[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Askye, I'm glad you made it through your workday, that you're both feeling and focusing better, and that your course of IVABX is done, hopefully the infection is history.

Ginger, I hope by the time you see this your jaw is feeling much better.

My eyes are what John D. MacDonald called "spit-colored eyes", sort of a colorless grey.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

erin, maybe you could call the city sewer department (or whatever it's called) and ask them about the letter and explain why you are reluctant to open it. That way, if it IS meant for you, they can send you a new copy.

I would also be sure to get the name of whoever you speak to, and ask that the time, day you called be noted down in case anyone gets on your tail later about a deadline you didn't get to hear about in time.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'm being very productive, trying to avoid studying for the test I have in two days. Previously: TV with the Dog and my Dad. Next: baking and sewing. After that: an ep of Blackadder and the weekend's papers.

But the headache I had for 20 hours is now gone, hooray!

Barb, I LOVED the Wall of Books.

{{Vortex}} and some snuggling, too.

erin, I would open the letter and if it is something the old owners really need, put it in a new envelope with a very nice note that says, "oops! I made a mistake and thought this was for me."

The baby has transferred her baby germs to both my DH and me. Ah-choo.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh my god, the Indian food was SO GOOD. I had a little of both the matar paneer and the aloo saag. I can't decide which one I like better, so I think they should always be combined. And the garlic naan must have crack in it.

Was it the place I went to?

The place that interpreted "no cilantro" as "please give me ALL THE CILANTRO IN YOUR KITCHEN"? No -- this is a new(ish) place.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The place that interpreted "no cilantro" as "please give me ALL THE CILANTRO IN YOUR KITCHEN"?

Hee. That would be the one.

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

Having a crazy few days. Today: bought an outfit for confirmation (Shir, I went with a skirt like you suggested! It's blue!), worked on PhD application stuff, am currently nursing The Girl through a migraine, my mother is on her way to stay here overnight and we're going out for dinner. Tomorrow: confirmation rehearsal, entertaining my mother, buying a scarf (need to cover up my tummy in the new outfit), getting my mother out of the door before my father and not-stepmother arrive to stay over and take us out for dinner. Sunday: collecting my grandmother from the suburbs, confirmation, taking everyone out for lunch (we are going to run out of restaurants). Then sleep.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Dog Hivemind:

The Dog, for the past 2 weeks, is most likely to be found on my bed, for hours, and usually weeps/refuses to come down when offered (even with treats - though even without them, his tail is still very wagging).

Now, this dog has a history of issues, but this is new. Anyone has the slightest inkling what the fuck is wrong with him now? I know that lightnings freights him, and he indeed run the people of the house when it's stormy, but it continued for several days since the last rainpocolypse.

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

Hey, Shir.
