So if the aliens were going to create a world for you based on a book, which book would you want them to have?
I'd take Muppet-verse. Or Discworld-verse. Or Hitchhiker-verse.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My oldest sister has started a blog about her medical saga. If I haven't mentioned it here before, she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of uterine cancer. Her latest update has her on her 4th week of chemo, and her oncologist is using the word "pleased". As she says, " It has been a long time since "pleased" has been part of a conversation regarding my health." And talk has begun about the post-chemo stage. There hadn't been any talk before now about post-chemo.
My brain has always run to a stuttering halt when thinking about this, but there may be, if not hope, then the potential for something less awful than feared.

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.
Connie that's amazing! I'm glad there's a glimmer of something other than complete dread there.

I hope there's a good long post-chemo period for which to plan, Connie.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Wonderful news, Connie!
TCG's sleep study for tonight was canceled because insurance won't cover it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad for less awfulness, Connie!
Life in the Muppet-verse sounds pretty good. I think I would be at home on the Discworld.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Casa Vega is pretty good Mexican, IIRC.
Watch out for the face attacking tiles, though. Just ask Emeline.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That's great news, Connie!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Gah. Just tripped over a Rubik's cube and partially dislocated a rib. This seems like it ought to be part of a short story or something, but I can't figure out what all the symbolism would be.
