Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The show is in PA, and I'm probably going up for the weekend--if I decide to go at all. You aren't that far from me (north of DC), but my hometown is another hour and a half.

Oh, I know where the show is, never fear. I could stay the weekend; I have friends in the area. Wouldn't really want to turn around and drive all the way home after the show, anyway.

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

Oooh! We could do a sleepover.

Why yes we can. I like the way you think. We'll compare calendars....

Ha. OK, let me figure out if I'm actually going to go. Profile addy is good if we need to discuss further.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

amyth, your brother's sense of responsibility towards his family sounds a lot like my landlord's sense of responsibility towards his tenants. I'm so sorry you have to deal with his bullshit on top of everything else!

In other news, my arm is hurting again, like it did with the earlier bout of cat-scratch fever. Jesus H., I don't want to go through this whole damn thing all over again.

Compassionately intolerant

Dancre Stoker's "sequel" to Dracula NO NO NO. Could not stand that book.

Jilli, if the audiobook was not read by Simon Prebble, I would have abandoned it in the first couple of chapters.

The conceit Stoker chose to extend the story is incredibly lazy. Seriously. 'Overused' doesn't even cover it.

Prebble makes it fun and atmospheric, though.

I'm grateful for excellent readers. Honestly, were it not for Jim Dale, I'm not sure I would have made it through the Chamber of Secrets.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

sj, you have the patience of a saint.

Ha! So very much not. If my mother heard someone say that she would never stop laughing.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Kate, I hope you don't have to go through all of that again. Good grief!

Prebble makes it fun and atmospheric, though.

That is so weird to read, because that's my last name! But with one b. Plus, everyone around here calls me by my last name.

I MAKE IT FUN AND ATMOSPHERIC.

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

ION, Christian Kane is playing a free show 2/19 ten minutes away from my parents' house, and I'm thinking about going. Don't know if I want to go by myself though.

Oooh. I might be interested, too.
