'First Date'
[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 can sort of manage the Hebrew r. Not totally, though. I have more trouble with it at the end of words than in the middle -- I can say Shira or Shiri more easily than I can say Shir.
Just got a rejection email. Not from a job I'd interviewed for -- from a job I'd applied for and then never heard from again until now. So that leaves somewhere around 125 that I haven't heard from yet.
I am, however, surprised at how often I am asked to spell my first name.
I always ask people how to spell their names. John Smith? Jon Smythe is a completely legit alternative. As to your first name, this guy has a alternate spelling (admittedly one that is often a feminine variation, but not always). [link]
smonster, we're upgrading to Environmental lightbulbs right now and it's fucking great(we hope so, anyway)
Dammit. Drew's mom is back in the hospital with a bad infection. Health ~ma for her and coping ~ma for Drew would be appreciated.

My advisor is now averaging one response for every five emails I send him.
Oh, man. I hope his mother is okay.
Pix--I didn't mean to skip past your coffee post of earlier. You're right--my weekends are a crapshoot. If you're okay with the idea of something last minute, I can let you know if a weekend looks good. But they're usually very quiet around here.

Thanks for the well wishes. At least it looks treatable. First call I got this morning was that they were worried she'd had a stroke, at least it wasn't that, just a really bad infection that was leading to some dementia.
Ma for Drew and fam.
I do feel I should try to do a bit better with your name. That 'r' is tricky in Hebrew, though. I say it like a French 'r' and The Girl cringes.
Damn, so it's not? Now I'm going to have to track down a Hebrew speaker and figure this pesky r out.
erika, crap. I only replied to you in my head, I think. But good on ya for going there. Did you get CFLs? They can take some adjusting to. The light is generally much bluer than incandescent.
