I'm watching Ninja Warrior & one of the guys is named Kobayashi. I puzzled over it for a moment before asking D where I'd heard that name before.
Also in the Usual Suspects, isn't it?
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see 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.

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?
Hey! Stop stealing the Chicago boys. Hard enough around here as it is.
Amen, sistah!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hil, good luck on the presentation, and at the interviews.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We were up until 12:30 last night, grouting the new tile in the kitchen. White Tile + Black Grout = Endless Hours of Work. We should have finished as it will be more work to remove the excess bits today, but we were both too damn tired and my back could not take another minute of leaning over the counter scraping off bits of caulk. I did NOT want to get up this morning, I tell you what.

Smart people can be stupid too
Chiming in *super* late re the reading thing. I'm not sure how old I was when I learned how to read but I do know that it was a bit of a struggle for my book-loving family.
Much like Em, I showed *very* little interest in reading when I was in kindergarten but found math easy and interesting. The thing that made a difference for me was finding a book that was actually interesting to me (in my case, How Much Is a Million by David M. Schwartz). After that, the only problem was getting me to *stop* reading. Not sure if it helps, but that's my two cents!
ETA ~ma to everyone who needs some! (I don't post often, but I send my ~ma all the time) and BABY PICSPAM!! Here are some pictures of Simon RaRa and Kira's baby (pictures are on facebook, I hope people can see them!)
