[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You don't want to ask anyone to take sides in this.

Okay. Although they would totally take my side.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

To sum up: if you have EDS and think you've subluxed/dislocated something, do not ring a doctor. They will tell you that you can't dislocate joints unless you've fallen. *headdesk*

OMGWTFdoctor!fail.

Uh, have him ring me up so I can punch him in the face. Without dislocating my shoulder.

Go Barb go!

I finally bought the boots I've been wanting for months! [link] And I may have tripped and also ordered these in red: [link]

I couldn't resist 20% off on top of 70% off. I'm only human, ya know. Now I just need to file all my FSA reimbursements so I can pay down my credit card. I was supposed to do that *first,* but the sale got in the way.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Barb! Leavin' on a jet plane...

smonster, those boots are rockin' and if they offered those shoes in my size, I fear I would have bought them, too.

Aww, congratulations, Erin!

Sometimes, I dream I've found a store that has all the polishes I wish I owned. And then I am sad when I wake up.

I have a recurring dream where I am in the Thrift Store of the Gods, where I find all the polishes Plei wants, a bunch of Fluevog boots, stripy blazers, and a first edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes. Sometimes the dream then adds a zombie attack. My subconscious is strange.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

a first edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes

I can no longer remember - did that ever come out as Dark Carnival, or was that just a working title that Bradbury changed at the last minute?

Nevermind - I googled and that was the origial title of The October Country collection. Yep, that memory really ISN'T doing so good on some subjects.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Uh, have him ring me up so I can punch him in the face. Without dislocating my shoulder.

Heh. Love to. (I would have had such a go at the doctor in question, but The Girl was talking to him on my behalf, as I was in masses of pain at the point that they called. If I'm not better within the 12 hours that he says I will be, I shall be calling back to shout at him.)

Barb, yay for plane!

smonster, those are *some* boots. Wow. Now I want boots. You people, you're all very bad for my finances.

Dark Carnival is the title of Bradbury's first published book, which was a short story collection. It has my favorite story ever by him, "Homecoming".

Powells' has a first edition of it in the rare book room. I go visit it every time we're in PDX.
