe must know that you will raise your sons to be wonderful men.

Sox, I know how I would say that to the supervisors I have - something along the lines of, "Oh, I'm sorry. When you handed that new project with the launch date of ____ off to me, I ended up spending ___ hours on it to get the job done. So I only had _ hours to give to that one. I must have misunderstood which project had the priority." Of course, by and large my supervisors are either rational, or have rational people above them that I can appeal to. So I don't know how well that will work with the jerk-off you are working for/with.

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

The Steampunk Workshop did a review of Gothic Charm School, here: [link]

The reviewer uses the book review as a bridge to compare steampunk culture and goth culture, and also mentions he's passing the book along to his daughter, who is neither goth nor steampunk, but should find it useful anyway.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Congratulations, PixDesigns! A long lifetime of joyful co-conspiracy to you both!

I kinda felt the same way - I mean, I get crying AT a wedding, but we weren't even there. Except we were. The same way we are here for each other at any other time. The soul doesn't care about physical location.

That is an excellent way to put it; so very true.

Speaking of...

I'd like to ask some of that powerful Buffista health~ma for one of my clients, who has a long-term skin condition, which is flaring up rather badly, at least partly in reaction to some of the treatments given for the condition. It's painful and itchy, and keeps the person from sleeping, as well as causing some challenging behaviors. The usual dermatologist said she couldn't do anything more, time to go back to the Mayo clinic at Rochester. But can't get in to the dermatologist there, for a few weeks yet. The primary care physician has been more useful and sensible than the local specialist. This person needs relief, and needs it soon.

~ma for your client, Andi. The dry weather right now sure doesn't help the situation any, I'm sure. ::scratches at right leg::
