You can light a piece of spaghetti or a twist of paper by holding it against an electric burner. It's not enormously safe, at least, it doesn't feel enormously safe when I do it, but it can be done.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I guess I should allow a bit more travel time for my errands tomorrow.
Um, that would be wise. Even wiser would be putting them off until Sunday (edit: Well, except for synagogue. I know that's not flexible.). Football is the true religion up there. Any major artery into the university town from the surrounding environs is going to be clogged up from tonight to at least Sunday morning.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, synagogue really can't be put off, and the furniture store is on the road on the way back home from there. If the traffic is ridiculous, then the hangers can wait until some other time.

LOL. I just edited my post, Hil. I realized that one of those things was not like the others.

Do they still play football when it's raining? There's definitely a storm coming in.
(The last time I was at a football game was when I was a junior football cheerleader in fourth grade. And I had no interest in what was going on on the field -- I just liked the dance and gymnastics parts of it, and that I always got to be on top of the pyramids.)

Yep. Snow too. The only thing that would make them call or postpone the game is lightning or other dangerous weather phenomena.

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.
ION, someone please tell me to stop wallowing. I'm just feeling sorry for myself, and there are lots of other people who have it worse than me.
Stop wallowing. At least you are not as desperate for work as Scott Baio and Peter Wingfield were when they agreed to do Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 ... the expressions on Peter's face... gamely hamming it up for the camera.... heartbreaking.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Football games in heavy snow can be very amusing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Shit. I totally fucked up. I was supposed to meet my co-leader and go over Daisy stuff and I totally spaced it and we went bowling with another family and now she's (totally rightfully) pissed and not answering my texts to come and get her right now and go out.
Fuck fuck fuck. Crap. Fuck.

Aw crud, Aims. I hope you can get in touch with her soon.
