NORA!! YAY!!
I assume there will be much celebrating. Did Tom come away from the oyster reletively unscathed? I know you said he was unwell, but did he get it out of his system relatively OK?
BIRTHDAY HAPPIES TO JILLI!!!

[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 cook, I don't bake.
I do both and I still wouldn't get much use out of a bundt pan.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Super behind, but:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JILLI!!!
YAY NORA!!!!
Pix, I hope it works out. Hil, I'll pay for Vortex to smack your advisor.
Re: The Fernet article: R Bar, which he calls out, is also a Boston bar, and is one of my neighborhood hangouts (I've taken Perkins there). Yeah, it's clean-professional-types as a rule, but it's also an industry bar. I love it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still wouldn't get much use out of a bundt pan.
But they're pretty! Okay, so I don't actually have one of the plain ones with the hole in the middle (what are they called?), because they're boring, but I tend to have one of everything else, including mini-bundt pans, because I love the cathedralesque architecture so much.

Speaking of The Jilli, I'm being Extremely Impatient and ask here: does anyone know her PayPal account email address and can email it to me?
I'm working my way to a copy of GCS.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
one of the plain ones with the hole in the middle (what are they called?)
I think those are just called tube pans.
I not only have a bundt pan, but I have this absurd 6-cup mini bundt muffin type pan which I've used maybe once in my baking life. It's not useful, but it's so cute!

Did Tom come away from the oyster reletively unscathed?
Yeah, he was fine- I magicked it all away with gin-based cocktails.
ION, Gah- just discovered I made an error that will almost certainly get back to my director who has previously called a meeting with me to discuss my failure at stupid crap like that.

Yay Nora!
Shir, I just saw my email and sent you a reply.
I have a fabulous new hat for today, because friends of mine who run gothy clothing stores love me. 41 is pretty awesome so far.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I've hard a sort of ache and feeling of weakness in my left hip/butt. It goes away when I do the stretch Steph mentioned here (all I can remember is the dominatrix part, and not the actual name.)
Ha! It's the piriformis muscle.
Those soldiers are perceived as "broken". It's a huge part of Army culture.
I don't know if anyone here knows (or knows OF) ginmar, on LiveJournal, but she's an Iraq veteran with severe PTSD -- she doesn't drive, and she can't take the bus because it sounds to her exactly like a Humvee and triggers flashbacks and massive panic attacks. So the VA had been providing transportation for her until recently, when they stopped. So now she has no way to get to the VA. She posted about it on DailyKos recently, as well as in her own LJ. It's a shitty, shitty situation.

Thank dog for that. I know bad shellfish can do a serious number, but I bet the one he spat out was the offending critter.
