Emmett loves his fake parking tickets and uses them liberally around SF and Albany.

Also I loved the article on the Edwardian ball and would love to go one year.

You should! I'd feed you cherry chocolate bread and buy you a cocktail!

Though I'd need major makeup & wardrobe help.

See now, if Jilli came down everybody could have a makeover party.

I'm skipping, and partly wondering what I've missed that made my Bitches so talky.

Shower sex and Barb's need for more bookshelves.

Zen, ITA.

Thanks, Barb. It is eerily quiet here today. Hopefully mommy dearest is passed out somewhere.

Shower sex and Barb's need for more bookshelves.

Tell me that that doesn't have anything to do with each other.

...

No. How can shower sex has to do with needing more bookshelves? All the sane people would agree with me that libraries are better than bookshelves. And one doesn't keep her library in the shower. And that's it.

Bitches! I have an issue that requires advice.

Library sex.

Library sex.

Shouldn't happen in the shower.

Think of the books!

Shower sex and Barb's need for more bookshelves.

Mmmmm, shower sex. Mmmmm, bookshelves. These are a few of my favorite things.

The Girl is watching Ireland playing... someone at rugby. She keeps shouting "No!" so I'm guessing Ireland is losing. She's also giving advice to the team. "Don't kick it - pass it - come on - hurray." Is this normal, or should I worry? (She has just come in and informed me that it's England who are playing, and she's temporarily supporting them against Wales. This may be unprecedented.)

Anthony Head in 'Six Degrees' would have been amazing, were it not for the miserable elitist bastards that treated me like a small child all the way through and ruined the experience. Ah, the British theatre-going elite.

P-C, that sounds like your landlord's trying to get out of his maintenance responsibilities. I've lived in a few places with landlords who refuse to take their responsibilities seriously (most recently, an extremely dangerous oven that took them nearly a year to replace, and then an inaccessible front door), and I'm learning that they often get spooked (and give in) when you throw your legal rights at them. Is there any way you can get legal advice here?

Is no fair. I want to be able to have shower sex. (Although accessible bathrooms in hotels are lovely things. I'm just sayin'.)

On the subject of shower sex, I'll note I was in Good Vibrations the other day and had special wall mounts for the shower so you could get a foothold.
